Does anyone have a Farfisa keyboard my dear NYC pals the Fleshtones can use at @roughtrade East in London on Dec 3rd? They are responsible guys, a truly fine band, and I can help pick it up or return it. Anyone? You there at the back maybe? @Farfisa @farfisaband @farfisa40

Oslo Bla venue was packed out tonight with crazed, hopeful, shouting, wonderful @thelongryders fans tonight. Talk about fun❗️Tonight, Saturday Oct 26, the tour ends in 🇸🇪at Stockholm’s Melody Box so I sure hope the Stockholm music fans can 🎸come out and see us! Life IS good.👍

[Sid Griffin @MayePrivatRealm]

Austvatn, Norway🇳🇴was a rural gig about 80 minutes from Oslo yet it proved to be all killer with no filler. Great facility, delicious catering, enthusiastic audience, all in a lovely setting. Tonight @thelongryders play @BlaaOslo & Sat night the tour ends in Stockholm Melody Box.

Malmo Medley was a top gig tonight as @thelongryders returned to one of our favourite venues in 🇸🇪or any place. I found a pair of @eltonofficial Elton John’s old glasses backstage so I wore them the entire show. Curiously enough I looked like one of the Buggles. @thebuggles1 😵��💫

[Sid Griffin @MayePrivatRealm]

Hastings was a small room but last night it was a huge room at Utrecht’s @RamblinRoots Festival. Such a different feel but @thelongryders rose to the occasion as you hear via these two short clips. Kudos to our soundman Fabio Clemente. And this is such a top, hip 🇳🇱festival!

@SidCPsGriffin @thelongryders @229london @TheAMAUK @nickbob @StewartLeeBits @NHSLondon2 @LondonNHS @americanaUK @shindigmagazine @BBC6MusicRP @MOJOmagazine @uncutmagazine @CherryRedGroup I came over from Ireland and saw you @thelongryders in Bristol and in London. They were two of the best gigs I have ever seen. Tight playing, good fun and those 11 songs 💕.
Thank you so much 🙏. 40 years later. Better than Meat is Murder

[I live by the river @shorehamcalling]

Not often you get to walk home after a gig. 39 years since I last saw @thelongryders but still magnificent in Shoreham tonight!.

[Sid Griffin @MayePrivatRealm]

If you missed @thelongryders tonight in London I feel sorry for you. Not here joking, either. Next up Shoreham on Sea and then Hastings. And then we conquer Europe. Yes, I am and we are having a blast by the way! @229london @TheAMAUK

[Mr.H @Hoopie1105]

Just when you thought they couldn’t get any better, double drums and horns!
@thelongryders at the 229 club Great Portland Street.

Great @thelongryders gig at 229 in London last night - they kicked ass! Nice to briefly meet @SidCPsGriffin after - I love his onstage moves: I interviewed him for @hifiplusmag this time last year. 💥 🎸 Big thanks to @CherryRedGroup for the invite.

[Stephen Boyd @snboyd2001]

Heavy hard fingers marching on the frets. The man played and people moved slowly in on him until the circle was closed and tight, and then he sang. And each wished he could pick a guitar because it is a gracious thing.
Steinback said that and @thelongryders play on...

[Will Birch @Will_Birch]

Looking forward to enjoying the Long Ryders at 229 on Wednesday evening. 'Native Sons' brought back memories of Byrds and Burritos when #andrewlauder first played it to me back in '84 @SidCPsGriffin @gregsowders #stephenmccarthy @thelongryders

[Seán MacGobhann @SeanMacGobhann]

The Long Ryders outstanding @FleeceBristol tonight @thelongryders @SidCPsGriffin

[Sid Griffin @MayePrivatRealm]

Tonight in London @229london my band @thelongryders will have an expanded lineup as we accurately re-create our 1984 indie hit album, Native Sons. Not many tickets left (we sold out last time) and we onstage 8:45pm so please come see this very special concert. And being a smile!
