July 19th Report - NEW PICTURES ADDED
After a marathon
session on Tuesday, everyone seems to be a bit worn out - those Thornfield
fellas didn't get home till 1:30am. Poor boys. But what a show it
was. Mr Adam "damn bootlegger" Mustin tells me there was 15 different
acts! Including a strange Derren Brown type magician called Johnny Strud,
Ross Clark from the superb My First Radio,
singer songwriter Nicola Bretherton doing stuff on the piano, the mighty
Thornfield, the quite brilliant Chris Warner from
Spin and a drunk guy and his
girlfriend known as Splinter Bungee and Ange the Pange. Who everybody else
was I can't remember but there's a good reason for that. Adam may submit
some form of report soon, and if he lets me, i'll post it here for one and all.
Anyway,
Hairythorn Mustin is currently starting on the project which involves compiling
a CD of the acts which have featured at the Brigstock and Kennedy's event as
some form of promotional idea. So if you're interested or have any ideas
and want to contribute, then have a word with him,
email me and i'll pass on it on, or
leave messages in the
FORUM
THIS MONTHS DAVE
BOYFISH COMPETITION WINNER - MR ROSS CLARK!!!
BELOW ARE THE PICTURES FROM THE LAST ACOUSTIC NIGHT - CLICK ON A PICTURE TO
ENLARGE IT. NEXT ACOUSTIC NIGHT -
AUGUST 30th
ALL PHOTOS ARE COPYRIGHT MARTIN BLUNT. PLEASE DON'T USE THEM WITHOUT HIS
PERMISSION. TO GET IN TOUCH WITH MARTIN, PLEASE EMAIL JULIE AND SHE WILL
PASS ON THE DETAILS.
The ever so exciting
Geoff Bland brings his acoustic night once a month to Kennedy's so that crazy
fools and pixies can show off their musical magical treats for one and all to
behold. Here is the ever so slightly compelling report from a Mr Adam
Mustin who is Geoff's better looking assistant, from the first ever Kennedy's
Acoustic Night. It has been slightly edited for "correct name purposes" -
you know who you are! Dont print it off and sell it on Ebay.
KENNEDY'S ONE -
from the ashes of Brigstock...
Big slap on the back for Geoff for making contact
with Garry Carr and consequently setting up the event with
Julie and Tom at Kennedy's in Irthlingborough Road Finedon. (just up from
the water tower building on the left).
A back room at least twice the size of Green Dragon Brigstock, comfortable
seating, intimate atmosphere, a real stage!!!!!, and Geoff worked his
magic once more to create top quality sound and lighting.
If anyone was wondering who the guy was taking photos, he's Martin Blunt -
friend of Julie and Tom I gather - nice bloke - he's
promised me a CD of the images next week... had sneak preview at the end of the
evening and some excellent shots there!
First up were our Brigstock die-hards CRAZYTALK
with Wake Up Call,
Dear Prudence, and Bounce Right Back. (I hate guitar tuners too Ian, it's the
guitar tech's job really isn't it.........eh Geoff). The lion's hair may be
shorter, but the Roddis still growls as I remember!! good to see u back
comrades.
JAB played next - I have to confess I know
little about these Kettering boys, except they're about twenty years younger
than myself ( thirty younger than Geoff then, crikey!)...
No email contact so I couldn't enquire about their set list, although Mr.
Garratt tells me a Nine Inch Nails track was played. Impressive set lads - hope
we've given you a good platform for the future.
Next up, equally young STEVIE JONES for
captivating solo performances of YOU ARE MY RELEASE, MILLION MILES and DIFFERENT
WAY.. all from his forthcoming 12 track album set for probable Autumn release.
I'm told it features contributions from Titch Vango, Paul De Gallier, Mark Gill
and Tim Harrison.
THORNFIELD returned reverb 'n' all; we were
hoping to have a stab at some Coldplay and "Because of Toledo" from The Blue
Nile's HIGH album, but I've not sussed all the chords out yet, so u were
spared...for now... we have plenty of song material knocking around waiting to
complete and hope to experiment with keyboards and drum programs soon, all in
good time.
CHRIS WARNER solo slot next; taking a break
from his current SPIN project - two songs of
his own plus Embrace's "Gravity"; cheers Chris, good to see you again after so
long mate!
ROSS CLARK - fresh from his band
MY FIRST RADIO's Leicester Charlotte gig,
and looking more Like Daniel Bedingfield than old Danny himself, though
thankfully more tasteful in his repertoire as you would expect from Gretton's
favourite son; playing wonderful solo versions of Damien Rice's Older Chests,
Angel Cry (My First Radio) and Willy Mason's Oxygen. (I thought u said Willy
Nelson Ross, ah well, never mind.... perhaps a grey wig and bandana next
month?).
Excellent as always, and such a high voice too...... we should talk....
The night though belonged to the craziest act I've seen for some time, ladies
and gentlemen...
pray silence...
pray silence...
pray silence for.....
