Mrs B lives round the corner from the RNCM, they do an annual brass band festival we generally go to - heard some amazing stuff there over the years. I was reminded recently of this piece - which was premiered at the festival, and like most contemporary compositions has probably never been played since - shame cause it's really lovely.

The RNCM brass festival is usually every January - hasn't happened for the last couple of years but presumably will be on next year. I'm not really plugged in to the brass band circuit otherwise though so I only tend to come across other stuff by chance (a friend who plays trumpet for Grimethorpe posted about the Barnsley event this morning but he isn't a reliable source of listings unfortunately).
Most big brass band events will have Grimethorpe, Faireys and Black Dyke playing though, so it's probably worth just checking their websites from time to time and see what they've got listed

Some good stuff at the Village Green and on the main stage over the two days. Horace Andy headlining. And still free.

I've just bought a ticket for Bill Calahan in November. I find his baritone voice very attractive 
thinking about going to Supersonic on Sunday, my planned weekend has been cancelled by covid...

Bugger, did anyone else know Thou were touring? Playing White Hotel tonight, which I would've been well up for if I'd realised. Still playing Glasgow, Supersonic and Bristol in the next few days though:

S'alright, I went to the football last night and probably going to a thing tomorrow so it probably won't kill me to spend tonight at home.
Would definitely recommend it, they were excellent. The Gorilla sound wasn't great for Nadja and I was getting worried but by the time RD and Circle got started it was an absolutely joyous 75 minutes.
If they're playing the same encore everywhere and imagine it'll be a great Supersonic ender.
I'm going - will report back.
Keep seeing adverts for gigs at a new Manchester venue, New City Hall, which apparently has recently been refurbished and is a legendary manc venue - fairly sure its never been open in all the time I've been going out here, do you know what it's been all these years? You ever go there back in the day?
New century hall. I've never been there but James Murphy did a thing called Despacio for MIF there 2013...best soundsytem ever or something. I seem to remember stoko had an eventful night.
Seems to be stuff about an original springy dance floor, a hi tech light up ceiling and a 'state of the art' soundsystem. 800+ capacity, a bit less than Academy 2 but looks like a simlar box shape. I'd like to see inside but It'll likely be something special that gets me in there. Looks and sounds better as a club/dancing event than a gig from the pictures I've seen.

Iconic Grade II listed building. Vibrant destination for live music, exceptional dining and signature cocktails. Open Tuesday-Sunday.

I went to see Hackney Colliery Band at Band on the Wall a few weeks ago. I'd seen them a few years ago at Shambala so knew they were good.

If you venture up to Manchester for any gigs/festivals and need a place to stay, my Hulme flat is about 15 minutes walk to RNCM and you can potentially crash, depending on dates, let me know.btw re Acid Brass, I basically see the world the same way as Jeremy Deller - came across this book he was involved in Jeremy Deller - Folk Archive

Think it was more like the function room in a big office block, rather than a standalone venue, iirc.
They were great, but I hated the encore.
Highlight of the day was J Zunz, who is playing the Peer Hat on Wednesday - definitely go if you're free: she has a couple of albums out on Rocket which will give you an idea what it sounds like, bit she is much more banging live...
Divide & Dissolve were superb last night too - I was wondering throughout how they went down with the Low audiences - it's a pretty abrasive sound, not a lot of ways in for many Low fans I'd have thought? I loved the chat too, she was extremely righteous.

Yea I'd looked at that and listened to the albums. She's half of Lorelle Meets The Absolute who I've seen and enjoyed so I was planning to get there, definitely now.
