I'm looking forward massively to this, and it will be first NMA gig since I emigrated from the UK in 2010.

The last concert I saw was the Blues/Rock band Larkin Poe in Paris, at the end of January, a showcase at the Fnac store for the release of their new album "Bloom"... a very nice moment, it was the singer's birthday so I gave her NMA and Justin cds at the new album signing session  ;D:  8)

So, any of you lot got any gigs coming up?

If I have enough money in June I will go see a friend of Larkin Poe,  Samantha Fish, in France, in Paris (or maybe Lyon). She is a  talented songwriter, just listen to her bluesy guitar and voice in "Sweet southern sounds", the first song released from her new album:

and "Daughters" from her very good BELLE OF THE WEST album : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE9fjWC9pZo

Before June and Samantha Fish in Paris/Lyon I will probably go see these bands in my small hometown of Normandie:

Tramhaus
Winter Family
Dirty Deep
Cucamaras
Dominique A

Also probably the cool music town festival "ça sonne à la porte", with bands from the area but also from others cities and countries:

Skunk Anansie in Leeds, April.  One of the very best live bands I've ever seen.

I've seen them in my town Rock Festival (where NMA played in 1995, incredible!!), in 2011,  and they were so good!! Skin is charismatic, another superb, underrated voice!

Seeing Fish (ex-Marillion singer) tomorrow at Manchester Albert Hall, his retirement tour, really looking forward to it, big fan since his Marillion days, his solo output has been spotty but often great, it'll be a bit of an emotional 'end of an era' thing for me.

Inspiral Carpets, Stoke, next month.

Skunk Anansie in Leeds, April.  One of the very best live bands I've ever seen.

Hoping to see Sisters Of Mercy in London, May, let's see how the cash goes.

Now, wasn't there a thread previously about how 'Green And Grey' was somehow about Billy Idol?  I somewhat poo-pooed the idea but seeing as I'd never put the two acts together then perhaps there was something in it?   :o

And isn't Nelson's bass on "Vanity" sounds a bit like the bass on "White Wedding" ?:
