#HOTTERTHANJULY: the glorious crew at #Northops have raised over £1000 for @sheltercharity if I #skate through #London on the #SundayStroll wearing these - and we are in for next Sunday, weather will be 33℃, and while nobody needs to see a middle-aged man doing this, at least I don’t have to worry about being cold. #HotPants #sequins #rosabloom - borrowed from @conroybryony and being fitted by @saffstickles - so I’d better not fall over… #shelter #endhomelessness

#GUNSNROSES: dragged there by @cj.moore2018 who found a loophole in my policy against gigs by artists over the age of 50 by buying the ticket himself. A fine time was had despite the complete and utter fuckery at the stadium. My third stadium gig since 1988. Also: good grief, #Slash is phenomenal. Lovely crowd, unexpectedly nice and polite everywhere. Was not expecting that. 👍🏽👍🏽 #gig #london

#STVINCENT: as the Berlin gig was canned, I hastily bought the last standing ticket on Saturday night, and got in early to bag a decent spot. Never disappointing watching Annie becoming St Vincent with a band this good not seen since Prince used to ply his trade, and constant entertainment on stage from the cheerleader serving drinks to the band and generally being a delight. Annie Clark is a genius. #gig #london

#ALTJ: started well, ended well, unfortunately the middle was #Brexit converted to music and I felt like immediately leaving the country. They really can play together, sound of the trio was great, but songs a bit dull. New album is pretty good but there’s too many sleepy bedwetting tunes in the setlist. Thanks @banquetrecords for putting these little gigs on, though. #gig #london #kingston

#PRIMAFACIE: thanks @williamcooper718 and @harryb_the_jug’s mama for treating me to a #JodieComer tour-de-force. Petered out by the end, could have cut the final ten minutes but splitting hairs here. Outstanding sound as always by Ben & Max Ringham - (@chk_chk remember that Wiretapper street gig?) #theatre #london

DADROCK | Friday, May 20, 2022

#DADROCK: Average Night at #Pryzm watching #EverythingEverything on the eve of the new album launch, a band whose lovely compositions translate very badly live with too much information being blasted out. Also, drummer somehow is the least interesting member of the band to watch. Keyboard player was great though, more energy than the rest of the band put together. Plenty of good music married to hilariously cringeworthy lyrics, and great to catch up with @iancottingham even as things descended into modernity for the encore. Cheers @banquetrecords for helping to land these gigs. #gig #whitebread #london

#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

#WISTERIAFFS: everyone else’s seems to going perfectly - it’s taken four years to get to this, and I’ve clearly made a hash of the pruning because THIS HAS HAPPENED. Two-faced #Wisteria. #london #questioninggardentime

HOLYFUCK | Tuesday, April 26, 2022

10:28 PM

#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: 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
