I've seen them three times in the UK on this tour (Hackney eARTh, Norwich UEA and London Palladium) and although a support hasn't been billed it's always been Trevor, the end-of-the-pier organist from Blackpool. Trevor's a fine keyboardist, but a bit of an acquired taste. Sadly, I've yet to acquire ...

Well - there's quite a gap in Damon's forthcoming schedule. The last TGTB&TQ gig is on 18 August. After that the next known Damon commitment is the first 'The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows' event in Paris on 24 May 2020. Say rehearsals knock out April and May 2020, that leaves 10 m...

Graham has just tweeted that he'll be playing the 100 Club with the Jaded Hearts (including Miles Kane) on 3 June
sadly I'll be away and not able to go

and of course we nearly had Bowie/gorillaz...

Website: http://cfmu.ca/posts/245-from-the-vaults-e10-blur YouTube: https://youtu.be/iTFCicTUkLE Just stumbled on this. Parklife era I think. It's really really really funny cuz both the article on the website and the description on YouTube said it's Damon while it's actually Dave. hmmm - they both...

thanks - definitely worth a listen ...
... taxidermy - who knew

Just listening through my videos of TGTB&TQ at the London Palladium the other night and marveling again at the tightness of the band and Damon's top notch singing... ... and I thought - wouldn't Sister Rust make a great TGTB&TQ live song :) :) You'd get Tony's scattering beats, Simon's shimmering gu...

Is there a demo version of Death of a party from 92? Yes. From memory it's just Graham on an acoustic guitar with Damon singing. http://www.vblurpage.com/discography/fanclub/death.htm just had a listen after a long while - my version of the demo has the bass coming in half way through together with...

OK - here are my video highlights from the Palladium last night... Lady Boston with the Penrhyn Male Voice Choir on backing vocals :) https://vimeo.com/331578642 The Poison Tree again featuring the choir plus a completely new intro - a new little song tacked on to the beginning - Damon's brexit upda...

Yeah - was an excellent performance. My sister and I met aldamasta for a couple of drinks beforehand - we thought we'd give Trevor a miss this time ;) . I thought we'd only be a few rows back from aldamasta but it turned out we were a few rows back plus five storeys up - in the grand circle :roll: S...

Manchester last night was insane, met Damon afterwards and chatted about psychedelics

He's very open and chatty on this tour isn't he? I wonder if anyone will talk to him about what's next for blur? I have to say I didn't - thought it was a bit rude in the middle of a GBQ phase...

the choir - woo - I'll be there!

and here are some videos - all the songs from the first album they performed at UEA Norwich, plus Merrie Land with aldamasta on backing vocals

^^ that's right - Northern Whale is missing. I managed to speak to Paul after the Norwich show - I said NW was one of my favourites and he said that I wasn't the only one routing for it! They have rehearsed it and he very much hoped it would get into the setlist for the Palladium this Friday. Here's...
