Recovering from last night’s BSP gig in Wakefield. We caught the train with fine ales securely packed for the journey down. Checked into the hotel, then got the tube to Camden’s Enterprise pub. The Enterprise was pretty disappointing – half the ale pumps were off and the ale they did serve was pretty shitty….
Day 1 of a 2 part British Sea Power gig run that would see me in London’s Roundhouse the following day.
Watched the new Damned documentary last night in the beautiful Hyde Park Picturehouse. Whilst I welcome any documentary on The Damned I have to say it left me a little disappointed. The documentary lasts just short of 2 hours but it seems to revolve around Rat and Brian and Rat’s money disputes with Sensible. Dave Vanian barely gets a look in. I realise with a band with a history like The Damned there’s only so much you can cover but to ignore the Strawberries album seems crazy.
Having not seen the Manics for a good few years and missing the original Holy Bible tour an opportunity landed my way to get tickets for Wolverhampton and meet up with friends. A good time was had by all.
Another enjoyable Brix gig this time at Hebden Bridge Trades Club. Very similar to the previous gig at Leeds Brudenell but with the inclusion of Totally Wired. Can’t fail really. Good time had by all. Hope there’s more dates forthcoming.
