Anyone going to this gig by The Hitchers in Leeds 7th October? It's the evening of the Bristol City home game.

'Strachan' by the Hitchers is my favourite LUFC-related song of all time. No, it's my favourite indie football-related song of all time. Plenty more excellent indie bangers too that I remember from their Peel sessions back in the day.

They're from Limerick and haven't played in Leeds since I saw them at The Duchess in about 2001.

Another bump for this brilliant band's upcoming Leeds gig. I'm told they've produced a new Gordon Strachan t-shirt especially.

Heading over to Leeds tomorrow for the Boxer Rebellion gig in The Brudenell Social Club then for the Bristol City game on Saturday. Great little venue for a gig near Headingly & cheap beer. Win win win.

Yes, just been a couple of times but they seem to get some good names. Texas played in July & tickets were £18.99 & you got a 2 disc cd thrown in.

Got to say if it was £1.99 I probably wouldn't have bothered with Texas :)

I saw them, supporting Simple Minds in Cardiff Arms Park, before they knocked in down and developed the Millennium (Principality) Stadium in 1989 and they (Texas) were absolute :poo: ........one of the worst bands I've seen live.

Have a good one Victor, let us all know how it goes. I prefer smaller gigs like that now done my share of going to overpriced, rip off, bigger venues/ artists. Tickets for tomorrow night were around £18 each.

Boxer Rebellion were very good, mentioned before the Brudenell is a great small venue. Leeds match on Sat, Ireland stuffed Scotland in the rugby & all trains, planes & automobiles were on time all weekend. Cracking time.

Shed Seven at The Tramshed, Cardiff last night 👍

A band who always deliver a really good show. Rick Witter always ensures a bit of inbetween song interaction with the crowd, as opposed to minimal chat and one song straight into the next.

The candlelight concerts have become a big thing now, went to see The Music of Hans Zimmer in St Anne’s Cathedal in Belfast last year & it was very good as well. No heat on so it was Baltic though. 🥶

Haven't been to a gig for a few years now , a bit sparse down my neck of the woods and certainly don't want to trek anywhere near London. Bands I have seen over the years , mostly in Brum....
Stranglers, Clash , Dead Kennedys, GBH , Discharge, UK Subs, Anti Pasti , Spizz, Drongos ,Dropkick Murphys , Sex Pistols ,Gary Numan, Killing Joke, Taxi Girl.... probably forgotten some on that list too .
