Damn Godley. Zero to history in a lack of heartbeat.

Saw Teskey brothers at Hammersmith last Friday. Wierd Gig, started really well first five or six numbers but then degenerated into some self indulgent guitar wank and vocal guitar gymnastics in songs that seemed to end many times as they milked the applause to death. Almost felt prog rockish at times. Left before the encore to mop up the blood from my ears bleeding. Each to their own I suppose. Earlier last week I’d seen young singer/song writer Ladybyrd at the Half moon Putney. Quite impressive. Not sure what direction her career will go in, but certainly has a voice on her. On to the brilliant Sam Fish At Koko London next week. 5th time I’ll have seen her and as female blues guitarist and singers go, there ain’t many better.

Did Wick St festival in Sussex last week,and it was bloody great. Capped (and sold out) at 1800 punters, it was just the right amount. food and drink at local not festival prices like £6 a pint £7 a burger. Punters from kids to a 93 year old doing her first festival, and it was a great friendly rural atmosphere. Main stage. Second stage and a dj tent saw everything from Irish folk through to Reggae, drum and base. Brilliant sets from ELO Encounter, The Veltmans, Rosie Frater Taylor, John Otway, Toploader, and many more, and Don Letts and Jazzy B (soul 2 soul) rounding off each night with superb DJ sets.. Best for me though we're Cuban Brothers who were just bonkers and really got the crowd going. Heaven 17 surprised me with just how good they were. But the Dutty Moonshine Big band were just something else. Impossible to pigeon hole, just look them up. Electro, swing, drum n base, dub, hip hop, samba, reggae type stuff all with a brass band thrown in., The main tent was jumping for them. Look up the website, you'll get a feel. After only about 400 punters in '23' due to various reasons, the organiser deserve major plaudits for a great job done, and roll on 25.

Saw Beaux Gris Gris and the apocalypse at the 100 club last Friday. Absolutely brilliant Blues and Rock night. Get a chance, definitely worth it. Went alone. Good not to be in the 'hope the other person is enjoying it' complex.

Out Brazil, Wyman, Lazerenko, Gilbert, Housego. In Joan Bakewell Johnny Walker sven G Ericsson Noam Chomsky Jmmy Carter. Sorry its it’s a bit late

Erja Lyttenen at the Half moon Putney tonight.

Paddy Mcguiness on Radio 2 yesterday, wishing Steve Harley all the best as he’s in very poor health now or words to that effect. Treatment effects or Cancer itself ?

I was there too. Agree was a great Gig. First time I'd seen him live, and the power might not be there in his voice now, but the craft and delivery was superb and Suzi wow what a voice. Saw Robert Cray at the New theatre last year as well, so the venue only throws up good give for me..

Mr Winstone Kodogo IIRC. You have to be of a certain vintage

Well done @Dying Probably. Great hare-tortoise-hate strategy Thanks for running this @An Fear Beag. Your irreverent style makes it a good read . Personally, making MEH from a hitless first ten months I will happily take.

Great stuff GCR. Congratulations

As you quoted my post, I thought I was the dumb fuck for a minute there . As no Kitson for me, I’ll take semi dumb fuck.

Very well done Tracy. Amazing score.

Definitely
