3/4 of NewOrder on Friday (welcome back Gillian, get over yourself Hooky). Not quite the same as if all four were together, but better than Hooky's "Joy Division" and Peter Hook & The Light doing the first two NO albums this coming January:

Going to see Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, with guests Matt Andserson & Amy Helm next month. Very excited!

Election night, so I will spend it with the Mahones and Dropkick Murphys. Perfect.

I saw Lenny Henry tonight. He was bloody hilarious. His routine of a west highland terrier talking with the voice of Robert de Niro was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Great to see him back doing proper stand up.

And saw 'em last night here in Vancouver. A group where the label of "supergroup" truly applies - even tho Tom Wilson (ex of Junkhouse), Stephen Fearing, and Colin Linden are stars of the Canadian roots-music scene in their own right - and great live performers - the combination of the three (plus a rhythm section) makes a huge rocking noise bigger than any of it's constituent parts. Amazing show.

Their most recent album is "Kings & Queens", an album of duets, and a few of the Queens joined them on stage last night: Exene Cervenka (of punk band "X"), Amy Helm (Levon's daughter, of "Ollabelle"), and Kendel Carson on fiddle & vocals. Helm threatened to upstage them, but that was solved by bringing New-Brunswick blues singer/guitarist Matt Anderson out on stage who immediately stole the show with his head-banging barnstorming style. I've seen him live before, and he's always like that, but backed by this group took him to a whole other level entirely.

The boys rallied and closed the show with namesake Wille P. Bennett's "White Line" and rocked it out hard, bringing the spotlight back on themselves. But I think Amy Helm might have stolen it again during the encore when the whole ensemble backed her on Buddy Miller's "Wide River To Cross". Many of us had seen her sing it 18 months ago with her father Levon just around the corner, and I dare say there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Fabulous show, and my first ever at the Vogue Theatre, which is a lovely venue.

The Dreams, an Alman Brothers Band Tribute from Slovenia, were playing in our local pub last night. They are a bunch of great musicians and the concert was great!

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

You will have the bestest time. Trying not to send jealous vibes. Come on, Mr Cave, we need a Seeds tour over here please.

I think we've just scored tickets for Mr Springsteen at Wembley. As ever, waiting for confirmation plays havoc with the old nerves.

Ah you just reminded me, they're scheduled to play the Liverpool Olympia just ten minutes walk from my house. I wonder if I could persuade Jake to go.

Just booked. Standing tickets sold out already so we're in the lower balcony. Jake says that's my Christmas present.

Scored me a ticket to the 12/12/12 show tomorrow at The Garden. Any chance of a "special guest appearence" by The Pogues?!?

If you have any affinity at all for hip hop and bawdy quirky humor, then do by all means go to see Reggie Watts if you can. He has massive talent.

Tonight, as part of the lantern festival (solstice celebration) I saw the "Roma Swing Trio", which is Romanian musical legend Lache Cercel on violin, Dan Olgilve on guitar, and Sam Shoichet on bass.

I can't begin to tell you how good they are, but the crazy thing is this was happening at my public place if work, so I was being paid to watch them play.

Sometimes it all works out....
