The Music Thread

I wasn’t, until I saw him live with the E Street band and I can say he’s one of the best I’ve seen. I can’t wait for him to tour over here again, even if I have to go to the Etihad!

Heard his gigs are immense but I couldn’t attend what would probably be a 5 hour slog!

He really gives his fans a great time though. I’m in the minority on this one I know!

Give me Paul Heaton any day!

If we’re going to look at English artists as well there’s always Joe Cocker, he blows a lot out of the water, no?

Not sure you are, then what do I know? :smiley:

Bruce did 3hrs without a break. The band had a breather while he did a solo.

There’s value for money and then there’s Bruce! His gigs go on for days.

Some great British artists over the years. Housemartins / Beautiful South, Deacon Blue, Big Country, Spandau Ballet, Ash, The Smiths Garbage, Stereophonics, Catatonia, The Manics, Chemical Brothers are all top drawer.

That’s not even touching on The Beatles, The Stones, T Rex, George Michael, Queen, Blur, Oasis, Stone Roses.

Some quality there.

You missed out Echo and The Bunnymen :wink: … and load load more.
Personally for me British and Irish music blows the rest out the water, listening to the Undertones at the moment. :+1:

The Undies are still touring. I saw them a couple of years ago and they were great. The new singer’s better than Feargal imo.

Surely Fergal was the character of the band but I’ll have to go further into my listening to really judge on your comment. :smiley:

The O’Neill brothers are the songwriters.

And The Cure too!

Your undies can probably stand on their own.

Hardly a household name, but Bill Hinsche of Dino, Desi & Billy has died at 70. He was a Filipino-American in a band with Dean Martin, Jr. and Desi Arnaz Jr. in the 60s. Later, he toured extensively with the beach boys. Dean Martin, Jr. died in 1987 in an Air National Guard training accident.
