No-one seems to have started a thread so here goes!

Lewis Capaldi is on at the moment, good to see him performing after his health challenges last year. DGD had booked to see him but he cancelled because he was unwell.
He's so much more enjoyable to listen than today's rappers!

I'm looking forward to seeing The Searchers. 🙂

It’s great to hear Lewis Capaldi is back performing — he always manages to connect so warmly with the audience. The Searchers should be a real nostalgia trip too, with plenty of sing-along classics. Sounds like a very enjoyable lineup.

MayBee you're right....but in no time at all, Noel was slagging off New Labour but that's Oasis for you. Liam tends to be more candid, he likened Chris Martin to a Geography teacher and his pronouncements regarding the fall out Meghan and Harry versus the Royals, "well that's what you get when you marry an American" shock Whatever can he mean ?

I seem to remember Noel Gallagher being happy to be seen at No 10 during the Blair years and being part of Cool Britannia.

Yes please do Oreo. We can discuss difficult stuff, disagree and just possibly find common ground

Iam64 Wed 02-Jul-25 19:29:15

Oreo - same here !
Far too much attention to attention seeking people
I remember Masters of War by the real Bob Dylan threatening death to the masters of war., yes I accept the masters were a generic term, not a group of young people defending their country (or mass murderers take your pick) but nobethelesss incitement to violence
My lovely dad had no time for protest singers- they need proper job he said. But he didn’t suggest criminalising Bob Dylan. Sense of perspective anyone?

It’s good to know we agree on so much more than others Anniebach. Life long interest and commitment to the Labour Party alongside scepticism to Corbineesters

Can I join your club?

I like Noel Gallagher's take on the Glastonbury controversy. He said something like 'I don't like it in music. Some f*#*#*g little idiots waving flags and saying 'isn't war terrible or let's all boo the Tories'. Just play your f*#*#*g tunes and get off. 👏 👏

😄I agree with him

My son is going to see Oasis in August. I am not so much worried about their knees or voice, but that they will make it through till then without a massive fall out.

Kate1949 Wed 02-Jul-25 17:55:21

I love the mini Rod which I've seen before. The mini Tom Jones one is adorable too. Some people are very clever.

Casdon Wed 02-Jul-25 17:55:01

He’s had both his hips replaced now, so he should be fine. I’m hoping his voice holds out though.

MayBee70 Wed 02-Jul-25 17:46:29

or is it his knees? Or both??

MayBee70 Wed 02-Jul-25 17:46:07

I hope his hips hold out…

I don’t like Noel. Liam has turned out to be a much nicer person. Imo

Love Liam, he’s funny. I’m going to see them this weekend, I’m so excited!

MayBee70 Wed 02-Jul-25 17:43:04

Having been dismissive of Olivia Rodriguez after only watching her for a few minutes I have to say that, on hearing that Robert Smith had joined her onstage, I decided to watch her full set on iplayer and she was brilliant. I then read about her on Wikipedia and realised she was a jolly nice person, too.

I don't like or dislike either of them but I agree with Noel on this occasion.

Me too.

She’s a good constituency MP. As is Corbyn. But if I remember right one of the reasons why people wouldn’t vote for Corbyn and the Labour Party was because she would be in the cabinet and she had become increasingly more forgetful and confused. I used to like her when she was on the Andrew Neil late night programme with Michael Portillo.

Allira Tue 01-Jul-25 22:55:07

She keeps being re-elected though!

Anniebach

Diane Abbott has joined in, posted “. Jewish Defence Forces”
deleted later

What did she mean?

Mt61 Tue 01-Jul-25 22:52:13

Actually I’ll take that back, what has she been saying now?

Quote Iam64 Tue 01-Jul-25 20:53:34
Diane Abbott, imo , is a tedious, self regarding individual whose need to be a centre stage provocateur remains her greatest motivation

With you 100%

Oh I don’t know, I find her quite amusing lately, gone up in my estimation 😂

eazybee Tue 01-Jul-25 22:26:50

She’ll do anything to undermine Starmer.

'She' doesn't need to.
He has done it all by himself.
