Offside Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yes, it’s really good. Much better than his last one, which I really couldn’t get into. Get Happy!!! remains my favourite album of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 My interest in our Dec took an upswing after I read his autobiography Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink a couple of years ago. Although quite a bit of the book is about his father and EC's relationship with him, he comes across as a man who you'd like if you met. His philosophy on life, his love of all types of music, his humour and view-of-self are things you would look for in a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that his phone must be full of brilliant musical contacts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost interest a bit in his later career but the bits I've heard sounded good. I was going to get tickets for Bath, the MRs likes him too so I thought why not. Until I saw front row tickets were £170 each. Think I'll give it a miss, still getting over the cost of Van Morrison tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolute classic, some of the greatest lyrics ever written by an Englishman in my opinion. 22 hours ago, Red-Robbo said: My interest in our Dec took an upswing after I read his autobiography Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink a couple of years ago.

I loved that book (I listened to the audio version), his story about the charity gig where he and Steve Nieve had to follow Bob Dylan on stage had me in fits.

I would put Brutal Youth high in my list of favourite albums, it was the last with Attractions and apparently there was some real tension between him and Bruce Thomas but that seemed to give it an edge to me. 34 minutes ago, 1960maaan said: I am tempted.

Not seen him since Punch the Clock Tour, which was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespa Red Posted January 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I was due to see him in Cardiff back in 2020 just as Covid hit so it was postponed (and not rearranged). Sadly, I am not planning any gigs for the time being (I don't go to the football either despite having a season ticket) as my wife's cancer is progressing otherwise I might have looked at either Bath or Swansea as options. Some things though are more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a ******* shitshow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
