UK Tours 2001 in general Reviews

Mostly Autumn. The Wharf, Tavistock, Devon. 30/09/06. £13.00. You may be asking, and rightly so, what the hell is a boogie merchant such as Farting Weasel doing at a prog gig? Yep, I’ve been asking myself the same thing. However, I have a soft spot for Mostly Autumn. I do enjoy a spot of prog. It makes ...  Read the complete review

Smash Hits Tour 2001 - Manchester M.E.N - 1.12.01 Each year it rolls into town...bigger and better than the previous year. Its the Pop Fest known as the Smash Hits Tour were talking about of course and for the kids its an institution. Some may come and some may go but Smash Hits is still there as strong as ever knocking its second rate ...  Read the complete review

A couple of months ago, my dad offered me a ticket to go and see Dr John live at Warwick Arts Centre. Not knowing much about Dr John, but always willing to accept a free concert ticket, I said yes! About a week before the concert, I asked my Dad if he had any music I could borrow so I could get to know a bit about this Dr John before I went to ...  Read the complete review

Quite possibly. This year at Slane Castle, they put on a concert. Oh yes, they put on a concert. This opinion is about U2 so I'm just going to put a short note on each of the support acts. Relish kicked off the day with a lively and bouncy set, including 3 over-sized Relish beachballs, which were always going to go down well. They ...  Read the complete review

Last night me and my mates went to see 3 bands at the Highbury Garage in London. I'd never been there before and was suprised at how small it was. Well actually it looked pretty big at the start considering there wasn't many people there. It's a pretty good venue though because the bands mingle with the crowd. I bumped into one of the ...  Read the complete review

Moments after entering the venue i was handed a green lolly pop with WEEZER printed across the candy. Now that is one way to encourage me to have a good time- sweeties!! Support acts were watered-down-Weezers, to generalise. Geek Rock By Numbers, and in all honesty everyone was waiting for Weezer. They unveiled a backdrop of the Weezer ...  Read the complete review

It's been three years since Supergrass last played in Norwich and now as part of a few warm-up gigs they rolled into Norwich once more. They've had one new album since their last visit so fans were hoping to here some of the tracks off it-they weren't disappointed. The support band's name was something I didn't catch ...  Read the complete review

It had been billed as "one wild night" and it sure was. Bon Jovi was all set to rock the bowl. This was my third visit to see Bon Jovi at the bowl and I for one could not wait. The only dampener was on the weather! It was overcast all-day, then the heavens opened at teatime, but the trust the bin liner safe today. Upon entering the ...  Read the complete review

Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th June. What a cracking couple of days!! My Sister and I are mad Bon Jovi fans, and decided that following the Crush tour last year, we would go again, this time to the "One wild night tour". (not that it took much persuasion!) We were up at 4.30am to drive from Bristol to Milton Keynes and ...  Read the complete review

Sona Fariq have just completed their UK tour - supported by Tung (a kind of nu-metal band who recently won a 'shed seven cover' competition - strange, huh?). I was fortunate to see them at the Sheffield Casbah, where they put on an excellent yet fairly short performance. With a lot of new songs and older songs such as 'Drop the ...  Read the complete review

I know I'm going to sound like a moaning old man when/if people read this, but what the hell. I went to the Deconstruction 2001 gig @ the London Arena, Mon 28th. I'm was dissapointed to leave so early (6pm). The bands that I saw were great, even though I didn't stay to see Pennywise, the only band I wanted to see on the bill. ...  Read the complete review

A few months ago I found myself at a secondary school talent contest (as a spectator, not a contestant you understand). It was really sweet. Most of the acts involved singing, and a few consisted of putative boy or girl bands dancing along to hits by the Spice Girls and Boyzone. They all put heart and soul into their performances and although ...  Read the complete review

Nice weather, food, drink, and free music. What more do you want on a Bank Holiday weekend? The first of the Radio One Free roadshows took place yeaterday in Morfa fields in Swansea. There was a good line up of acts there including Wheatus, "It wasn't me" Shaggy, S CLub7, Hearsay, Architects, Spooks, and JJ72 and it was all ...  Read the complete review

Yesterday was the start of Radio ones ‘Big Day Out ‘ concerts starting off with a day at Morfa Stadium in Swansea, South Wales. The kids had been pestering me to take them, as basically it was a kids line up. We started off by driving to the outskirts of Swansea and being directed to the park and ride sites situated close to ...  Read the complete review

Okay, I am going to write a review about Nebula live, as I managed to catch them live on Monday night, and I thought they were kick ass. I was due to go to Mudvayne a week ago to watch them, but they cancelled, so my friend and I were eager to go and watch another gig. So we were reading through the Kerrang! Gig list, and a band called orange ...  Read the complete review
