Ohhh...



What fun...!


Yes, Billy Childish was "FUN" in a good old going to a gig at the ICA kind of way. Loud, raw & funny with guitars played straight through the amp, no mixing desk. Just lead, bass & hammering drums, all played with a vim & vigor that brings a big smile to your face.


Oh sure it's not going to please everyone, but it is real.

It's music played with such passion & joy that I take my hat off to him, long may he carry on.


I do also like the venue and the "interesting" ICA crowd. Pretty girls with big noses in Vintage dresses & men not out of place in a Godard film, facial topiary, heavy rimmed specs & asymmetric haircuts, they were all there tonight.


It reminds of music before packaging , spin & product got in the way & before downloads made it so impersonal.

Well before the X-factor cheesed us off.


In all, it was a bloody good British grunt


Which I for one, feel all the better for witnessing



Indeed




W**F

    • Going to be really inconvenient for folk to go that way as has been stated.. why not just move to Camberwell which I would assume is abit nearer and better travelling wise or have vets in both places from Lordship Lane Branch.. Must have been massive flood if going to take two months to dry out, electrical tests to make sure all good… From upstairs? Or where?
    • @selector73 Thanks!  Because we want him to be treated by the vets that know him we will have to get to the New X branch because thats where the team are based until LL reopens. Thank you again 🙏
    • There's 1 in camberwell hope that helps
    • Thank you !  We Will find a way to get him to New X because We owe his life to the vets he sees at Lordship Lane branch and they know him (and us) and we prefer the continuity of care because he's an elderly rescue cat who gets extremely anxious even though he's been needing monthly bloods he just never gets used to going and it can be a lengthy process just getting the sample. Can you tell I'm as anxious about the whole thing as he is??😥
