I’ve posted about this before I’m sure, however its a wonderful gig to watch. Classic Fleetwood Mac from 1998. Love Christine McVie on this, such a modest musician and Mick Fleetwood’s drumming is immense

You can get served alcohol in Edinburgh 24/7 if you’re prepared to hop from pub to club/pub. Don’t think it encourages alcohol consumption that wouldn’t occur otherwise. Minimum Unit Pricing has worked rather than restricting sales

There is a madness out there. I plan a few gigs next year at £50+ (tix bought already) but otherwise it’s strictly local and small venues.
Imagine paying £100+ and you end up beside a bunch of pissheads?
Madness

The best gig I ever saw cost £4. Spiralling concert prices are a cultural disaster | John Harris

Tickets for big tours have vastly outstripped inflation, while smaller artists and venues struggle. The magic is in danger of being snuffed out entirely, says Guardian columnist John Harris

So many political tweets I nearly responded to one of them.

As a result we must ALL be punished.

Dynamic pricing will be highly dynamic for Rush.

Stunning

Indeed. The Tories used alleged impact on local services to have a debate on a reserved matter

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Visited the Scottish Parliament today especially to see the Enric Miralles exhibition.
Had the misfortune of going into the chamber where the Tories had called for a debate on the cost to local services of “illegal migration”
They are a poisonous bunch, ghouls the lot of them.
