Jamie Cullum

Mrs Pants was stood outside waiting for me after the Ben Folds gig last night and Jamie Cullum came out and she ended up chatting to him.

Nice bloke and quite short apparently.

Easter beaster

A lot to write about, had a huge great easter weekend and really managed to fit quite a lot in. Can I remember it all is the question though... Friday daytime is too long ago to be sure, but in the evening we did a little tour of Stoke Newington Chur...

The Pogues - alright

Went to see The Pogues last night at Brixton Academy, and they were alright... was a nice christmassy vibe, but I didn't really get into it... pubs in Brixton were RAMMED with pre gig drinkers, and the venue itself seemed equally overfull. My theory ...

The Darkness tonight at Brixton Academy, looking forward to this, haven't seen them play since the Barfly Music Passport show, this'll be only the third time this year... really wanted to see them again, couldn't face going to Wembley, so was pleased...

Best place to be a parent

The Observer says Stokey is the best place to be a parent, aside from the smack, crack and stabbings I guess. Cheerier news from Folkestone, WiMAX trials in January, from someone called www.telabria.com, yeah Folkestone's where it's at baby! Can't wa...

London venue capacity

Aha, a chance to take a step towards my self-imposed remit when I started this site, being a bit of a resource for local people. Were you wondering about the capacity of certain London venues? I have done before, just got a press release from Shepher...

Pixies review

Pixies were amazing last night at Brixton, could be one of the best gigs ever. We warmed up for the show with a few pints of Old Rosie in The Beehive (Brixton Academy gigs are about the only time I can persuade anyone go in a Wetherspoons) so missed ...

Gig Mental

So, yet another "modern" band books into the Leas Cliff Hall, when The Charlatans come to town on the 3rd of June... not a good day for us, as if all goes according to plan we're seeing The Pixies at Brixton Academy that day... an odd one for the Lea...

Insane in the Chain

I muchly enjoyed Goldie Lookin' Chain at Metro last night, here are some pictures:Got some video footage too, but it's a bit crap, I was a bit drunk...I can sort of understand Metro having no proper beer on, it's all cans in there, but I can't believ...

Suede @ London Astoria

Man I'm spending too much on gigs, but it's turning into a really good year for good bands touring... Just got Suede tickets, it's good that they've added a new date at a smaller venue... Also GOOD that it's a Saturday night, we can really make a day...

Watching the bands with some mates, and snogging a wolf mask (honestly!) before running off to jump around at the front

Keep smoking Justin

Still no confirmation as to whether tonight's Darkness gig is still on or not (after Liverpool, Folkestone and Portsmouth were all postponed), but I could do with it being put off for a bit... Saw AC/DC last night, also at Hammersmith Odeon Apollo, a...
