  • Loopy was there for Kate Rusby · Fri, 20 Oct 2017

    I wish I could write a review. I had bought my ticket and was looking forward to the concert. Sadly in the morning whilst listening to classical music in the library I was handcuffed and led away by several police officers. I ended up in Liverpool and didn’t regain my liberty until the 39th anniversary of the death of Sid Vicious.

  • A guest 80% for Eric Martin · Thu, 20 Aug 2015

    Awesome gig, crowd loved it, I loved it, my girlfriend loved it! Felt really personal. Eric's voice is still amazing! If you're a fan of Mr Big or even just rock you can't afford to miss this tour!

    Real good, honest fun as usual. If you need cheering up, these are the guys to do it, they don't disappoint. Can't wait to see them again this year at Kendal Calling Festival.

    Excellent evening. It only ended when the venue lights were put on to force a close.

  • A guest 60% for Motörhead · Sat, 08 Nov 1980

    Without doubt the loudest gig I ever attended of which there were many at that time. My hearing was gone for almost a full week and that was stood half way back from the stage. Kids in the front had their heads up against the PA and calling for Lemmy to play it louder.
    Everything played at around 180 - 200 bpm and with little break between the songs.
    The daft things you do when you are young !!

  • A guest 100% for Motörhead · Sun, 11 Nov 1979

    It wasn’t just the toilets, I was in the circle as a 16yo looking down on the stalls. When the concert finished and emptied out the carnage could be seen. Place was wrecked!
