Winner, in case it’s not clear.
There was an interesting article about them on Bandcamp yesterday (I think).
They’re playing the Electric Ballroom here I don’t like the Electric Ballroom.
I don’t really like the Thekla as a gig venue. It’s a boat and bands play in the hull.
I’m particularly exited to be seeing Nils Frahm next year at the Barbican in london. I had thought I’d wouldn’t get to see him before, but a last minute chance to see him play from his home studio in Berlin came up in October. So for my birthday we went.
I’m now even more excited to see him again
That looks an amazing space. I guess a former mid century church or municipal hall.
Ok done a bit of research and found its former East Germany Radio Studios. Great to see put to good use, and not turned into a block of flats with a few token studios on the side like BBC TV Centre.
Off to hear a spot of fiddling tonight, Lodestar Trio at Uni Sheff
They must get through a lot of cats with all those strings on the Hardanger and nykelharpa
One for @spacehopper - Jasmine Myra and band at Howard Assembly Rooms, Leeds. Excellent set, and next April’s album should be great based on the couple of tunes from it.
Jealous - I’ve read excellent things about them live. That is good to hear there is a new album in the pipeline Dave
Alan Taylor on drums ?
Kris Drever tonight, in the Upper Chapel - my first visit there in 41 years in Sheffield.
I presume that the pinned-up trouser legs are to avoid getting hooked on one of the many pedals used, rather than a statement of sartorial elegance.
Harvest Gypsies is one of my all time favourite tunes!
Nati @the Cluny…
Massively exceeded expectations…which were already very high after following her on socials () for ages.
Support from local act MaiusMollis was also really good… Well worth watching out for.
I’d love to see this but alas - @Gyroscope one to add to your ticket collection maybe ?
