Kendal April 28th 2023 - Setlist

[fiddlesticks]

Thanks to the band and crew. Nice venue, but in the basement so a low ceiling. The band stormed it - Justin said that they were a bit rusty, but it didn't show. Big shout out too to Jess Silk who played her heart out in support.

Anyway... Set list.
Must have been similar to previous ones, because my predictive text was spookily accurate..

Frightened
Watch and Learn
States Radio
Never Arriving
Here Comes the War
Believe it
Spirit of the Falklands
Red Earth
Headlights
No Greater Love
Angry Planet
Born Feral
Before I get Old

The Hunt
Fate
Ballad of Bodmin Pill

125mph
Green and Grey

Great gig tbh. Justin seemed to like the venue. If the stage was elevated a bit I would too. Very difficult to watch from further back at the same level.
Great set and as you say, Jess Silk, who live local to me was superb. What a voice she has and great songs too.

I never get tired of reading NMA/JS fan-recollections, thoughts, stories, opinions, reviews, seeing photos, watching videos, etc.  On behalf of all of the people who pop-in to this forum to read, thank you.  Gratitude also, to everyone else here that attended NMA's Brewery Arts gig and (or) will attend NMA/JS&DW shows this year.  How lucky, fortunate and blessed are all of you NMA-related gig-goers living on the band's home turf.  sad lol, this is the only time it really sucks, living here, on the wrong side of the water / earth.

Currently unable to travel, I genuinely hope that at some point (universe-willing, within the next 2 or 3 years) NMA will return to the Americas in some form or other, even if it means just Mr. Sullivan doing a tour of some sort, on his sole own.  Something (or should I say someone) is better than nothing (no one), no NMA-related concert.

In the meantime, the biggest and most important thanks, goes out to NMA&co.  Thank you for allowing countless online video clips 'n things to remain, exist, be.  For many of us NMA fans (depending on where we reside in the world), these videos are all we've got --- aside from the obvious; albums, interviews, DVDs, articles.  They keep us far-away NMA fans connected, interested, going --- especially when we're not able to travel, attend NMA shows in person, ourselves.

To those who will be catching upcoming NMA/JS&DW/JS shows... please, pop in here to tell the rest of us (non-facebookers / non-twitterers) all about the concerts?

I'm praying things will pick up again, soon.  Times have been seriously challenging / rough for many, if not all of us.  For what it's worth, I hope today has been good to every one of you (reading this post), in the way that you hoped or needed it to be.

'Straight on for the days ahead...'
