Bad Manners & Midge Ure live at the Ropetackle Shoreham

[T soprano]

Not on the same night but both appearing live in Shoreham in April 2014
At last the small venue is getting some decent acts ( if you grew up in the 80s)

Got my tickets for Bad Manners, always a brilliant night out

Saw Hayseed Dixie there last night. Fantastic band and a sold out crowd.

I love Special Brew.

A word of warning though. Last Christmas - the Brighton Beach Boys played there. I thought pre-Christmas, Beach Boys hits, it is going to be a dance. Nope. It was all seated, with people shuffling in their seats. Nightmare.

So - it may be worth contacting the Ropetackle and suggesting that it is best standing.

Is that an ACDC tribute band

Went to see FROM THE JAM there earlier this year as well, it's definitely turning into a better music venue now when it first opened it was very Arty Farty

It is all standing like it was at FROM THE JAM, the venue as suddenly seen the light and in order to stay open is finally entertaining the masses

Edit
Anyway I think it would be damn near impossible to sit down while watching Bad Manners

Excellent. Then it should be a great night.

They normally play every Xmas time (well for the last 2/3 years they have ) at CONCORDE 2, so haven't been playing at massive venues for a while but is always a brilliant night out and highly recommended by T Soprano

I Think From the Jam are playing Concorde 2 in December.

That's common knowledge. Can we please stick to music?

When they released CAN CAN at the time it wasn't my favourite song they put out but when they play it live now it certainly gets the crowd jumping

Not sure but at a guess I'd say around 200/250

........

In a manner of speaking



Their bluegrass cover of "Ace of Spades" has to be heard to be believed, would love to see them live.

saw Bad Manners in Jenkinson's Bar in the early 80's (?) - big punch up with BB and band threatening to walk out if the NF continued to disrupt the show!

Cheers for the heads up. May pop along to see Bad Manners.
