Sunday 14 July 2024....Euros 2024 Football Final . 8pm Spain v England....live on BBC1 and ITV1. Can England win their first major tournament since the 1966 World Cup? Spain are the favourites , as they have won all their six matches so far in the Euros, before this game. I still have not seen GRETA VON FLEET , who play The Royal Albert Hall tonight, so i will miss them again. The country will pretty much come to a standstill for this major event.Even Tesco are closing their stores early at 7.30pm so staff can watch the game. Sadly it was not to be...Spain were the better team on the night....still great that England got to the final. ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Saturday 13 July 2024. ARNO , ARD, ROSS Home Away From Home.. live at Shepherds Bush Empire. South Africa's musical titans, Arno Carstens (Springbok Nude Girls), Ard Matthews (Just Jinjer), and Ross Learmonth (Prime Circle) are getting together for an unforgettable evening, ‘Home Away from Home Live’. Fans can anticipate an intimate evening filled with music and memories as each artist performs their best tracks marking the first time in history they'll share the spotlight together in this way. Fans can expect to hear iconic tunes such as “Another Universe”, “Blue Eyes”. “Rose Tinted”, "Shallow Waters" and "Impossible Machines". ARNO CARSTENS was signed to leading booking agents SOLO around fifteen years ago, and got some great support bills, but he never got major success. Arno has headlined every major South African music festival, performed at the Isle of Wight Festival, Glastonbury, V Festival, T in the Park and Hard Rock Calling. He has also toured with The Rolling Stones, U2, Bryan Ferry, Simple Minds, Ultravox, Paulo Nutini and The Police. --------- Level 3 is closed , but other levels look full. The three artists arrive on stage together at 8.15pm and play for 95 mins. There is no band, and just three acoustics guitars , in front of the ex pat crowd. They take in turns, to sing their best tracks. The crowd are very lively as there is plenty of drinking ,singing along, clapping, cheering etc. All the songs played ticked along nicely. They finished with the Just Jinger track 'Sugarman' . A good show. The show finished before 10pm, as the artists on stage said there would be a free meet and greet after the show,which proved to be very popular. ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Saturday 13 July 2024. 13 July 1985 - 39 years ago today.
