I still tend to dress mostly in black Shimmy... I've got to get myself another motorcycle so I can go back to the 'biker look'.
Saying that, I go to a couple of busker nights a month, folk, blues that sort of stuff bring your own guitar... some good musicians and I reckon I'm the youngest there!
BTW If anyone lives in the North East... there is a busker who plays on the Newcastle Metro... he must be in his 50s 60s and he is bloody good. He was playing 'Hurt' last time I heard him about a week ago and hearing those lyrics whilst stood in a station full of people with paper blowing around everyone stood quiet with their own private thoughts... so atmospheric
Weirdest set I've ever seen (apart from E from the Eels doing 'get yer freak on' with a hammond organ) was the lead singer from Dexys midnight runners in a pretty silky dress. I was not expecting that.
Strangest gig ever echobelly not that they were strange just got hypnotized by the lead singer and ended up in a catatonic state for hours after thinking she's sooo pretty. Even now have to keep the albums under lock and key so don't get all excitable by the cover's.

beebs, we had seats but everyone, and I mean everyone, stood up as soon as they came on stage and no one sat down again.
Best gig I have ever been to - Green Day O2 24/10/09
Worst gig - have never been to a really bad gig.
Ah, but do you wear a corset and a lace dress Corrie?
Edit, please stay away from busses when you get your new bike, pleeeeese
Only for very special people Shimmy
Ha ha... I will
Best gig - spiritualized at Leeds festival in 2002. Were an hour late but still worth it
worst gig - Anything at Bestival 2009
Gig you regretfully missed - At the drive in
Gig you were lucky to see - Death from above - just before they split up.
Blimey, are you that old??
Almost...
I had a crowd surfer dropped on my head during their Reading set, his huuuge boot nearly took my earrings out.
Great mosh pit
s'okay, you're forgiven

Did you ever see 'James' Shimmey.?.. twas like a Lily Savage convention...
Oo Ooo... another brilliant live band to add to my list... saw them in the late 1980s
I luuuurrrrrvveee James, hence the big James flower on my bright yellow festival tent.
I've touched the sacred hand of the Boothster *swooon*
Seen them a few times. Best in small venues. Saw him with a neck brace on at Reading I think it was. He still managed his fab hip shimmy dance
#this bed is on fire with passion and love, the neighbours complain about the noises above......#
wooooooooooooooooo oooh oooooooooh
I've never seen REM, (what's the frequency Kenneth' has just come on the radio)
Would love to see them
