thanks for posting...it was a cracker

[Master Ray]

Damn, what a set-list, I'm SO jealous!

SFAFOG... bloody love that tune.  One of my favourite NMA tunes ever.  Hopefully hear it in Nottingham on the 13th?  I'd love to hear a full-on band version of it...

One of my favourite tracks and never heard it live before!
Very good night!!

Great venue, great company, the great man with just his trusy Lowden for accompaniment and Ellen C as (nice) surprise support, what more could ya ask for - oh yeah, five pints of Thatchers rounded the evening off very well.  Only gripe is that Kiddie seems to shut down Completely after hours, and the curry house up the road wouldn't stay open to serve to serve nine of us. Clearly they must be raking it in already...

What is the 3rd song on the setlist Hold On? Think they played this in Hebden Bridge also, but I don't know it. Can anybody shed a bit of light on this for me.

[Amandistan]

I am pretty sure Hold On is a new song never realeased on any album. It was also played at Hebden Bridge.  It probably is the song that you are thinking of.

I have to say the spoken NMA songs were very powerful. He played Sentry and that was a wonderful moment. Tommorow came works excellent in acoustic form.

Ellen Cox was wonderful too and very nice as well.


Basically Justin is amazingly talented with or without a band.

I failed to mention that All Consuming fire was one the best moments of the night.

What is the 3rd song on the setlist Hold On?

Think it is new, certainly not heard it before - it's beautiful.

I was away with the faeries from the first chords of One Bullet  But the sing along Family Life was a bit special along with All Consuming Fire, Changing Of The Light........ well, all of it really.

Brilliant night, lovely people, lovely place - and the landlady got the Setlist to add to her Gallery

Yeah a new song for sure, very atmospheric.

Glad to hear Hebden Bridge was chat free but one thing I did mean to post following  Friday is: How the hell can anyone who came to the Boars Head have wanted to talk through the performance? I mean its JS's first solo gig in 20 years. So it seems a fair assumption that only those who really wanted to be there for a pretty special night and to actually listen would've turned up.

The people that started talking midway through the set would really need to explain to 98 per cent of us what it's all about, didn't they have enough time pre and post gig for that in the bar?

Or next time why not go to a bar somewhere else? Unbelievable.

[Hughie]

I politely spoke to one couple early on (between songs!) and said maybe they thought they were talking quietly but they really weren't.  They were polite in return and did actually go into the bar.  The connecting door to the bar was then propped open for a while which led to noise intrusion but then someone helpfully closed it again.

Then a group down the left (as you look at the stage) started up and it seemed difficult to get them to shut up for any length of time, despite several attempts by JS (each greeted by loud cheers in support).  I can't understand it, unless it was a group with only one or two actual fans who had got others to come along that weren't that bothered or something (pure speculation, I've no idea who they were).  Even then they must be pretty thick skinned or ignorant to seemingly not care that they were disrupting a very small and intimate gig for everyone else, including the singer. 

The order in Hebden Bridge was a lot better, bar a few who couldn't quite manage to keep it up for the entire gig, especially the stompers and "singers" who joined in with G&G despite a specific request from JS not to immediately before the song when the acoustics weren't ideal as it was.

Overall though both were great nights and it was great to hear some less aired songs and different versions of several others.  Thanks to all involved in putting on the shows.

Basically most of the audience at both acoustic gigs were very respectful but a few were not. The one's in Kidderminster would probably have been better off going to another bar and speak loudly there.

[Anna Woman von NRW]

The noise thing is, quite frankly bloody annoying. I'm sure we've all had one too many Shandys on a night out and got a bit over-excitable but I don't think that's the reason. Some people just don't give a monkeys and have a somewhat inflated sense of their own importance. Regardless of how ignorant you must be not to pick up on the fact that 100 odd people are getting really pissed off with you, you'd have thought that having the musician on stage directly tell you to shut the **** up or go to another bar would do the job. Thinking on that it strikes me as quite sad that someone can't see beyond their own skin enough to see the art right in front of their face. that's a crap life innit?

Still, afterwards Cromwell did manage to take out a certain loud chap with big hair via a deft combination of tail & lead

Don't get me started.  I still remember the 30th gigs, Nottingham on the Saturday, the acoustic set... there were a few (expletives deleted) not just talking, but shouting and laughing loudly and talking utter bollocks that had nothing to do with NMA, so loudly that I couldn't hear the music... now you don't walk into an NMA gig by mistake and Nott RC is a big place, there are other rooms you could go to talk in if the acoustic stuff isn't your thing... a few people tried to politely complain, to no avail... I'm surprised it didn't kick off.

The odd thing is, I brought it up at the time on this Forum and someone actually tried to defend those arrogant buggers!

P1sses me right off, and while you're right Master Ray there were a deal more people at the 30th gatherings, the fact this was such an unusual event with a highly limited audience is what gets me. It was all very respectful for the first three or four songs then the yapping started, think maybe it's time to set up a Talking During Songs Militia to sort em out and ensure due reverence on acoustic occasions ;-)
