Another busy weekend in our music city.

😎
 
Steels Social Club posted this earlier: "The committee met last night and have decided that due to financial constraints the live Friday night bands will end from the 1st February until further notice."

I never go, so I can’t comment on attendances, but it would be interesting to see how it affects bar takings. How much does a band cost to put on?

Sunderland's bid to become a Music City forges ahead in 2025
 
One of my favourite local bands.

I may go and see Phil Jackson at the Ivy House on Saturday night it's his first solo gig.

He plays in the Nutopians.
I had a sneak preview of Phil's set at a Singer Songwriters night when Patrick couldn't make it. He played a few 'unconventional' acoustic covers and it was really good. I'll be there

Could be up to £500 depending on the band 😳 which is a lot if you don’t make a lot on the bar
