First on of three, with a crowd that obviously knew how good the support acts are and were not going to miss out. I cannot remember when The Joiners was that busy that early. Young Culture thanked those in attendance for turning out early to support but thanks wasn’t needed, this crowd was dialled in…
Put another way, what Vinyl will be in my basket? I always look ahead to see what Vinyl releases are imminent, I don’t have a direct link to any sources specifically telling me what is on the horizon so like everyone else I search sites to find out. There is nothing here you cannot find…
As a follow up to my Was thinking about the early 90s post. I went and found an original vinyl copy of the album and found the Funny How 7″ at the same time, yes I have it on CD boxed away in the loft as no CD player anymore but needed to add this…
That’s twice now, could become a habit! King Nun + Support from Hypothetics & President Elect It’s Independent Music Week, a great effort every year to support local venues and I saw King Nun announced. The plan was to see them In Bournemouth on the Thursday but then last minute I saw that I’d missed…
Everyone’s alright Paul, everyone’s good. When the Happy Mondays album ‘Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches’ was released in 1990 it helped define a generation. Yes I know it was their third album but that one was everything. 5 years later ‘It’s great when you’re straight’ had the same impact, for me anyway. Once again it…
No long wait. I arrived at the door time on the ticket, grabbed a drink, walked up to the front and within half an hour the support act were out. The crowd quickly took notice, moving from the bar area with Hinckley a song or two in telling/gesturing everyone to move closer. Tom Hingley’s voice…
We were not ‘Bilked’ by this band, they paid there fans back in full and a gave a tip. I remember hearing Spiked (released 2018) a few years ago and instantly adding it to my regular playlist where it has remained since leading me to order the Vinyl of the self titled debut album on…
Been a fan for years narrowly missing them at the Isle of Wight Festival back in 2018 due to crossing delays and with tours since then not quite lining up, then this gig was postponed. The lady next to me excited “this is my fourth time” Not jealous at all! That’s enough of the excuses,…
I read in an article after seeing them Live, “Kid Kapichi, Political Punk Rock”, in New England they state “Politics, not my department” but I get the magnified view on modern life. That wasn’t my takeaway, mine was simply ‘I need to see that again!’ Musically mesmerising and lyrically, well I was hanging on the…
I’ve always been a big believer in turning out for support acts it’s where it all starts, the evenings and the bands futures. I tend not to search and listen I like the surprise like when I holiday in a new destination I avoid the pics in the brochures, I want to see and hear…
