Hi Sue,
Yes, we are looking forward to seeing Muse and Snow Patrol
Of the recent bands we've seen, the Raconteurs were excellent. Was very dissapointed with Embrace - sound was so poor, it sounded like they were playing bum notes!!
Favourite band has to be U2 in concert! Awesome!!!

I am not even going to try as I am genuinely into the thousands now. I'm an ex music journallist/PR agent so had several free tickets a week to all kinds of bands from teeny unsigned ones to huge acts like Stereophonics, The Darkness and also festivals. You should see our CD collection (Scott ran the website with me so we had stuff coming through the letterbox every single day.)
