I went to the CIA gig back in 96, despite thinking Morning Glory not being as good as their first album. I lost all interest by the time their third album came out and would have absolutely no interest in seeing them this time round even if the ticket prices were cheap. But fair play to those choosing to spend their hard earned dosh on experiences that would interest them.
I go to fair amount of gigs still. Horsegirl in Bristol Theckla a couple of weeks ago was very good. Really looking forward to seeing Bodega in a couple of weeks at Bristol Trinity.
