[Music] Happy Mondays @ Preston Park, Sat 15th July

[Psychobilly freakout]

Do it......

 

[The Clamp]

I’m hesitant. All three times I’ve seen them live, they’ve been atrocious. But I do love their music.

Doubt I would go to be honest, all those fiveways dads, and mums, reliving their youth, in skinny short jeans, beanies and logger boots.
Plus some very dubious other acts also playing, not my cup of Earl Grey to be honest.

 

[The Clamp]

Agree. But I think, local innit. Easy peas. People watching the audience might be worth the ticket price alone. There’s gonna be some absolute casualties in that crowd

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Could get messy

 

[schmunk]

Some memories should just be left alone...

 

[Hotchilidog]

Saw them the last time they played the Brighton Centre. Was a fun night, too many good tunes not to be.

 

[Live by the sea]

They couldn’t sing live even in their prime . Will be embarrassing now I suspect .

I saw them back in the day and don’t recall any obvious issue with Shaun Ryder’s vocals…..unlike say Ian Brown

 

[BN9 BHA]

They were on tv at some festival last year, Ryder was shouting swear words along to the music, so pissed or drugged up (or both) he couldn’t remember the words to his own songs.
Should be fun

 

[Hamilton]

This has got car crash written all over it.

His recent tour was like he'd never been away...

It'll be fun both on and off stage. The Mondays will turn up with a guest list as long as your arm, and every Manc within a hundred miles who's not on that list will find a way in without buying a ticket. I do hope the organisers know what they're letting themselves in for

I read about this at the time. At least the band now have the sense to stay away!

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Ian Brown in his Scooterboy/Psychobilly days....

 

[Arthur]

His recent tour was like he'd never been away...

I went to Brixton. It's was ok and packed but I guess we knew what to expect. Think I probably would have been miffed had it been the opening night.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Saw them the last time they played the Brighton Centre. Was a fun night, too many good tunes not to be.

Me too. Bez had a beer belly and they messed up at least three songs, plus Paul was still alive. Good reasons for not going again.

I also met a collection of familiar faces and ne'er do wells who'd aged even worse than I had, which is probably why I'll end up getting a ticket.

 

[Willow]

I saw them at the IOW festival last year which sadly turned out to be Paul Ryder's last gig. I thought they were great fun, still plenty of energy and Rowetta does a fine job helping Sean hold the vocals together.

 

[Live by the sea]

You’d would be much better off saving your dollars & buying a ticket to see Duran Duran at the o2 in may !

 

[Mr Banana]

Am I right in remembering that Black Grape were good when they played the Conk a few years ago?

Rowetta seems like a Very Sound Legend but I imagine she might be mekkin’ oop for t’rest of ‘em.
