Said when I saw them recently, best live guitar sound I've heard. They're on my go to every tour list atm, as long as they keep playing at places like the Flowerpot in Derby.
Andy Powell & Ted Turner were a brilliant guitar duo back in the 70s, their unique guitar sound was something special for me, sheer ecstasy!
It amazes me, how so many old bands are still touring, must be very tiring at their ages on the road
Here's a list of them I've just read :
Simple Minds
The Damned
Echo & The Bunnymen
Lightening Seeds
Feeder
Rick Wakeman
Pretenders
Steve Hackett
Pet Shop Boys
Also there is a two separate festivals, a folk & a blues one on at Blackpool Winter Gardens in February, featuring Colosseum, Eric Bibb, Richard Thompson, Eddi Reader & Dean Friedman.
Adore Midlake's first three albums, Tim Smith departed the band & those magical songs weren't so apparent on 'Antiphon' & 'For the Sake of Bethel Woods' I feel.

Saw the Damned at Nostell Priory in '84... could've been '83.
That was my first gig that I went with friends rather than family.
It was 84’
The barrier fell down during the first song but luckily nobody was injured.
It was a hippy weekend with punk on the Friday night, the police raided it on the Sunday but were too late, 99% of the drugs were used up

Aha! Yes, a bunch of us went with someone who'd only just passed his test... nearly died on the M1.
Seem to remember drugs openly on sale. Remember Marillion, Ten Years After, Phil Lynott not being very good...

Only The Smile album interests me.
I used to really like Joe Jackson.
"Night and Day" and "Look Sharp" were real keepers.
