That one indeed! Really nice bloke when he's not moaning like a bitch

Haha, we use to get good banter with him. He was a good teacher as well, made maths interesting.

Where did you study?

Saw them live last night at TOM Hove and have done a few times before, but I still just can't warm to them..........technically spot on but oddly lacking soul for me.

Agreed, saw them in Bristol Nov/Dec, not great to be honest, sound production was poor but the performance was too.

This looks great, unfortunately I'll likely not be able to hear next Wednesday after Swans abuse my ears on the Tuesday night.

This however, is completely the reason I still love them. They could very easily play tours of the Academy venues and pick up their pay check from their devoted fan base but they don't. They are always thinking of ways to bring that (metaphorical) barrier between band and audience and if for nothing else I think that is worthy of a lot of credit.

Saw British Sea Power last night. Two sets- the first was quieter stuff lasting half an hour then after the support another hour and a half. Hugely entertaining as always and perfect sound. Good selection of songs from all albums. If you get a chance to see them live them take it. They are truly immense.
