Review: Grandslam – KT Tunstall, Pretenders, Simple Minds – Kent Event Centre, Maidstone – August 4th, 2018
I could start with the whole personal account with the logistics of getting to the gig, etc…but it is actually too horrendous to go over it all. Put it this way…all the trepidation I was feeling about going was being made manifest. So…let’s skip all that. I met up with Ally Scott and her husband…

“Have A Nice Day”
I feel sick. Nauseous. Like I do with anything that just fills me with fear and trepidation. Job interviews…dealing with government departments…”adulting”, basically.

Ya Meet ‘Em And Then Ya Greetin’
I love this band, still…but…yeah, sadly that’s too much for me, and far too short notice too. If you are planning to go to Maidstone, for example, you have THREE DAYS to come up with the money – unless sold out beforehand. If not obvious what I am on about – Simple Minds today announced…
