Cardiacs gig at the Astoria is this coming Friday (their tour starts in Brighton on Monday) - should be a few Gatherers at London gig - Blockheads is just before Christmas and I can't wait - only ever saw them live once with Ian Dury and I think it was the first Madness reunion weekend in Finsbury Park (1992?) - saw Jel today, he's been a bit busy what with young Freya and Tomas to contend with - but he didn't quite seem his normal self, mind you, hot on the heels of Raven's sad departure, I later found out that one of Jel's best mates died in the recent Heathrow T5 accident < http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7065864.stm > the guy was also in his mid 40's and Jel is going to his funeral tomorrow - kinda puts it all into perspective - Regards, Antoni

Loads of tickets on Ebay going cheap for Sex Pistols at Brixton for Mon and Wed but the catch is that the tube station shuts at 22:10 (Mon-Thu) due to planned works. The old replacement bus service doesn't sound too appealing on the way home. Glad that I managed to catch them at the Shepherds Bush Empire in 1996, otherwise I would have seriously gone for the Friday night gig. Managed to catch both Buzzcocks and The Damned a few times over the past decade so will give them a miss this time (caught The Damned in a 200 capacity Welwyn Garden City pub back in April 2007 - excellent of course) - have though sorted out a real blinder today, big Phill Jupitus guesting with The Blockheads < http://www.theblockheads.com/index.php > on their 30th anniversary tour on my birthday !!!
