They are consistently ace, anyone else at the Empress gig in 1990 with New Fads supporting?

One of the best gigs I’ve ever been to Lytham.
what a night that was!
Fads were epic mainly because AP couldn’t sing at the best of times so it was all about the music

Yep. Very hot. I was dripping by the end. Saw them again nearly 20 years later. Just as good although I had moved further to the back by that point.

I've seen them many, many times over the years and will be seeing them again in September at Lancaster with the Lightening Seeds and again in Scarborough with the Happy Mondays. They are consistently very good live and still turn out new stuff that is right up there with some of their best tracks over the last 35 years. If you have never seen them live, go on, treat yerself!

I have gone a bit nuts this year and booked Lancaster, Scarborough and Birmingham. Knowing James, each gig will be different. That is the beauty of seeing a band with such a huge brilliant catalogue. You see Stone Roses and know exactly what is coming, every James gig is a mystery song wise. PM if you fancy meeting up for a gig pint!I've seen them many, many times over the years and will be seeing them again in September at Lancaster with the Lightening Seeds and again in Scarborough with the Happy Mondays.

Not my cup of tea but over the years i have heard so many good reviews about their concerts. Everybody raves about them live.

Always liked them - shocked to see Tim Booth is in his 60's now - then had to remind myself I'm nearer 50 than 40 tomorrow

Bands are always older than they appear in the mirror...
What was your background then Junior? If you’re 45 tomorrow then our paths may have crossed years ago.

Dodgy background
46 tomorrow unfortunately, counted 45 as being able to round up or down.Started school life at Larkholme primary, then moved abroad, came back, ended up at Carr Hill High School before moving abroad again, then back to Preston College and have lived around Preston pretty much since then.

Our paths definitely crossed then. You’d be in the same year at Larkholme as Chris Beech, Ali Baker, Chris Elliott, Jamie Poole, Andy Marham, Steve Rial, Steve Moore etc. I was year below.
