Aye thats fine, but i can tell you it didn't come across as witty because i heard a few people comment on it.

no offense to your mates bairn, its kind of like mason burstow or michael beale, not their fault but she should have played first then lotti or have played in the brew bake area. A quiet lass on her own wasn't hyping the crowd up for futureheads.

no offence taken. she's got a dry sense of humour, for someone quite young. sounds like the programming could have been better and helped everyone. :)

The entire thing was a shambles to be fair. The comedy (which wasnt funny anyway) was in a tiny room so loads of people never bothered, the bars were just total shit, under staffed and under stocked (can only imagine how bad the queues would have been if they actually had beer to sell).

It was a nice idea but executed so so badly.
 
Got quite a few in this month.

The Leisure Society @ The Cluny 19th April
SLUG ! @ Sea Change 21st April
Giant Sand @ The Cluny 22nd April
Adrienne Lenker (Big Thief) @ The Factory Manchester 25th April

Its a shame that there isnt much happening in town in terms of gigs with smaller indie acts . Pop Recs had quite a bit on last year but has been very quiet for gigs this year so far.

Was just thinking about gigs in the town. The Isis are putting a couple on upstairs, and the only one I have atm is Vistas @ Independent.
 
Dry Cleaning were decent, first time I've seen them at a much smaller venue. Bit of an acquired taste, and it's probably best knowing their stuff before seeing them. Vocals were okay(ish), think they're always going to be a challenge, with a pretty monotonal voice.

And to the lass that bollocked that raggy-tached c🤡nt, who spoke all the way through the set: I want to marry you.

Starsailor were great tonight at the fire station. Saw @Mackem00 mooching through the bar before the gig.

Liked James' shout out about how much a fantastic venue it is and that there's life in the north east outside of Newcastle.

Think there’s 3 new gigs announced. Jim Bob is one. But I’d like to see more.

I was looking forward to it but I didn’t think it worked. The vocals and lyrics were lost in the whole sound. I enjoyed the night but the music deserves a better production. I’m not normally too bothered either but the songs are so good it was a disappointing performance.

Didn't see you mate. Gig was spot on. Nice to see Andrew Cushin's mag crack was taken in good nature. Seems a canny lad. Starsailor were excellent. I am rough as toast now mind and getting ready to go to a princess themed 3rd birthday party. 😩

We didn't go in for the support, just stayed in the bar instead.
It's a class venue like.

Which princess are you dressing up as?

Probably. Had no idea there were 2 versions. I just looked up Beat setlists yesterday and was confused that they somehow played Ohio and Portsmouth on March 30 - Phil Collins / Live Aid vibes :lol:

Think that might be General Public rather than The Beat? The Beat split in 1983 then Roger and Wakeling worked together in General Public for a few years. They were quite big in the US though never really as popular here

I've seen both versions of The Beat down the years (inc the one with Roger before he sadly died). Never read about him and Wakeling actually falling out though seems like the two versions were going at the same time so mustn't have wanted to be in the same one for some reason. They did a one off gig together at the RA Hall in 2003 as The Beat, which featured most of the original line up, minus Andy Cox and Dave Steele. Then in 2006, Roger started his version of the band, with original drummer Everett Morton and keyboard player Micky Billingham (Blockhead). Wakeling's band started a few years later and used the name English Beat, which is what they were billed as in the States during the early 80s, to avoid confusion with a US band of the same name. Wakeling had relocated to California by then and his band was mostly made up of musicians from the ska scene there, with no other original Beat members.
