Looks a good gig. Four young bands, a DJ and more.

A mate just emailed me about this one. Has a football casual link, both new and old but at least three of the bands have some mod influences and "are new and upcoming."

"Think you are way off the mark there mate. The casuals came from the dressers who were mod. The mods who went onto casual were into the one upmanship of the casual scene. It was new and exciting when it started and still is today. Casuals…"

"They cancelled their Dublin Quadrophenia gig in 1996, gutted. So when it came to Albert Hall in 2010, I had to do it. Bloody thing cost me a fortune, had to get tickets through one of those rip off websites but worth every penny.....fingers crossed…"
