As one of advanced years now, I can say this from experience, you'll find that your musical tastes change as you age. That's not to say that you stop liking what you did when you were younger but invariably you'll find things a little bit more mellow find their way into your musical collection. Until circa three or four years ago I'd probably never have listened to the likes of Ray Charles or Nine Simone but I reckon in the intervening years I've probably listened to most of what these two greats ever recorded. Whilst not necessarily your stereo typical Ray Charles recording, this album from 2004 featuring duets with other well known artists is perfect for listening to via quality headphones and a drink or two.

I don't think it is remotely sad mate. When I think back over the artists/bands I've seen over the past near fifty years, it's like a who's who of modern day (70's onwards) music and I really regret the fact I didn't do similar as the memories it would bring flooding back. Anyway first up this morning, is an artist that is a favourite of mine and also the late MBT(RIP) a long term contributor to this board. Amazing vocals as ever from Beth Hart (Usher Hall, Edinburgh 16th May 2026) The second track is so beautiful I'll admit it near moves me to tears every time I play it.

I wasn't aware of the existence of a fan zone. Has this been confirmed anywhere Are you actively looking for tickets to that or are you looking for match tickets also

To be honest I couldn't remember how much we paid for tickets, would probably have said a fiver as I had just started my first full time job and was on £50 per week Set me thinking though and found this poster, would appear as if tickets were £2.50 which in the context of what I was earning as a seventeen year old was brilliant value. Really wish I kept all my ticket stubs from all the gigs over near fifty years

So having resurrected the music thread it is time to get the book one back up and running. First thing is first @manc_don I have just read the first Walter Lucius book again as I see that the third one in the trilogy was eventually published. It was every bit as good second time around. Think it must have been eight or nine years ago we were reading them

I saw Madness for the first time as part of the Two Tone tour many many years ago, think it might have been 1979 or possibly 1980 Saw Squeeze at Summer Nights In The Park back in August 2024 Bizarrely we are off to see Jools Holland this Friday

Meant to say, not adverse to a bit of Trashcan Sinatras One of the few decent things to come out of the shite hole known as Irvine One of my mates is good friends with Frank Reader

Agree 100% with every word of that. Wish he was 22 not 32 and I would be giving him a five year contract

Good man, I need others involved in this thread. I am a massive music fan with a seriously eclectic taste and am always on the look out for stuff to listen to.

Don't think KFP has been posting since his job interview post late last year Seebass might be away writing his next book

Extra 550 tickets for our support acquired by the club and on sale now, but ONLY if you are on the waiting list and have over 250 priority points

KennyFuckinPowers Seebass Not seen either of these on here for some length of time.

No posts in this topic for over a year. Not good enough Given the influx of new members, surely amongst them there must be some with decent musical tastes, so get sharing what you're listening to Given I've just purchased tickets to go and see this man at St Lukes next year thought I'd dig this vinyl out and slap it on the turntable whilst working this morning.

Hank Mizell -Jungle Rock

Kiss - God Gave Rock N Roll To You

Rico's favourite artist - Rockin' Robin.

Not going up the road this mid week as will be again next week, so out Out Work In the radio studio presenting my show (might manage to sneak tablet in there with me to watch snippets on Red TV) Catch up on the highlights (assuming there are any) on Sportscene 2-1 Topi & Milne

Billy Bonds was a real footballer. A favourite of mine back in the day

The fuck I was nowhere near Amsterdam. I came straight hame fae Livi

Longelo ? Agree he has looked decent when i have seen him

Just home and thawing out Cannae be arsed trawling through the thread and doubt even if I did that I could add much that hasn't already been said By fuck though we are a hard watch, I and several others have put in the miles this week and have been cheated out of any entertainment value from AFC. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it or not but MOTM for me by some distance was the Livingston No:40 on the right hand side. He was head and shoulders the best player on the park.

Yes loudly

Absolutely brutal eye bleeding stuff from us. Contemplating binning the second half and heading across to the shopping centre to look for the wife's Xmas present

Karlsson off Topi on Please
