My Gig Reviews

News half way through 2017

13/7/2017

2017 has been kind so far. I have gone to 7 gigs and a festival. Heard the legendary Bob Dylan and discovered new talents in the likes of Julia Jacklin, Angel Olsen and Miya Folick. I have booked an additional legend in the autumn and a few more gigs. One of those bands was on my wish list blog post! I am really excited - the universe heard me!!! You will find out about these in due course. 

 Also, things I need to report:
  • I have heard Clean Cut Kid on the radio at least three times in the last few months and they are also headlining their own tour. Clearly I was wrong about this band!
  • I have gone from lukewarm to flaming hot in terms of liking Black Honey. So much so that I even bought their vinyls. Awesome music and artwork. 
  • Talking about purchases, I also bought Cattle&Cane first album. Lovely CD and personally wrapped. Nice delicate artwork.
  • Georgie has indeed got signed by a major record label and is soon to release something. She was performing at Splendour Festival this year. Unfortunately, I decided to pass it. Weather isn't great and money is low. Perhaps next year.
  • There is a new music festival in the area: RadFest 2k17. I had booked my ticket to attend, a whole £1 worth! But decided to meet up with friends in London so have to wait for next year. At least I supported them financially!!
  • Pixx was the closing act for Stealth venue during Dot-to-dot Festival 2017. Excellent news. Her new material are worth hearing. I expect her to go places.
  • Remember Rat Boy? Well Vevo/youtube won't let me forget them! Every time I listen to an offsprings song the ad before them is Rat Boy! How on earth could that have happened? I AM NOT THEIR TARGET GROUP. Bad money spending!
  • Finally, very sad news. The Crookes, my new favorite new band... they are calling it a day! They have their final tour in September but unfortunately they didn't include Nottingham. Sad news. They really are a talented bunch. Hopefully this is a hiatus and not a permanent break-up. 

That's about it. Summer is slow on gigs for me. I shall resume in the autumn. Enjoy your gig going.
Stay safe

    Just your average gig going creative writer. Expect these reviews to be highly subjective and completely unprofessional but hopefully entertaining and informative.
