If you have five seconds to spare then I'll tell you the story of my life.

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

@DMTWestEnd Wouldn't even send me a free programme as a gesture of goodwill!

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

Great show from @SP1nightonly and Reece but shame @dmtwestend don't take accessibility as seriously as they claim and the statement on their website about bluetooth hearing aids is misleading. Accessibility manager at the venue was helpful but even he agreed the website is wrong.

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

Emailed and got insulting reply from some idiot called Gary - "As you saw the show in full using the appropriate sound equipment then I do not see that there was any disruption to your evening". If you have accessibility issues then avoid @dmtwestend, they don't give a toss.

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

@bogl Always a pleasure to see you and the Mael brothers.

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

@bogl 86 in a year is a bit lightweight. I did 97 last year and a few years ago I managed 106. How would GWR validate it though, would I need to show receipts?

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

@jez_kerr @hareandhounds Fantastic set, loved the versatility with constant swapping of instruments.

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

Good mix of songs from recent album "1982" and old favourites. Plenty of instrument swapping with four bassists in the band, although not all playing bass at the same time, and everyone contributing a bit of percussion.

90 minutes of #FactoryRecords vibes from @acrmcr at @hareandhounds last night. Excellent photo taken from the stage, with two shifty characters bottom right. #ACertainRatio #ACR1982

[Dojo @Dojo007]

Thank you for another great @acrmcr night @hareandhounds

New video from the Nightingales. One of those cabbages is me...

[The Nightingales @_Nightingales]

*NEW* Our chum Burt Bacharackhams has made a video for our song ‘I Needed The Money At The Time’ from the album ‘The Last Laugh’

Beware the cabbage men & their strange rituals

Watch full video : https://t.co/TLKMHfiRfG & hope you dig the track if you haven’t got the LP yet

@sainsburys when I add an onion to my basket on your website, why does it cost £15? I know there's a vegetable shortage but that's still a bit steep. (Price per kg shows as 89p so I suspect it's a bug)

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

@MoonSmileJane I should take some of the blame for buying you that shot!

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

Still no response from @O2InstituteBham but I'm told that the manager is @CarenAP1
Maybe she'd like to comment on the shocking way customers are treated at her venue.

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

Shocking lack of disability awareness from door staff at @O2InstituteBham last night when they tried to confiscate my hearing aid batteries at the gig by @mogwaiband

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

Never experienced anything like it in 30 years of gig-going. @O2InstituteBham @academyamg would you like to compensate me for this appalling behaviour or would you prefer I take action against you under the Equality Act?

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

@O2InstituteBham @mogwaiband @academyamg The band were fantastic but why haven't you or @academyamg acknowledged my tweet about the appalling behaviour of your security staff that night? You really don't give a damn about customer welfare, do you?

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

@vinylfan83 @CookeLouise @___Kraig___ @O2InstituteBham @mogwaiband @attitudetweets As you say, lack of training and also I think the security guy could only speak very basic English. Nothing against immigrant workers but if you're dealing with customers you need to have a certain level of communication skills.

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

@vinylfan83 @attitudetweets @O2InstituteBham @mogwaiband Thanks, I've sent them a report of what happened.

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

@DManxer @O2InstituteBham @mogwaiband Got a generic response "Sorry to hear of your disappointment following your visit to O2 Institute Birmingham. Please be assured all complaints are taken seriously and we will investigate the issues raised We aim to respond to complaints within 28 days" I'm not holding my breath.

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

@brainsweeties @rbstrng @O2InstituteBham @mogwaiband O2 venues always show a total disregard for customer wellbeing!

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

Gonna stick my neck out and say this incarnation of the Poppies give a much tighter performance than the 80s/90s version ever did. #PopWillEatItself #PWEI

[Steve Watts @ceefaxsteve]

Cracking set from @pweiofficial but it was dangerously hot. If you think that setlist looks a sorry state you should've seen my hair by the end of it. @O2AcademyBham maybe turn on the aircon next time? #PopWillEatItself #PWEI
