Went to see Jeff Beck at the Manchester Apollo last night. Hard to believe that this is the same person responsible for 'Hi Ho Silver Lining' 
A great concert of Jazz Fusion, Hard Rock and almost Baroque.
The bass player he has with him at the moment a young girl called Tal, I think from Australia, is marvelous.
Being so used to the MEN arena, I'd forgotten how intimate the Apollo can be.
Great night

The Manchester Apollo brings back some fantastic memories 
If only I could remember them

Alec, he didn't do Blanket, but he did do Bolero 
's funny Gosho, Grandad's memories of Saturday night are a little blurred as well 
. He's got a technicoloured bruise on the side of his face & can't remember how he got it & I've no idea either 
I was (semi) sober as well

Aye, I sometimes find a bruise that I've no recollection of getting.
I know I saw The Clash there twice, but I went there other times too and I've no idea who I saw. No, I tell a lie. I saw The Smirks there on one occasion and they were the support, but I can't recall who was the main band.

Untill the MEN arena opened we visited the Apollo on a regular basis, and then on to Jilly's - ahhh, those were the days

Rafters bring back any memories? One of the first things that happened to me when I moved to Manchester was that I got dragged along there... well, I didn't need much persuasion to be honest, to see XTC 
That would have been 1978, I'd already seen them several times in London, and I saw them a few more times besides in Manchester.
But not at the Apollo... I think.

Never went to Rafters, went to Fagins occasionally, only when someone I knew was on though

There was this weird little venue in Stockport that I went to a few times to see The Smirks, called Ray's Place. I think it might have been a community centre or youth club or some such kind of building, and I guess some bloke called Ray hired it as a music venue a few times a month, perhaps the way that Tony Wilson took over The Russell Club a few nights a week to create The Factory. It looked like a prefab and it wasn't much bigger, and to be honest with you it was a bit of a toilet, but I had some great evenings there.
