Who did you see live last?

Jesse Welles, on Monday. Outstanding.  Bass player was well old school. Fender Coronado and a fender valve and what looked like. 2 x 15.  Well worth the trip.

The Sherlocks atvthe jolly brewer in Lincoln.  My daughter introduced me to them and is a huge fan.

 

i have to say, great band, really strong songs, and a great way with the fans.  They come off stage after playing and chat with people which means a huge amount to young fans like my daughter.

 

saw them at rock city and have to say it was a surprise to see what I think of as a big band in such a small venue.  Loved it though.

Free community music festival in Komedia in Bath last night. There were a lot of musicians who made me feel very inadequate. Crooked Snout, Mute TV and Kill Mirror Image were all amazing. The headliner, Meryl Streek is an Irish solo punk vocalist. Its just him and a backing track but he really puts on a hell of a performance. Very angry and tells stories with his songs. He's starting to get some decent success and last night was the start of his British tour. We chatted with him after the show, top bloke, loves what he does.

I had a very musically diverse day today...

This morning I rehearsed with the punk band, breaking in a new guitarist.

This afternoon I went to a local church hall to see a chap called Julian Perkins play Bach's Goldberg Variations on a harpsichord brought up specially from London. He did it beautifully (though rather heretically, I prefer to hear Bach played on an actual piano!).

And this evening I'll be recording some funky slap bass for my EDMFunkRock band's upcoming difficult Second Record...

The Molotovs at the Black Prince in Northampton. Energetic 3-piece playing short, sharp punk-pop tunes infused with elements of the Jam and the Libertines. The long-awaited album finally comes out on Friday. Third time I've seen them and they are a real tight unit. Always stick a cover or two into the set, this time Bowie's Suffragette City and a superb Martha and the Vandellas' Heatwave.
