Sunderland music thread

Is Patrick Gosling any good? I know he was at the Sol but not have time to listen and he’s playing at pop recs in march now.

I’ll have to have a listen after work
He supported Tom Meighan in independent last year when I seen him. Didn’t know any of his songs at the time but thought he sounded great, I’m going to go along to his Pop Recs gig in March

**LUCAS RENNEY PLAYS ‘SONGS OF PRAISE’**

Exactly twenty-one years - to the very day, no less! - after the album’s original 2004 release, The Golden Virgins’ legendary songwriter and frontman Lucas Renney returns to Sunderland’s beloved Pop Recs to play The GVs’ immortal ‘Songs Of Praise’ in its entirety.

This is a full-band show, featuring all your favourite nearly-hits such as ‘Light In Her Window’, ‘I Am A Camera’, ‘Staying Sober’ and ‘Renaissance Kid’, songs which have not been played in a full-band format since The Golden Virgins broke up in 2006.

So, come! Dance! Laugh! Cry! And relive your glorious, wasted youth…to the wondrous, righteous, soul-shattering sounds of ‘Songs Of Praise’!

Should sell out quickly this one should be a cracker.
