Our last show on this run of dates. ☹️ Left me feeling very happy 🙂 but sad not knowing when we’ll see them again. 😕 Veterans my arse. Still a band at the peak of their powers and righteously concerned about the state of your prostrate. #fuckingrockandrollbaby

I’ll leave it to the set list meister to fill out the details once he returns from Cork, but this was a fun show, with Tweedy in jovial form. The student Union venue lent itself to a ‘rock block’ finish, even though there were no students and most of the audience seemed to be pensioners. Or farmers waiting for a cattle auction to begin, going on the reactions next to me. 😬 Did I get the listing title right Paul??

I’ve not heard ‘sassenach’ used for years, and it’s not exclusively Glaswegian. Nice to meet you, albeit briefly, too! (But sorry, I’ll never be a ‘Brit’) 😁

SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNND ! In all honesty, I've seen them play better, have better sound, better set lists and (much) better banter. But what a very special night. We did them proud.

Strictly speaking they did play two different sets. The word that was missing was ‘completely’ 😬

I have applied for a refund under the British trade’s description act. I was promised two different shows and only got one and a half. But HELL IS CHROME FFS!! So I’m happy.

Pah! Not the show as I remember it. Then again I was up to 4am drinking Utrechtian brewed Russian Imperial Stout!

LOL - you can see what he's thinking - 'this band is OK, but...'

You're banned in Scotland!

OMG the thought of you actually driving this side of the pond should have been made aware to the Spanish authorities!

It'll be horse betting next, then dogs, then the slippery slope into craft beer...

WHIT!!! How very dare they! I’m awa tae burn all my tickets for the summer shows!

He's the King of Queues, the Prince of Waits*, the Earl of Linger, the Duke of AirMiles, the Governor of Loyalty Points, the Chief Oratory Officer and Nos Correspondante to the Southern Hemisphere and exiled Brazilians. (Not a euphemism). (*Doesn't include Tom Waits)

Such is the power of social media - the immediacy of reporting the minute after the band leaves the stage, the instantaneous catalogue of set lists and then... the five day wait to hear back from nos correspondante on how his travel home was screwed up by cancellations, delays, bad weather and bad service. #promisespromises Personally I can't wait.

OH - we don’t talk about ‘them’…. 😬
