Tbf, I remember Sheffield being great for gigs below a certain level of obscurity/DIYness... but yeah, once you get above audiences that can fit in a pub back room or so, Brudenell does knock shit out of most other venues in the North that I've known.

Well apart from the annoyingly shit venue (not my first time there and I’ve never liked it) that was a great night. Accidentally stayed up all night so fairly ruined today.
I want to see this band in a bigger room with a full on light show and better sound but I liked it enough to look forward to that sometime in the future. Another thing I wanted was more vocalising from Lias, I kept wanting some Suicide type yelps and chatterings but apparently he’s nursing his voice and taking things easy, so I guess his vocalising was low key. He was in a pair of shiny skimpy shorts with a slack codpiece and a dog collar. Which was better than his Wideawake Spanx outfit but still not sexy.
The blokes behind the boards with half naked singer out the front was a bit like two acts to look at, but my date said “Lias inhabits his role as if he’s a whole instrument himself” and I kinda know what she meant.
What did you think Maggot ?
proper excited it

Bit late but . . .
Overall I was a bit disappointed. The music was ok, but started to sound a bit samey after a while. I agree with you about the vocalising, I couldn't hear what he was singing most of the time. Also agree about the poor lighting, Lias appeared to be illuminated by a red light held by someone in the audience.
On the positive side were Lias' energy and charisma which shone through, loved the atmosphere and the crowd - some weird and wonderful outfits (and people). Also like the shadiness of the venue despite its shortcomings.
I saw someone who looked like how I imagine you do, but didn't have the nerve to ask if they were story

Damien Dempsey and Ian Prowse tmw in the Pool. Can't wait to be back in Church.
Just noticed there's details for the RNCM Brass Band festival up for January: RNCM Brass Band Festival 2023 - Royal Northern College of Musicbtw 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

<<<,acid brass fits into all that
Folk Archive: Contemporary Popular Art from the UK | Book Works
Folk Archive: Contemporary Popular Art from the UK is currently out of print. ‘If Pop Art is about liking things, as Andy Warhol said, then folk art is about loving things’ – Jeremy Deller…bookworks.org.uk
it basically captures how i feel about the UK (and beyond i guess)
id travel up for one of these brass band fairs, but Id need months notice - when you hear about things could you post them? whats the name of hte other one you go to? might take a few years but will get tehre one day

The main reason I want to see it with better sound and light was exactly because of the things you say here.
The red light looked like a mini 2-bar heater. Odd.
(I’m now curious to know how you imagine me to look like..)

I‘m not aware of this stuff. There’s some signs of kink in early FWF vids involving Lias so I assumed it was more of that kind of thing.
Bit of a disappointing weekend just gone.
Thursday I saw TVAM which, although I'm not mad for the music was a good show and felt like it should be much bigger.
Saw Benefits on Friday. Despite all the great reviews I've lost interest. The music is good at times but I don't want to gt to a gig to escape a bit not be reminded of how shit everything is. Support by Straight Girl was bloody awful. There's an amount of singing and dancing to a backing track while occasionally pressing a button that I can tolerate and they went way beyond it. I was texting a mate to tell him about it and apparantly they're the daughter of one of my old mates.
Iration Steppers on Saturday I just wasn't feeling it and some mates who were due to be there couldn't make it. Left early.
Sometimes I feel like because I'm going to a lot of gigs I'm bound to hit on patches like this but November hasn't been as amazing as I'd hoped.

This one is tomorrow and thankfully looks to be on.
Just booked for a Christmas concert by Kantos Chamber Choir - they're really good, and do some interesting stuff: I first saw them on Easter Sunday this year at Salford's White Hotel, doing some real heavy doomy choral stuff... their Christmas concert is a bit more mainstream, but they are performing Britten's Ceremony of Carols, which I've wanted to hear live for a while - some other pretty offbeat festive bits too.

Bringing YOU round.....
I get this too.
I buy tickets for artists I love but if I'm not in the mood, which is 50/50 currently.
Also tickets seem to sell out really quickly so mostly buy quite a long way in advance and by the time it comes round for whatever reason I may not be feeling it.

Off your chops at 3am music at 9pm after a few beers..
I'm off to SalfordMediaCity at Soup tomorrow night. Seen them a few months back at a 1520 studios party. It was really good, proper party music. Guitarist , Sadie?...used to be in ill.
Crywank and Gurnal Gadafi at Band on the Wall next Wednesday 15th...sold out. On at The Golden Lion night before.
On my Facebook 'interested list'...Marconi Union at The Yard on 17th playing along to classic skateboarding film...Downhill Motion. Probably added it because I've not been to The Yard.
Something just came up on my Facebook at Aatma/Peer Hat this Friday night, 8 bands across both venues, and DJs in the bar. Might have a look at that and see who's on.
