Rush had a Holland gig on sky arts yesterday. Wow!

Speaking of thr Dutch ......I am not going to p*y for gigs at the moment (that would be sheer insanity when I still owe the uni £3000 from last year - i dont get loans), but I did go to the Dutch Day concert at Trafalgar Square on the weekend. It was half pretty decent even though volume was turned down for the residents. Rigby did a brash, young (but a bit randy lol) Ash-like act, whilst Rachel Louise provided the twentysomething soulful musings. Just a shame so few people were watching...whats wrong with London people, missing out on a free gig? Usually the Square was teeming with folks in past years.

I am not ashamed to say that was my first gig of the year.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Ahh, thanks Superhero - yes very proud. He was the support act for Will Young at a gig a couple of years ago and was tutored by Chris Difford (Squeeze) when he was at Brighton Institute of Modern Music.

Looks like Lady Gaga might have overpriced herself? There's still tickets for her 2nd show in London, but they are really pricey. £77 to sit at the back of a stadium?

I find it quite cheap for "such an artist". All popular and succesful artists concerts can cost more than £100.... to sit at the back of a stadium!

We would love to go to Lady Gaga but I would need to b*y at least 3 tickets and £77 each is more than I can afford. I was really surprised that Katy Perry only charged £34 a ticket last year.
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

I got tickets for my mates and would have gone this time, but I will not p*y that sort of money for an open air gig. if it had been the O2, I would have willing to p*y that much.
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

£77 for Lady Gaga is definitely to much.
Does anybody have ticket for Madonna? ;)
