It’s Brennig’s turn now and the focus has turned to music and books.
1. Who’s your favourite band/group?
Arg! A horribly difficult one for me. I don’t really have a favourite per se. I have favouriteS, plural. Where do I start? Barenaked Ladies, Kellie Pickler (unfortunate name), Take That (both old and young), Dolly Parton, the Rat Pack, Bach, Mozart, the Wurzels. Seriously. I love all of them
2. What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to? What’s the most recent gig you’ve been to?
And here I come clean.
[whisper] I’ve never been to a gig [/whisper]
I don’t know why. It’s never really occurred to me to go to one. Does that make me weird?
3. What’s the most recent book you’ve read?
At present, I’m trawling through the last Harry Potter. I re-read Half Blood Prince the other day – I couldn’t afford to go to the cinema so I read instead. Yes, I know, I’m a saddo. Once I get my bookcases sorted in the flat, it’ll be a lot easier – I’ll be able to *see* my books instead of the current lucky-dip-what-the-hells-in-this-box thing I do at the moment.
I told someone the other day that I hadn’t went to a gig until I was 23 (and not been to many since) and she seemed to find this weird, so I know how you feel!
At least you’ve been out there and tried it!
Friday 28th August, Quadrophobe and Avipaul in Witney, Oxfordshire. Two top bands. I can get you on the guest list.
Or Thursday 3rd September, The Family Machine and inLight (two future Platinum-selling album artists) at The Jericho Tavern, Oxford. £3/head in advance.
Come and join us?
Oh dear. I missed them
I think if I ever went to a concert it’d be for something desperately sad. Like Girls Aloud.
Do you know what? I’m 30 and the only gigs I’ve ever been to have been a friend singing in a pub and my best friend’s dad playing guitar. I’m sad too.
No, no. We’re the cool ones.
Really.
I know this will sound terribly clichéd, but you just cannot beat live music. Try it!
*grumble* I remember when all we had were 78s *grumble*
(or something)
Agreed. Live music is such a great buzz. I was never allowed go to concerts as a teenager but I’m making up for it now – next two planned are Tom Jones & Depeche Mode – woooohooo!!
Now Tom Jones I’d be up for.
He’s a leg end.
