So, so good. New album out tomorrow (or midnight tonight if you're awake).

Anyone heard President?

Secret identity band with 2 singles so far.

EDIT: Dropped a spoiler to cover the identity

 

Undoubtedly Charlie Simpson.

Feels very weird to read about something I've been listening to for ages picked up in this way, great to see though:

'It's hard not to be blown away': The 70s rock band putting 'Zamrock' back on the map, 50 years on

Blending the style of The Rolling Stones with African beats and instruments, Zambian group Witch were revolutionary – then disappeared. No one could have predicted their return.

Yeah, clocked who it was within the first couple of words (also got him immediately when he was on Masked Singer ) - his voice is so distinctive.

I absolutely loved Fightstar's first couple of albums. Can't say I'm feeling President too much.

Yeah I'm not that into it. Just happy for him, as I'm a bit of a fanboi. (Mainly Fightstar, but him in general. My mate slightly more so - he is on his Patreon and has sent some quality cover versions and a few updated Fightstar songs too)

Never quite got Razorlight first time around.
Have now seen them twice as a support act. Have to say that combining both shows, they've been impressive as a live act. The crowds I have observed lapped them up, and a fair few singalongs occurred.

The Razorlight: Fall To Pieces documentary on Amazon Prime is an interesting watch.

Spent most of today off social media due to all the reminders about Jota everywhere.
Just been online and seen Oasis have showed Diogo on screen during Live Forever

Oasis were superb at Heaton Park last night, people were in great spirits and the weather was glorious.

80k of people singing almost none stop for two hours was magnificent.

Richard Ashcroft was also really good, mostly verve tracks and got the crowd nicely warmed up, Cast were fine but started early and we'd all had various transport issues so missed half of their set.

Been having a load of videos show up in my feeds of people gathering outside the park watching/listening to it. There was one guy live streaming it from the top of the slide in the park's play area last night!

Went to see ELO in Birmingham last week. Excellent concert although Jeff Lynne looking very frail.
A concert in Manchester was then cancelled this week.
I hope he gets well soon. Boy, that man can write some catchy tunes.

Up there with Lennon and McCartney, Jagger and Richard for me.
