I’m keeping an eye out for the Alan Dixon night especially
 
Went to the Back to Love thing at Finsbury Park on Saturday- musically, usually my sort of thing (sorry….), however…

-The sets were all over the shop, up and down and no real rythmn, rhyme or reason
-The crowd was ridiculously young, a good 80% of the punters were young enough to be my kids
- It was run by Krankbrother and I was assured there would be alcohol free beer at the bars, and lockers inside the venue. Surprise surprise, neither existed and I looked like I had just slapped the face of the grandma of anyone that I asked about it
- The sound was bloody awful
- No urinals
- The stage was at the end of a roadway that had the most enormous dips on either side, so you couldn’t stand straight, even if you were sober
- Mud mud mud
- The afters were 45 minutes away, and opened up at midnight after the festival finished at 10

Yeah, wasn’t great……

One other thing on this, the security was VERY lax- no searches at all apart from a quick glance in bags. If you were a nutter who carries a blade around, you’d have had no problem taking it in there. Quite a few chaps doing some good business in there as well from the amount of times I was offered purchases by different people.

Maybe I’m just getting on a bit, but I don’t know if I can be arsed with this bollocks any more. Someone wake me up when they do exclusively over 30s parties that have places to sit and a choice of gins!
 
Last weekend was chilled, my partner took us away for the weekend. Stayed in an Airbnb outside of Portsmouth with the dog. Dog walks, couple of pubs.

Quite excited for this upcoming weekend. Off to see a live orchestral rendition of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bell with my dad on Friday, then off to Peach with 2 of my best friends. We've not been out together since before the pandemic so I expect a sore head on Sunday!
