Live music for the Autumn

Posted on August 13, 2006 by Tim Hall

Live gigs for me coming up in Manchester over the next few months.

Anathema on Wednesday 13th September (Academy 3)
Porcupine Tree on Saturday 30th September (Academy 1)
Opeth on Friday 10th November (Academy 1)
Hayseed Dixie on Friday 17th November (Academy 3)

I have tickets for all for of these. Unfortunately Lordi’s gig in October is sold out.

I’m planning on catching at least one date for Mostly Autumn, who are touring in October, although not all dates have been announced. I suspect they’ll not be playing Manchester itself, but will play Bury and Crewe instead.

    Hey, which AM CD do you recommend me trying?

    I’d recommend the third album “The Last Bright Light” or the second “The Spirit of Autumn Past”. TLBL has a strong atmospheric/celtic flavour and is my personal favourite. TSoAP is a lot more varied, and has got a more folk-rock meets prog feel to it, which might well appeal to the sort of person that likes Railroad Earth.

    The two most recent albums “Passengers” and “Storms Over Still Water” are both very good, but their direction has been more towards much more polished commercial melodic rock with a bit of Floydian atmospherics.

    The first album “For All We Shared” has it’s moments, but it’s a bit patchy, and suffers from a lack of coherent direction.

    Hope this helps.

    Don’t forget my own prog past, though. Sure, I may be all about RRE these days (2 days until we ride a boat with them around NYC harbor!), but Celtic is an old love of mine.

    I’ll pick up The Last Bright Light soon. :)
