Ok, this vinyl is not that hard to track down but a 1991 vinyl release is still 33 years of wear and tear you hope is not visible to your eyes and ears when you click buy. This time its ‘Congratulations’ by Jefferson Airhead, later to become Airhead, the previous name chosen as a parody…
A Wednesday night in Bristol, Johnny Marr with Gaz Coombes in support. A 2 hour drive followed by queuing in light rain, thanks O2 priority for putting their priority queue out in the elements, it wasn’t even a light mist really by that point really. The setlist The Encore I almost feel that I need…
Another great night at The Joiners in Southampton kicking off with local band Dead Freights in the first support slot. Truth be told, this band is the reason I was there last night. I’ve seen Dead Freights before at a different venue so knew what to expect, I was not disappointed. A great thing about…
Looking back – This morning, I booked a gig in October at The Marble Factory (Motion) in Bristol. If you’re that bored you can probably work out which but that’s for a future post. The reason that is relevant is that I’ve been there twice, sort of? The first was a night at Motion probably…

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’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…
