The last time they played the Union Chapel ( pre Covid ) they had a lap steel player and it worked beautifully. They were great last week, again at the Union, sans steel, but could’ve done with a little s […]

Luke might cock a snook at that, but I’m entirely with you. Fabulous record.

I saw him a couple of years ago do a solo show at the Railway Workers Club in Brighton, which is every bit as unglamorous as it […]

Love this thread. Here’s the topper though. https://youtu.be/ovMdp0UesGM

The show’s title was The Scottish Island That Won The Lottery so you cant say you weren’t warned!

Well, if VFM is what you’re after and you are in Brighton next Friday you can head down and see my band, Fluffmuffler, plus support from the excellent Fractured, at the Hope and Ruin for a fiver. That’s £2.50 per […]

Bloody love the HoL, and Terry Bickers is massively underrated. Incidentally, extremely loud the one time I saw them live. Like, ear pleadingly, rib cage shakingly cloud.

‘Battered’ doesn’t narrow it down that much (!) , but I think you might mean The Great Eastern? Another really nice spot.. What I wouldn’t give for a pub crawl round town at the moment.

Sadly The Flowerpot is now merely a perfectly decent pub where I occasionally take my mum for lunch if I’m visiting. But no jukebox, and not much in the way of vibes. I tended to head to the Three Fishes or […]

May I please bagsy

or

I’m easy. Your shout.

OR…and it’s just an opinion…the most drop dead gorgeous of the 335 family.

Another vote for Edwin. Arket also good and rather cheaper.

I’m currently on holiday on the amalfi coast and it’s scooter heaven. Everyone from cool youths to whole families to old men with their dogs between their legs is scooting around. Most of the scooters are old […]

Dave and the Phase3 massive would presumably beg to differ, Lemonhope. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/16963362.phase-3-scooter-club-appear-in-soft-cell-video-filmed-at-twisted-wheel-manchester/

Because, sir, they look unbelievably cool. Mechanically and practically inferior to a half decent motorbike in every way. But a classic Italian scooter is a glorious thing and makes anybody riding it instantly and […]

Not to mention Some Candy Talking (jamc) and I want Candy by The Strangeloves …. that’s early / mid 60s so possibly the source of the Candy canon?

Thanks for reminding me about that gig. A very very odd evening altogether. Eccentric support act too. Mr Haines turned out to be something of a trouper – not an impression I’d built if him from his written outpour.

I think I might like F&Ws ‘Happy Busman’ more than Radiohead’s entire output.

Local rivalry aside, I think we’re a bit envious of the atmosphere at Whitehawk. For a small crowd they make a lot of noise.

They do still produce excellent posters, and pretty smart, funny marketing across the board.

If I were more tech savvy I’d post an example here, but you’ll no doubt be able to view via […]

Lewes FC. An eccentric and progressive, community owned club with a unique commitment to equality. They are the only club in the world to pay men and women’s teams the same wage and where both teams play at the […]
