Guy Garvey

Dibble

Just got my tickets for Guy Garvey in the Olympia (Dec 7th).

Should be an amazing gig

furryvision

it better be amazing, thought it seemed a bit pricey @ €50.. have to assume he has more planned than to just play 12 songs from his debut album

Dibble

Yeah, I agree. Too expensive @ 50 euro.

Should be a good mix of solo stuff and Elbow material on the night though.

Sheog

It is pricey alright.. at the same time though, it's a great opportunity to see him perform in a small venue. Guy Garvey is a master performer. Love how he charms the crowd no matter how big or small.

I just picked up standing tickets for it. Tis an expensive month for gigs!!

Dibble

I hear you Sheog.

Electric Picnic, U2, Muse and now Guy Garvey all in the one month. :eek:

ooooh, didnt know about this one at all, tickets now booked.
should be an interesting contrast to Def Leppard/Whitesnake the night before

steve mason supporting, delighted with that. €50 for both of them easily worth it

Guaranteed to be playing Other Voices the weekend before it
*I say guaranteed, I mean possibly

scruff monkey

anyone else make it to this, lovely performance

feel sorry for that poor rabbit though

Was at this myself. Really enjoyed it. He didn't play any Elbow songs but I wasn't expecting it. He seemed to enjoyed it himself as well.

Dibble

Yeah, really enjoyed last night. Garvey has such a natural way with the audience. Plenty of funny stories, banter and cracking tunes.

Ahh- was gonna go to this as I like the new Guy Garvey album. Didn't get around to it. But now I'm really p*ssed off I missed this- big Beta Band fan & have seen Steve Mason a couple of times (Electric Picnic to c.40 people), have been waiting for him to return to Ireland for some time.:(

Thought the gig was pretty decent. Could not believe the fact that, having paid €50 for a bloody ticket, he played 'Angela's Eyes' twice. Ridiculous.

furryvision

i'd agree with that mosstin. for €50, there was too much filler... it was a good gig, but he was totally scrambling to fill an hour and a half.
Went to see Leon Bridges in olympia a few months back, he also has 1 album and and a huge backing band...it was half the price, put it a bit in perspective for me.

Shame really. For a man with such an interest and love of music and to be surrounded with so many talented musicians, I thought he could have tried so many covers which I was really looking forward to. He's a big Talk Talk fan - would have been amazing last night.

I was there and loved it. I was hoping for a couple of Elbow tracks as he played Switching Off and Great Expectations at his previous gigs. But that was probably only because The Plumedores (with Mark Potter) were doing support and could join him on stage.

I really enjoyed Peter Jobson's couple of tracks. I am Kloot's bassist effortlessly does lead guitar and does some brilliant intermission tracks.

Steve Mason any good?

roll

Of course!!! Just him and an amplified accoustic guitar.
Album out in February.
Think he did seven songs... 2 boys outside, 2 monkey madness, 2 new and 1 beta band (correct me if i'mn wrong!)
we were in the circle and there were a good few there for him, including ann enright of all people! top woman!!
