SPARKS

Welcome Becky. Nice to see another Sparks fan in Devon.

It wasn't a Sparks Show, but it was the next best thing.
It was incredibly hot at the front, but thanks to the staff who handed out water.
Teleman, the support band, were really enjoyable. Reminded ...

Wow. I do believe tonight was why the internet was invented. Tomorrow night will be incredible.

Thank you Terry Welch. Will be going to the Troxy on Monday, travelling from Devon.

A friend has sent to me an image of a newspaper cutting showing "Half Nelson" playing on the same bill as Alice Cooper in November 1970. Anybody else got any info on this? I assume it must b ...

I picked up a few extra copies of the free programme that were available at the shows. It's just a folded piece of A4 card with short essays on Sparks and the orchestra. PM me if you'd like one posted ...

Just bought 3 circle tickets from Seetickets as I was unable to get them from the Barbican website.
I think I'm further back than I've ever been at a Sparks show!

I was downstairs first night and upstairs at the very back, looking at the stage to the left. The sound was absolutely fine where I was sitting. On an earlier thread, someone was at the side and said ...

Sounds great, Ally. I've never been to a gig in Glasgow, though was at the show in Edinburgh last year.

Such a difference to the Union Chapel show and, thankfully, just as enjoyable. As we were standing up, there was a lot more jigging about, singing and general audience calling out - or at least from t ...

Stunning and thoroughly enjoyable as usual.
It was great to hear some new songs compared with the THOM set last year. Russell's voice just amazes every time.
The venue was spectacular for me from a ...

That appears to be 3.50am UK time.
Set your alarms!

Retroman - really enjoyed your review.

A man behind me claimed to be from Record Collector so expect a review some time soon.

And even from the back row of the balcony, the sound was fab. Continue to be amazed at Russell's vocal skills!

Agree with the comment about Russell's vocals. Totally made the night for me and eleva ...

They were definitely on sale at Edinburgh.

Just back from the great show in Edinburgh. It was lovely to pick up a copy of The Scotsman the morning after over breakfast and read a review of the show. I did take a photo of the review by David Po ...

Our Tune by Half Man Half Biscuit, Peel Session recording.
10/10.

You said you’d found me helpless on the A47
Shouting at the passers by that Alan Brazil
Seems to be the singer in the Go ...

I went with trepidation as I thought maybe my love for the music was on the wane. But from the moment Ron started his overture, I knew I was going to really enjoy my 30-oddth Sparks concert.
I partic ...
