Any good rock bands playing 9th or 16th May?

Josie G · 04-05-2009, 14:21

It's my OH's 55th birthday on Wed 13 May. I'd like to treat him to a good rock gig - does anyone know any good bands playing on either 9th or 16th May?

Moosey · 04-05-2009, 14:24

We're playing plug on 9th May. We're rock.

THere are 5 bands playing I think, all rock.

Josie G · 04-05-2009, 14:31

Where are you playing and do I need tickets in advance or is it just turn up?

Moosey · 04-05-2009, 14:33

Lets see if I can make this work....

Linky?

It worked!!! Should be all the details there for you - can pay on the door if you like, and its at Plug, which is kind of near the moor, near that big Currys/Comet/Dixons on the roundabout (that probably makes no sense at all!

)

This May Not Be Relevant But I Know That Green Day Are Playing The Sheffield Arena On The 26th October

Sorry Moosey - being a bit dim! Missed Plug bit. Are you any good?? Be honest. Other thing is, we've never been to Plug - would we be too old (on the outside anyway). We go to Corp sometimes. What do you think?
I'm 50 next and OH will be (nearly) 55.

Moosey · 04-05-2009, 14:47

I think we're good, but then I'm bound to be biased I suppose.

I'd imagine with there being a good few bands, you'll find something you'll like.

You'll not be the only one over 40 by the way, I'm sure of that. I'm heading that way with worrying speed!

Thanks - bit late for his birthday, but 26th is our anniversary (of meeting), we're not married! It'll be 7 years...

We have an awesome rock covers band called Piston Broke playing on 16th May, it's mentholmans@west st live next to the job centre on west st, free entry, first set starts at 9.30pm

Josie G · 04-05-2009, 15:55

Hi Jared, who do you cover?

Cheers - that sounds about up our street. Are you going? Might see you there. I'll be the old codger leaping about at the front (until I fall down anyway!!) Still, if you can't make a fool of yourself at my age, when can you??

I will probably be there.
I know this band have played a lot of bike rallys and shows etc and have always had good reviews.

Jared · 04-05-2009, 21:40

Piston Broke's lead guitarist Shane is rated as one of the best classic rock covers guitarists in the region! :-)

Josie G · 05-05-2009, 11:28

Thanks. Well I really fancy it and think my man will be into it, but its his birthday not mine so its up to him. We've seen a few bands at West St Live and have usually been good.
Could do Corp after - if its not raining - I smoke!!

Jared · 05-05-2009, 13:13

isn't the smoking area at corp partially sheltered?

Yep, its actually the loading bay for deliveries

It may be an idea to get a few cheap umbrellas for the women who want to go out for a fag.....think the 99p shop on angel street has loads.

Josie G · 05-05-2009, 13:58

I'm also really nesh!!

We turned up with a load of friends and there weren't ANY bands on!! We still had a great night though - went to Corp.
