Bootleg Beatles

Very enjoyable evening at the CIA/Motorpoint/Utilita tonight. Lovely bit of nostalgia.

Saw them last year and they put on a great show.
Slightly disturbing was the Paul McCartney person as he appeared to have had some dubious plastic surgery to look like the original.
Compare that to the drummer who had some dodgy wigs and noses, which he soon disposed of.

Re: Bootleg Beatles

I've never been into bands who try to imitate others.

I don't mind when there are a few covers, but dressing up the same and copying mannerisms of thr band members is a bit embarrassing.

I always wonder why can't they do their own stuff?

I think if you were in a covers band getting paid big bucks you would not find it embarrassing in the slightest.

Not everybody is creative enough to write their own music. I play guitar to a reasonable level (sort of) but alas songwriting is not a gift that has been bestowed on me.

They usually play St David's Hall this time of year so I assume it was moved because of the closure.

I thought as much

Although the CIA isn't a very big arena as things go I wouldn't have thought it would be their kind of venue

Sabbath Tribute , Children Of The Gravy

Bridgend On Tour

In the late 70's/early 80's there was a programme on BBC Wales regarding the 3 blocks of flats in Ball Road Llanrumney and the social problems being experienced there. To make it more sinister, they had Children Of The Grave as the backing track, which I found quite hilarious being both a Sabbath fan and a Llanrumney boy.

Are the flats still there or has the devil demolished them ?

Has anyone seen the Analogues? I would love to see them. As far as I know, they have never come here.

I know that. They have played in the UK and they play in Europe. They have yet to come to the US as far as I know. Anyway, I would pay good money to see them perform live.

Exactly, there is an audience who goes out on a Friday and Saturday night to have a few beers and watch a good set of musicians play some of their favorite tracks, I go out and watch original material but also and as I will be doing tonight go out and watch covers, I presume you play on the local circuit, I went to the pats last week to see Pipe Dream, I will see them again tonight in the potters, great musicians, tight band and good guys who take the time and effort to acknowledge those who go to watch them Covid messed things up a bit but a few of the bands I used to watch regularly are still going.

Exactly. Also, there is something to be admired about musicians who are versatile enough to in be something like a wedding band. Add to that, they are making a career out of doing something they love. And I'm sure most of them tried it the other way before they found their niche.
