MORESIGRID | Monday, May 16, 2022
#MORESIGRID: clips from #ADriverSavedMyNight and #Mirror but hardly do justice to the pop perfection witnessed here. Sound was excellent, a major coup for @banquetrecords and anyone with a ticket, really. Short, sharp and sweet set. #gig #poptopia #sigrid
#SIGRID: her #banter is great and so is she. You have to be optimistic to listen to pop music and this gig could not have been more perfect straight after #Eurovision - where the best possible result happened. Sigrid and her band are pop perfection, @banquetrecords are absolute legends for bringing us these gigs and the crowd were a lot shorter than usual, so arriving twenty minutes to stage time didn’t result in an impeded view. @wingsofaduff can’t believe you missed this one. #gig #london #poptastic
GREENPARTY | Wednesday, April 27, 2022
#GREENPARTY: committed local Chas Warlow is standing for local council on May 5th in the South Richmond ward. I’ll be voting for @andree_frieze in my Richmond riverside ward but hoping Chas succeeds. Richmond deserves the Green Party. #uklocalelections #greenparty
HOLYFUCK | Tuesday, April 26, 2022
#HOLYFUCK: so much live potential squandered in a mess of self-indulgence, a muddle of drops, beats and endings, leaving half the audience clueless and out of sync. Great start, like the rightful successors to Kraftwerk but constantly veering off into “modern jazz” - where the performers are having more fun than the audience. Buy the records instead. 5/10 #gig #london
FATHERJOHNMISTY | Friday, April 15, 2022
#FATHERJOHNMISTY: another album release day gig, with apparently #WalterBecker on guitar, not sure how they managed to summon him from the grave, tight band, tight songs, well worth £15 for a ticket and album any day of the week. And the guy has quality banter and high-grade lyrics. Thanks @banquetrecords #gig #london @fatherjohnmisty
WETLEG | Friday, April 15, 2022
#WETLEG: saw this up-and-coming little beat combo nine days ago, the night before their album came out, in the little club that is @pryzmkingston - and now said album is top of the pops and that will surely be an end to these little gigs. Congrats @wetlegband and @banquetrecords #gig #london
DESSA | Saturday, March 26, 2022
#DESSA: introduced by @chk_chk I got thoroughly into the tunes over lockdown but even I didn’t think this would be THE BEST GIG of the last three years, and easily top five of the last five years. Amazing rapport with audience, so much fun. As @kailryu said, if there was any justice in the music business she would be selling out Brixton Academy tonight instead of @oslohackney #gig @dessa #rap #hiphop #feminism
BECKYCJ | Saturday, March 26, 2022
#BECKYCJ: @kailryu knows her from the old days of @thebedfordpub and Becky is properly good these days - strongly recommended, top songs, top singing and piano. #gig #dessa
