I have a great venue fairly locally and it seems to be able to cater for up and coming and local original bands but to do it, most weekends are given over to tribute and cover bands and I’m always amazed just how […]

And this is marvellous too. Half of them are in The Kaisers (not the Kaiser Chiefs!) who are fabulous live. Would love to see these guys live

Hungry Like The Wolf of Wall St (Shuffle?)
The Hungry Heart of Darkness
The Little Prince Charming

Made it in plenty much time and a rather fabulous gig it was too!

Liar Liar – The Castaways
Hole in My Shoe – Traffic
Hard Work – Smoove & Turrell
Two Fingers – Jake Bugg
Crazy Ex Boyfriend – The Reverend Horton Heat

Definitely random ‘cos I didn’t even know Traffic was on my iPod

Lloyd Cole and The Commotions….Lloyd’s never been shy of a name drop

Collins, Kirk, McClymont, Daly
