I’ve still been hemming and hawing about going to this.
Mostly on the side of “it’s a heck of a lot of money for two distinctly heritage acts”.
However I only realised this morning that me sending my passport off for renewal last week is incompatible with me attending said gig on the 20th 
Allegedly my new passport is out for delivery today 
I posted my old one back on the 29th December.
- That’s a bloody good service
- Could still make the gig

And it turned up at about 8.30am.
Proper blue / black passport. Mmm, smell the sovereignty.
Get to the back of the queue
The sort you can only get in a French printed product?
I got my sovrinty bak 
(even though I have only the dimmest of claims to being British)
Congrats, you’re in control now.
No more forriners with funny names

Saw Emily Portman with her trio a few years ago
They were excellent

She’s recently been working with Rob Harbron
but I think that this will be a solo gig

Thursday was fun, an enthusiastic new local band in a small room
I liked the harmonica/banjo/mandolin player’s mini-Marshall amp. Don’t think it went up to 11 though.
Tha Crucible theatre studio was a good venue for Fergus McCreadie’s trio yesterday , music in the round.
A mesmerising set with some very intense playing. Recommended.

Evidently I’m not going to see the Viagra Boys on the 25th then.
I’m sure this sounds selfish but I’m more thinking of the artists who have had a really shitty time during covid and then end up having something as big as a gig at the Brixton Academy pulled out from beneath them.
I think this one will go through a few more iterations.
I’d not heard of them until now but am really enjoying so far, thanks for that.
(I’d go so far as to say I’d like to go to the gig but doesn’t look like there’s much chance of that now…)
