I’m still completely shattered, and the heavy rain was a very unwelcome addition to the event, but the first Madstock held in a very long time, in Victoria Park last night, was an experience not to be missed! It was fantastic to catch up with all those folks that I haven’t seen in such a […]
Better Than Danny
Last night we went to a free gig at the Forum in Kentish Town to promote La Roux. A friend expressed surprise that I’d go to see a band that were so ‘mainstream’, and I responded by saying that would be true, but only if you looked at a recent newspaper and it said 1981 […]
Aching Teeth
To fill up the weekend, I picked up some tickets to go to a gig while D and I were in Bristol – Teeth Mountain performing at the Cube Microplex. It took us ages to find this strange little venue – half lecture theatre-half garden shed, we finally discovered it halfway up the hill towards […]
Shh! It’s An Official Secret…
This week has been all new venues for me. Last night a couple of us went down to the Luminaire on Kilburn High Road to see Official Secrets Act play. I’ve just discovered these guys courtesy of S and they’re pretty amazing – the lead singer gave a frantic, almost manic performance and the music […]
“It’s OK, my ship came in”
So go Shoreline’s lyrics, last night’s support act for Dark Captain Light Captain, at the most unusual gig venue so far this year, the Tamesis Dock, a converted ship tied up along Albert embankment opposite the Palace of Westminster Shoreline, are more of a collective than a band, with their ten members taking a folky […]
At First Serious, Then Self-Indulgent and Finally Superb
Last night we pitched up at the Old Queen’s Head on Essex Road in Islington for a gig. I’d walked past this pub many times and had assumed it was a bit ropey from the large dark windows – I couldn’t have been more wrong. Clearly benefitting from a recent makeover, it’s got a twist […]
George Formby Eat your Heart Out!
I had a unique experience last night – we wandered into a ukelele jam session! The Royal George , tucked away on Goslett Yard just of Tottenham Court Road (a lovely pub – a bit tatty but great music ranging from classic rock to the Fleet Foxes) hosts a ukelele jam night every Wednesday evening […]
