I thinking of trying the Albion on Saturday
 
Enjoy perhaps you could post on this thread about how it went?
The music was great, all four bands were really good.
Sadly the organisation was atrocious.
Gates should have been open at 3.30 and folks were still waiting outside at nearly 5.00 before the gates opened.
The VIP area was oversubscribed as the queues for the bar and food were long, then the one poor woman doing burgers aka “quality BBQ” ran out of food 😂 the “luxury toilet” nearly capsized it was leaning over so much !
It was shambolic.
I enjoyed the music a lot, the crowd made the most of it.
Will take a massive act to tempt me back tho.
 
Three odd shoes at the peacock canny, lead singer bashin the drums, unusual, entertaining.

Then off to the live lounge for Scarborough band Friday street, played the set well but really generic song choices. Once seen soon forgotten.

You going to see FM at the Peacock at 18:00 this evening?
 
They are a last minute replacement for the excellent Tamla Motown All Stars who had to cancel.
Seen them once, they are excellent mind. I think they are from Darlington way. I was talking to a couple from Newton Aycliffe who had came to the Peacock to see them. They were saying they loved the town mind

I've seen them twice at the Peacock both times they were quality.

They've played Mill View club and the Live Lounge recently so they must like Sunderland.

Well we were in general admission, tbh it looks like we were getting in quicker than the vip queue, no queues at bar or food, ground a bit soft in place but not too bad, will probably be terrible for those going today. Great music and atmosphere, enjoyed it.
 



Following the enormous success of Sunderland’s first Let’s Caper@CityHallin April this year, organisers have confirmed that the mini-festival takeover of the building will be returning to the city on September 27th for another epic celebration of the region’s creative and cultural
 
I was at the Independent last night. The performance by a young and energetic Ochisia was the highlight. They were first on so I was glad I got there early. They have changed their stage act a bit - first time I saw them it ended with the guitarist falling over and dislocating his knee and people shouting to call an ambulance.
