| More cheap/excellent gigs |
[Feb. 14th, 2009|08:41 pm] |
 hey ,it was advertised apparently,but bagrec mentioned that bellowhead were playing earlier.Wow, it was rammed,mainly with chiuldren,but they cleverly illustrated a story about a monster called bellowhead with lots of interactivity ,including small people banging things(usually crap,but today marvellous ).I am glad I am getting out more ,cheaply!

 there's a pub called the wickham just up the road from here.it's always done music on thursdays but they have also started to programme (usually local)music on a saturday.Landlord bitter is £2.75 a pint and the music is excellent.
Last week it was We Ghosts and last night it was Flaky Jake (without the Steaming Locos) marvellous ................

I did a little pyro gig the other day at Telemann square in kidbrooke .they tried to get Jamie Oliver to do the speeches ,but he was busy...I had previously visited /done a 'recce ' and they had been making things out of vegetables (if i get ahold of the pictures youshall see 'em,don't hold your breath) and I was particularly enamoured of the sheep made from cauliflower.
as a slight homage here is some celeriac

| cheap nights out in Deptford (contd.) |
[Nov. 30th, 2008|08:15 pm] |
so me and Quobble went to the Amersham ,via Fred's birthday at the Albert,to hear/see Polar Bear.They were supported by Syd Arthur (herman Hesse?) who were also quite good .Polar Bear were brilliant and mixed my favourite idioms Jazz and Punk, with extra thrown in.It's led,loosely by Seb Rochford who is ,quite frankly ,the best drummer in the world ...............
here is his picture ,check out the badge

| Halloween's potential disaster(s) |
[Oct. 31st, 2008|02:53 pm] |
 First disaster was sainsburys had no pumpkins.Niether did Tescos. Not a problem as there is always Deptford Market. Nobody had any.Oh nooo-o-o-o- how shall we keep the nasties away?
but I had read in the grauniad that it is slightly better to use turnips.Any of them ,nope.AAAArgh.But wait what is that and are there two?
It's a Swe-e-e-e-de.Bloody hard work ,fortunately the lateral-thinking-technical-person type has a large drill and a 25mm. spade bit .yes ! however no.2 daughter managed to drill a large hole through her sister's not-pumpkin
The picture shows no.1 duaghter being a bit more restrained (there's a first!)

 My friend anita had a showing of her deptford 45's (excellent films) at the albany.They were sort of accompanied by a solo set from Ashliegh Marsh and two sets from Ampersand .groovy ambience would be a possible description.

|
|
| and last but not least............. |
[Oct. 4th, 2008|02:32 pm] |
well ,actually, they were on last so I suppose that makes them the headline band .Does it help to have the promoter playing in the band? this is the reformed Foul Geese with Gwinney doin' the shouting ,sorry,vocals and Elwell on his amazing hitting thing (octopad?) and that is a guitar-head.................

 Down the Monty for one of Elwells shopping trolley gigs .interesting set by this guy matt who I had seen previously doing unreleased movie scores,he composes and records them then they get used as a sort of backing track.Last night was sort of covers but absolutely brilliant.He was joined in the second set by resident M.C. Dr. Burnheart Gloss who performed with fire .....

there was another sonification event at trinity Buoy Wharf yesterday(Sun.) .having tweaked the sensor a bit the music was fuller,and at times quite melodic...
managed to get a picture of the notification which,as you may remember from a previous blog is controlled by the tide as it floars about (enlarge the picture/zoom in if you can)

lovely sunny bank Holiday at the Herb garden in deptford.Hosted by charles Hayward with Nick 'Balti' doyne Ditmas on bass,and new guest Tom Challenger.After a solo set from Lol Coxhill my idea/suggestion (one of my best ever ) was to have the two saxes play a duo .My mind is still blown ,coulda been the wine I spose,and I hope someone recorded it just to hear if it was that fantastic. |

| Kids, who'd have 'em? |
[Aug. 17th, 2008|09:54 pm] |
Well ,round here we call them children as ,apparently , only goats have kids .However, the children have returned fron camp,bringing with them loads of soggy clothes ,it rained, so consequently Chris has been washing for two or three days.I have helped slightly with hanging out to dry and bringing in to avoid more rain etc.,they have not .
Tonight was a nice suprise ,after me cooking ,Chris making the gravy,Kit grated chocolate onto the ice cream and brought it to me ..............
Now all they have to learn is how to operate the washing machine . |
