The morning spring day sun came streaming in through the window. A soft breeze blew through and cooled my face. Often in these situations I feel terrible, but I hadn’t drunk that much and this mornings wake up from the springtime elements put me in a good mood. I looked at my watch 0510… eugh! […]
The gig that became a weekend and a school reunion. pt1
It’s Saturday 24th May 2025. Dad and I have just wrapped up the latest phase of a stupid job in Bayham Street, Camden. We could have finished the job last night but the powers that be all wanted to go home and come in again on the weekend instead. It’s their prerogative, I guess. I […]
Don’t it always seem to go…
Hi, it’s been a year since I last posted (I know, shit blogger or what!) and I wasn’t planning on blogging about this either, that is why there are no pictures. I’ve decided to ruminate over what happened to me last week more as a cautionary letter to myself than anything else. Please be aware, […]
The Curfew Club and a cheeky pint
The Curfew Club is a monthly musical gathering in a small and intimate setting showcasing some of the local talent, especially those with acoustic or Americana bent. The session was first bought to my attention while reading The Bedford Clanger, a magazine highlighting all the cultural and art stuff going on in Bedford as well as […]
NEW MUSIC – Natasha Gilbert
I Should have told you about Natasha a long time ago. I remember standing at a music festival in Milton Keynes next to her brother when he posed the question, “So, are you going to write a blog article about my sister then?” Natasha was on the stage and she was rocking it and at […]
I’m going to go on a little rant now…
I have just got back from the Isle of Wight and this year’s Isle of Wight music festival where a fun time was had by all. There was one thing there which really got my goat. The Beer. Now I’m sure that the powers that be have done a lot of market research and deduced […]
The Great Escape Festival 2014 – Day 3
I left the hostel after a few hours kip. “It’s the last day” I was thinking to myself, could it really be over already? It felt like I was just settling in. I made my way, the same as yesterday to Blind Tiger. Distracted by the smell of the free barbeque I’m not sure I […]
The Great Escape Festival 2014 – Day 2
I like a lie in and for me one of the most irritating things in life is waking up earlier than you have to. I knew that I’d be seeing my first band at about midday and yet for some reason my subconscious decided to wake me up at half 9. This wasn’t funny considering […]
The Great Escape Festival 2014 – Day 1
As the previous post said, I’m going back to writing a bit about the music I’ve seen lately and a few weeks ago was The Great Escape Festival, an annual event held in Brighton as part of the much wider Brighton Fringe Festival. WARNING: This post contains bad photography. After the great Darjeeling debacle I eventually arrived […]
The Great Escape – Day 1, Part 2
OK, so where was I? I Finished watching Step-Panther because I always feel bad if I leave half way through someone’s set, it feels like I’m being rude, and decided to take the advice of the gentleman in the crowd and go to Pychcosocial. I had no clue about the band which was on before The Killgirls, […]
