incredible double header here in Bristol in June, Yasmin Williams & Gwenifer Raymond - two of the most interesting guitarists about right now. Hope they do some more shows together nearer me...

Bristol Beacon presents: Yasmin Williams & Gwenifer Raymond - The Wardrobe Theatre

Yasmin Williams and Gwenifer Raymond are both subverting the predominantly white male canon of solo guitarists. Williams employs a striking range of techniques, from evocative fingerplaying guitar to using every limb: one hand on the fretboard, the other plucking a kalimba whilst her feet keep...

I remembered this and checked, and they are playing near me (possibly near you too).

Will likely go to Manc, but Yes is one of those places which mostly books bands I'm not interested in so I've never been - anyone got an opinion of the place?

The basement is alright, pink room has awful sound imho.

I hate yes, would only go to see a band I really rate and otherwise wouldn't get to see.

damn, it's in the pink room. They're both solo guitarists though, I guess bad sound becomes more of an issue when there's a band?

 

[Part 2]

I've seen a few good gigs in the pink room but it's not a great venue. The basement always seems to be oversold.

Stick in the Wheel are playing in Morecambe on the 23rd April

I’m thinking about booking a ticket for Sage Gateshead next month

London urbs might find the new Baba Yaga's Hut podcast of interest - they play tracks from bands they have booked to play over the next month or so. Some really great things coming up

Big fan of Yes personally (apart from the stupid name), partly because they maybe book more bands I'm interested in, partly because I respect them for not being more expensive. If you fancy eating some pizza before the gig I'd say it's a reasonably-priced place to get some decent pizza?

this New Music festival in Coventry this weekend looks amazing - work by Anna Meredith, Gazelle Twin, Coby Sey, Rakhi Singh / Vessel, Afrodeutch and loads of other things of interest, all free.

New Music Biennial 2022 will comprise 20 new pieces of music: ten brand new works selected from an open call and ten pre-existing New Music Biennial works from across the last 10 years to mark its launch back in 2012.

Huh, I was going to say "Chats UK tour coming up", but having checked, it looks like they're coming over, just playing Sheffield, then going back to Australia:

So, I hope any urbs who really like the Chats live within a reasonable distance of South Yorks?

If anyone is going to see the current Nightingales tour, do not miss the support band Rats on Rafts.

I saw Bob Vylan on Wednesday at Rough Trade and got a signed CD and short gig for £12.50. They were mint of course.

Seeing Low tonight in Hackney (I can walk home from a gig ) looking forward to it , playing at Hackney Church which is a big-arsed church, 1800 capacity apparently, no idea if any tickets are still available.

 

[Part 2]

I saw Low in Manchester Cathedral on Wednesday night. They were really good but it was too packed and there were tickets still available on the door. I'm not made for standing and staring at a stage in a packed crowd that hardly moves anymore and at £37 they were at the top end of my psychological £40 ticket limit.

Divide and Dissolve supporting made the night for me. I'd never listened to them until a few days before and aside from the music being right up my street they were so excited and happy to be there and it was just really sweet. I got the feeling not everyone shared the guitar players enthusiasm though, she likes to chat a lot between tunes.

Just listening to some Divide & Dissolve now, I can imagine it working well in a big church (luckily the gig is in a big church ) might hit the place earlier.

Saw Lady Blackbird at The Union Chapel, Islington on Tuesday. One of the best gigs I've been to in ages, her mezmerising voice worked really well in that cavernous space. highly recommended if you can catch one of her UK shows.

Low were magnificent in Brighton last night - played St George's Church which is a lovely venue - all seated! They completely blew me away - as always....

I was thinking to myself 'everytime I've been to a church gig there's been seats'. I swear a joke was even made something like 'If your lower backs are ok we're gonna play a few more songs'.

I'll probably have a spare ticket to see Amyl & the Sniffers on 5 June at Nottingham Rock City if anyone round the way fancies joining me. Meeting some Midlands mates there and bought a ticket for my other half but its looking like the logistics will be too complex for him to join me now.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Next up for me is Spriritualized on Thursday. Just hope my persistent ( not covid related) cough fucks off before then.

I have the same cough- I think.

I've always been a big fan of this grammy award winning performer. She seems to be emerging from her COVID/divorce cocoon

Hayley Williams on her new podcast, Everything is Emo - Rolling Stone UK

The Paramore frontwoman has created a new BBC Sounds podcast series about the rock subgenre. She tells us what emo means to her, why Twilight is camp and why teens are being pulled towards extreme emotional music again today.

I have the same cough- I think.

The actual cold part of it was on the way out a week ago, but I probably brought it back thanks to a couple of early morning runs in low temps. Will stay off the runs before the gig. Can imagine anyone in a crowded space with a persistent cough not being looked on too kindly atm..

Of course I missed the support , pubbing it , all standing in general admission at the Hackney Gig a man of my age

 

[marty21]

Low were excellent, just love their voices and it works well in a church !

Being able to walk home afterwards

 

[May Kasahara]

Rescheduled Delines gig at Union Chapel tomorrow night
