• Martin Carthy, with and without family, a few times
• Robyn Hitchcock (with Soft Boy buddy Kimberley Rew and REM's Peter Buck)
• Dylan, Christy Moore, The Cranberries, Waterboys, Gaslight Anthem and a few more at Feis 2011
• Edgar Winter
• George Thorogood and the Destroyers
• Seasick Steve
• Kathryn Tickell

Highlight performances over perhaps a dozen Cambridge Festivals back into the 70's include:

The memorable gigs from the 70s to the turn of the century include:

• Jack Bruce Band

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Stone Roses (x2)
Arctic Monkeys (x3)
Oasis
Miles Kane
The Wailers
The Enemy
Reverend & The Makers
Maximo Park
The Sherlocks

Recommend anyone looking to get into a newer band to give The Sherlocks a listen, they are a young Sheffield band, pretty decent too.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Actually

 

[Van Der Graaf]

Their best song.

Seen them in Derby and London. Met them in Derby (really nice lads), and at Rock City someone that travels with their band (Think the sound guy) remembered who I was and came for a chat. Think I was remembered as not many Southerners are into them/know them....That or I was such a mess at the Derby gig.

 

[Posh Hammer]

I made the mistake of booking a concert for Sport Relief. It was billed as JLS, Olly Murs and Rizzle Kicks.

As we queued up to get in we were comfortably the oldest couple there, in fact, other than parents, we were the oldest there by some 15+ years!

Turned out the Sport Relief part of the concert was actually just to give all proceeds to Sport Relief and it was the full JLS concert with Olly Murs, Rizzle Kicks and the cast of fucking Miranda doing a bit of Sport Relief warm up.

Their song which went "I wanna make love in 3D" was the highlight of the night though, what a band.

The lead singer, Aston, is from Peterborough, and used to be a fairly good footballer at youth level. I played for a team called PSV (Peterborough and Surrounding Villages), and he was in the year above. Played right wing and scored a fair few goals.

Their songs are shite though. The company I used to work for was promoting their debut tour so had to endure them singing covers for almost 3 hours two nights running. It was awful.
