We went to see Limehouse Lizzy last night. The best I've ever seen them. A very fine tribute to one of the best bands ever (obviously not THE best, but pretty close). They have a new guitarist (well since I last saw them) he was superb. His name is James Roberts. At a couple of points some of the

Hello.. I have so stressfully busy outside of Boomtown - work, family, health, pets... Sooo, I decided to take today for me and do something enjoyable.. Meet the 'Fun in the Sun' family... Little skeleton girl playing with her haunted house (it lights up at night), little skeleton boy playing in hi

Well folks, Festival Season 2023 is nearly over. If you want to seize your last chance to see the greatest rock n’ roll band in the world, then this weekend is your last chance. The Boomtown Rats are – naturally – heading the bill at Weyfest in Farnham Surrey on Friday 17th  and tickets are still

Is anyone going to be in Belfast this weekend? How about a rat meet up on Saturday evening? We met at a nice restaurant last time https://www.villaitaliarestaurant.co.uk/contact#Findus. I thought this could work again. Please let me know if you’d like to join us. I’ll book a table. I was thinking

Looking at the forecast for SaturdY, it could be a little wet! But looking forward to meeting up with fellow COB and enjoying the day. Jules has already suggested meeting in the pub opposite the venue, so role on tomorrow. A little clip from Shrewsbury to kick start of weekend

Who’s going to Let’s Rock Southampton this Saturday? If you want to meet up, I suggest be by The Rats Merch stand about 4 pm. We will be there before that time, so you can text me before or later if you miss us. PM me for my number. See you on Saturday.

Shrewsbury is just around the corner.. I thought that I would dress in my finest pyjama top for the show in tribute to my favourite Rat... 💚🐭💚🎹💚

There's a pub called Top of The Town directly opposite the Egg market. I suggest we meet in there from 4 pm. Doors are open at 6.30 pm and apparently no queueing outside 😟😟😟. At least we can keep any eye across the road. They don't appear to serve food, so eat before or bring a snack, maybe. If

OK all you real lucky buggers that were at the first of the Let's Rock festivals yesterday - how was it?? Longing to hear your feedback and see your pictures.......

Not long now until Let’s Rock Cookham. Who is going? Meet up arrangements, for those who’d like to. It is better to meet up in the venue for a festival, I believe, so we can see the other bands. I suggest around the bar area at around 3 pm. Assuming there is only one bar! We’ll wait around a b

Let’s Rock Shrewsbury. Lots of people going. Meet up - by the Merch stand at around 4 pm. We will probably be there before then, so if you’d like to catch up before (or later) you can text me. PM for my number. See you all on Saturday.

I know for many of you, festival time has started already and some of you will be indulging again this weekend at Let's Rock Southampton. Unfortunately, I wont be ..... .....driving away from home until the weekend after - when we head for Let's Rock, Shrewsbury. Anyway enough references to
