Prophets, Seers and Sages: Explosions at The Sage
http://prophetsseersandsages.blogspot.com/2016/10/explosions-at-sage.html
Prophets, Seers and Sages. A recollection of gigs I've attended from 1972 to the present day. Thursday, 13 October 2016. Explosions at The Sage. So it's time for a bit post-rock at The Sage in Gateshead as Explosions in the Sky. Bring their Texan sounds to the North East. First up was a one-man band going under the name of Entrance. After a short break, spent fruitlessly trying to get a drink at the crowded bar, Explosions in the Sky. Although I really enjoyed the gig there were no highlights, no 'wow' m...

Prophets, Seers and Sages. A recollection of gigs I've attended from 1972 to the present day. Sunday, 12 April 2015. Not yet morons. wait for it! So it's off up to Glasgow to see the impressive Amaranthe. Their set the previous year was easily one of the best gigs of 2014. This time round they would be playing the O2 Academy on Sauchiehall Street. Any hows we arrrived in time to catch the last couple of songs from opening support band Santa Cruz. After a short break on came Amaranthe. The most impressive...

Prophets, Seers and Sages. A recollection of gigs I've attended from 1972 to the present day. Tuesday, 19 July 2016. Sunshine on Bents Park South Shields. With a line up that consisted of Beth Macari. And a day bathed in bright sunshine this promised to be a fun Sunday afternoon and all for FREE! After close to an hour we began the slow move towards the main gate eventually getting in to the park around 1.30, some 45 minutes later the gates were closed as the capacity of 24,000 was reached. Who we'd rece...

Prophets, Seers and Sages. A recollection of gigs I've attended from 1972 to the present day. Saturday, 23 April 2016. Sometimes it snows in April. I don't feel I can let 2016 go on any longer without commenting on the sad losses music has had to endure this year. Starting off with Bowie. In January, every few weeks it seems someones passed away. Glenn Frey. The tragic suicide of Keith Emerson. Theres been a couple of country stars too and now just a couple of days ago Prince. The output from Prince.

Prophets, Seers and Sages. A recollection of gigs I've attended from 1972 to the present day. Sunday, 31 January 2016. Bit of an apology here as it's been a while now since I updated this and I still have gigs from 1979 onwards to add! I'm going to jump forward to what was my last gig of 2015, Steven Wilson. At The Royal Albert Hall, London, Sept 29th. Supporting was Matt Berry. Of course what a near sell out crowd was waiting for was the main event and what a gig this was, featuring a setlist. Sitting n...

Prophets, Seers and Sages: November 2016
http://prophetsseersandsages.blogspot.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
Prophets, Seers and Sages. A recollection of gigs I've attended from 1972 to the present day. Monday, 14 November 2016. Eccentric Gateshead and an International Glasgow. Going back to a dark Sunday evening in October, it was off to The Prohibition Bar. To see Thomas Truax. I have to confess to having never heard of the guy, but it was coming as a highly recommended gig from my daughter Lani and seeing as how she had bought tickets for Sheelagh and I, how could we refuse! Onwards to the 12th November and ...

Prophets, Seers and Sages. A recollection of gigs I've attended from 1972 to the present day. Wednesday, 24 August 2016. Harvest from the Deep. So on the weekend of 13th and 14th August, North Shields showed just what can be done when you put your mind to it! Take note North Tyneside, this would have been a fabulous event to hold in the Dome. A two day festival celebrating local talent and finishing with headliners British Sea Power. More of that later. And The Lake Poets. Followed with a meandering song...

Locals, Lanterns on the Lake. Performing at The Sage with the Royal Northern Sinfonia. Before heading to the gig I was to be treated to a birthday meal at River Beat where the food was fabulous, being served in 2 separate platters of a sharing tapas. On to The Sage and first on stage was Ditte Elly. I've been going to...
