I am interested to know what your taste in music is Rich. It's a pity you missed Stray though.
I have looked at gigs near where you are out of interest, you do have an eclectic mix of bands that perform in MK.
Going to see live a band is cheaper than a few pints in a pub these days.
If you want to see a fun band I do highly recommend China Crisis and if you want something different see John Verity (Argent/Zombies). You should go to the 2 Focus concerts Rich.
I always found Fairport Convention hit-and-miss live. However, they are legendary. Dave Pegg seems to have mellowed down since he stopped drinking, he could be a very mouthy, violent and rude git. I have a few stories.
Agree with everything you said on Glastonbury and those who attend. It's so true about almost all of the modern day eco protestors and Green Party members. They are all white, from a very narrow similar background, which is a well brought up one, quite nicely off, never personally wanted for too much, have a cushy life and little for themselves personally to complain about but feel the need to look around and find something to latch onto and complain bitterly over to justify their existance somehow because their own lives are just so smooth going. But then a minority of them are not as intelligent as they think they are and end up in prison for childish acts they think make a difference but don't.
Now onto that band called Stray.
I first saw your post last night with the link at 7pm, an hour before the gig. It won't surprise you to learn therefore I missed the boat there on that one.
I have never ever heard of this band, yet I discovered they'd been going on and off since the mid 60's and are British. Where have they been hiding? When you first mentioned them to me I thought you were referring to the Stray Cats actually. Even when I looked at the Stables link to their gig on Sundayy evening I thought it was an incarnation of the Stray Cats that had peeled off from the originals and could only use a variant of the name for some legal issue and had dropped the Cats bit! Until I checked them out further. Anyway it's always interesting to find out something new, even if they are, er....old!

Glastonbury, which I've never been to and neither would I wish to go to it, even for free, unless perhaps Bowie and Freddie Mercury were somehow resurrected, is a monumentally hypocrital enterprise far removed from its original roots.
These people ruin the environment, litter and filth all left behind, they can't even take their tents back home with them in most cases nowadays, utterly throwaway attitude, and yet I bet most of these people are the Just Stop Oil sympathisers and Green party brigade who rave over all those environment issues and climate change. It's clearly a woke event, but with one gigantic anti-diverse failing....
Why do almost zero black or ethnic people buy tickets and go to Glastonbury, other than some of the stage acts? It is one of the least diverse events you could name in modern Britain. The KKK would be proud. A bit inconvenient that, especially when shown on the quota obsessed gender and race fixated discrimanatory BBC who seem in thrall of this weekend event for some strange reason and have now turned it into an annual jolly for hundreds of their own staff.
Glastonbury at nearly £400 for the weekend actually manages to make the BBC licence fee seem a bargain.
I have never been to festivals, I do love the outdoors but I could never share a bog with thousands of people especially if someone has explosive guts or women blocking the crapper with their hygiene products. I did watch bits of Download on Youtube I wouldn't call it diverse like Glasto but the age groups are much wider.
It does make me laugh about Glasto, it's a very left-wing event yet they have more fences and security than Dover. It annoys me to see festival goers and events who abandon their pop-up tents, if you don't want them take them home and put them up on Freecycle or Marketplaces as free.
If you see Just Stop Oil or Green Party people, take note that they are always white, posh, middle-class and were doctors or teachers. If they are students they are from wealthy families and probably feel a bit of a rebellion when they are in numbers or the lad wants to try his chances of getting laid for the first time.
If doctors cared they wouldn't strike or hold the public hostage over vital health care. I doubt they run their gas guzzlers on vegetable oil.
I wouldn't say teachers live in the real world. I also wonder if festival-goers pushed for the ban on plastic straws but they dispose of their plastic shit in a field after the event? They think children belong to them...I think you know they belong to the parents or guardians.
They went to school, finished school, then went to college and went back to school. Then they seduce and diddle with your kids or if they don't do it, they sure want to though.
Now you better get ready Rich for tonight's Stray concert.
