Hello World

 Hello. You might find it odd that the two of us have decided to set something like this up during such uncertain times around the music industry, but you'd be wrong! Until we're allowed to go back to gigs the two of us will be sharing stories from a time before COVID during which we went to many a good gig and had many an amazing night out to follow! So, without further ado let me introduce the two of us. 

We are two metal heads from the Royal Country of Berkshire who have been attending gigs (and some festivals!) with each other for many years. Both of us love a good night out post gigs even on a school night (hence why we always take the following day off!). Most of the gigs we attend are either in London or around the Berkshire area (Sub 89 in Reading being a particular favourite of ours), although we have been known to travel further afield. We're often found in the pubs surrounding a venue several hours before a gig and often found in various clubs and bars afterwards. If one day you fancy it, maybe you can enjoy a drink with the ET team!

Amon Amarth - Brixton Academy 30th Nov 2019

Afternoon on Saturday 30 th November 2019. A time before covid and the ET crew find themselves on a bus from Clapham Junction towards the Badlands of Wandsworth. Why you ask? Well, it might have something to do with the amazing Amon Amarth playing at Brixton that evening! But first, it was time for the ET crew to check into their accommodation for the evening before fuelling up for the evening ahead in the lovely Wandsworth branch of GBK. With our stomachs suitably filled and 4 hours till stage time, it was over the road into the Ram Inn. The Ram, as it turned out was right up the ET crew’s street with a wood fire, old beams and plenty of seats. Result! T enjoyed a nice couple of pints of Youngs bitter, with E sticking to form and having a few pints of angry orchard. After warming up nicely, it was back onto the bus towards Clapham Junction. This was on E’s suggestion that this pub once had the longest bar in the world! On entering, it turned out the pub was packed, but as you’d e...

Ghost - SSE Arena Wembley 22nd Nov 2019

 Friday afternoon in deepest darkest Berkshire and for us two metal heads, this would normally mean the end of the week in our respective jobs, a few after work beers and then home. But not this week for the ET crew had a gig to get to! For E it was a half day in the office and then home and out of the suit waiting for T to arrive. T arrived at E’s shortly after 3 and following a quick cup of tea it was into the taxi to make our way to Wembley (bizarrely a taxi is cheaper than the train for the ET crew!). Leaving suitably early to avoid the traffic on the north circular, the ET crew were soon in Wembley. Time for the lining of the stomachs in the wonderful yet rather unfortunately named Fatburger on Wembley High Road. Trust us, the food is better than the name implies! With the stomachs suitably lined and with 3 hours still to stage time it was over the road to one of the ET crews favourite pubs ever. A proper Irish boozer, The Corner House! This being a pub E used to frequent ...

Skindred - o2 Guildhall Southampton - 15th October 2021

 615 Days. That’s how long it had been since the ET crew last were at a gig, this being the fantastic Sabaton at Wembley arena, alas no write up for this one, with hindsight we should have done one, but oh well, we can now bring you a blog post written from a recent gig rather than from memory and what a start we have! The amazing Skindred at the o2 Guildhall in Southampton. Not only are these guys a particular favourite of the ET crew, this is a brand-new venue for us so get comfy, maybe grab a brew for we’re about to tell a tale of Pizza, Scholars, Reggae Rock and a Lord of the Rings themed pub! The day had arrived. Friday 15 th of October. A date which the ET crew had been looking forward to since the return of live music was announced by BoJo and Skindred had announced their show time tour taking in various UK cities. Now, regular readers will know that we usually take in most of our gigs in London and there was indeed a stop over at the roundhouse for the Newport reggae roc...
