TROSaracen Oct 2022 11:59pm, 15 Oct 2022 25,787 posts	0 TROSaracen Just got back Linds, I’m absolutely blown away by what I’ve heard. Extraordinary. Never seen so many people walking out going just wow. I love those songs, but it was incredible what extra layers of sound the conductor could wring from them armed with a full orchestra, and they rotated 3 different vocalists who all provided their own interpretation of Ian’s words in their own differing styles. One of the vocalists was a 17 year old girl introduced as doing her ‘second ever professional gig’ (the first was the same show yesterday in Manchester, and jaws were dropping everywhere when she sang. I’ll be keeping tabs on her, I’d love to hear her sing again. It was a bit of a 😭fest at times, and I feel pretty spent now, but that was so very special. If anyone has any affinity for Joy Division’s music and they do the orchestrated show (nb not just Peter Hook and Light) then just go. You won’t regret it.

TROSaracen Oct 2022 2:30pm, 18 Oct 2022 25,801 posts	0 TROSaracen I seem to have caught the live music big properly again. 93Million Miles from the Sun, Sheffield, November and Emily Jane White, London, December. Both will be logistically challenging but I’ve wanted to see them for a long time so will find a way. Both will be small intimate shows and £8.50 for one and £15.50 for the other, incl booking fee. Happy days!

Mandymoo Nov 2022 10:50am, 6 Nov 2022 15,460 posts	0 Mandymoo Was at the 02 last night - the Sherlocks, The Fratellis and Kaiser Cheifs The Sherlocks were great, Fratellis were phenomenal and the Kaiser Cheifs (who have seen several times) were dire. Ricky was not right, not sure whether drink, drugs or health, but could hardly stand, couldn't sing and kept forgetting words. We left after half an hour - never done that before. Lots of comments all over social media and so uncomfortable to watch. I really hope they release a statement as to what was happening as he should never have been allowed on stage
