Timeout rumours.............
 
This weeks are……….

Paul Weller at the Desert Rock Festival
Stanglers in Dubai in October
Kaiser Chiefs & Franz Ferdinand at the Irish Village in October
Maximo Park frontman Djing at Chi this month

Are they just rumours or do any come into fruition?

Anyone know anymore details? MM, I’m looking at you!

I saw an ad in timeoue fr the weller gig, I'll be up for that.

the DJing usually happens, I think Tim Burgess was on recently at Chi at the indie night.

Kaiser Chiefs at the Irish Village?????

Er….. no actually………… they are massive these days – the IV just wouldn't be big enough.

Of course I could be wrong – so I will then look forward to seeing the Rolling Stones at the Barasti………..

Hugh Cornwall was here a couple of years ago - nice fella (& yes I know he has gone his own way).

You are going to hate me for this, but 10 years ago I had a daft Swedish flatmate who was convinced that The Stranglers were singing about Gordon Brown and that has stuck with me ever since. :(

#Gordon Brown, texture like sun....#

If The Stranglers are half as goos as The Scorpions were, I will be happy. As for the grey haired Paul Weller, he continues to mature like a fine wine...

Some of the other names I've heard lined up for Desert Rock and Rhythmn are good though.

Think I'll give Weller a miss though (he is good live mind)

Oh I see........ you reckon?

Many years ago, I was one of the organisers of a charity lunch that they attended......... not sure why THEY were there (it had a sports theme), but a couple of days later, we received an invoice ("Appearance Fee") from one of their management team.

"Appearance fee"?? At a charity lunch?? A colleague and I took great delight in sending a none-too-politely worded letter back.........

...... no, we didn't pay - and no, we never heard from either them or their lawyers again..........
