Re: Xmas gig HORROR!

What are 'planes shows like nowadays?  Old songs?  Wojtek?  I've not
seen them for 13 years.  Have already bought tickets, mind.

For those travelling from out of town, a 2 day stop in Bristol with
Robyn 
Hitchcock on the Thursday and the Planes (NOT The Fall) on the Friday
would 
be a great trip.

The Fall, are even more notoriously uneven in live performance than
Badly 
Drawn Boy or Van Morrison.  I'm not a huge fan anyway, and was going to
say 
that they have a great future behind them, but then realised that the
same 
could possibly be said for that evening's competition.....

The Bierkeller isn't a great venue - very low ceiling, odd shape - but

nevertheless has hosted some of the best gigs I've ever seen.  Those
that 
immediately spring to mind: Mr Hitchcock again with The Egyptians in
around 
1987 or so, The Levellers in 1991, and the best gig I've ever been to:
The 
Richard Thompson Band in November 1988.  That Thompson gig was odd as
Billy 
Bragg was playing the same night at the Colston Hall (with Michelle
Shocked 
as support), so there must have been loads of other people who, like
me, 
were torn about which one to go to.  Amazingly both gigs still sold out
and 
both showed up in Venue's best gigs of the year poll a month or two
later.

This time Hitchcock is playing at the Fleece, which is a really great
venue 
- the best in Bristol IMO.  I've seen him there several times, and 
elsewhere, and he's always brilliant live.  Can't recommend highly
enough.  
I'm pretty sure Gerard is a fan.  In fact I have a vague recollection
that 
he actually reviewed one of RH's previous visits to the Fleece in
(Bristol's 
What's On magazine) Venue.

I'll be at both.

None whatsoever. The Fall always come on late.

I still don't honestly know what I'm gonna doooo....

At least Robyn Hitchcock is the night before. But you know what'll
happen
now - that'll move to the 3rd, so I'll have to choose between The
Fall,
Robyn and the Aeros!!!

Hurry up with this cloning business!
