Gwenda Fox has had me smiling all afternoon with this. This is what these things really SHOULD be called…esp. if you were doing them in Oz in the height of summer…let’s face it! Lol. It wouldn’t take much to get someone giddy… ??? (This was Gwenda’s comment to Jim’s post this morning about Ross Stapleton…
A great location for an outdoor venue…right in the heart of the city centre. It was one of the main reasons I chose to go to Leeds when tossing up which of these Grandslam gigs to go to back in the early spring. Leeds would be fairly cheap and hassle free for me to get…

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…
