Funnily enough, I went to see Elvis Costello when he was at The Sage and he said he loved coming to Newcastle so I assume he must have been lying to please the shady Tyneside cabal. If not, he’d have been blacklisted from future venues 

 

You've been rumbled.

The Sage is in Gateshead marra.

Why would this so called "Elvis" say he loved playing in Newcastle when he was playing in County Durham, SUNDERLAND marra??!!?

FTM.

Don't know about you lot, but there's nowt I like more than joining in a massive singalong of the Blaydon Races whilst I wait for an encore. Why aye!

I was at most, if not all, Big Country gigs at the City Hall and I have zero recollection of the supposed "shut up" I do recall him shouting Dunfermilino though in response to a toon chant at one gig. Perhaps with my age I forget or perhaps the mackem is a lying cunt.

 

Similarly I have never been at a gig where Blaydon races was sang, howay the lads was a standard pre encore chant though, I recall Blackfoot (Rickey Medlock of Skynyrds band) being given the howay the lads treatment, coming back on stage and jamming to it and it ended up on their live EP/Album 😂

Did you see Big Country at Whitley Bay Ice Rink?  

 

No missed that one for some reason, can't recall why.

 

Edit - first time I saw them was at the Mayfair in 87, Ice Rink was 86.

It's Mackem lies like that one about Stuart Adamson that mean I'd have no qualms about building a wall around their stinking shit hole and flooding the resulting tank with hydroflouric acid,

I think they played the Mayfair earlier (possibly as well)  in 83 or 84,

Was sent this link via WhatsApp, I quite like this region of Cyprus but imagine running into these? :lol:

she looks very much like the trafalgar square fountain shitter, her chap looks like he's getting ready to curl one out on the patio.

The lad next to them in the blue has just beaten him to it.

Saw a group of lasses in Berwick with one lad who I assumed were getting the train down for the Sam Fender concert as one of the lasses was wearing a NUFC shirt. Nobody applauded though so it was a sombre sight and I'm sure any onlookers were secretly disapproving whilst admiring the Sunderland shirt which nobody wore.

Cos we're not classy and popular like the mackems it's up to us to applaud mate. I'm off to the gig later and I expect to be exhausted the amount of applauding I'll be doing. 👍
