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

    • Childish behaviour by Trump, so quite appropriate, I would say.
    • There's a folk choir that meets upstairs at the Castle, can't remember what night  but the pub would be able to tell you.
    • The recommendations for tradespeople are in the  "reviews" section. I agree it's confusing.
    • Thanks for this. I appreciate your suggestion. However, I have walked to the Oxfam shop with a shopping trolley (quite light when it's empty)  load of books in the past. I have also taken a trolley load of books on the 37. Both times I came back on the 37 with an empty trolley. I'm 76 and not particularly fit. I also have a problem with both  my arms (golfers elbow. No I am not a golfer. Dragging weights makes the pain worse). To walk to Herne Hill from my home  involves dragging the trolley uphill for the first part of the walk (downhill after that). To get a trolley of books onto and off the bus is very difficult, because of its weight. I don't use my ancient car (1998) very often because it isn't ULEZ compliant, but I have come to the conclusion that this is the only way I can get another  load of books to the Oxfam shop. *Breaks down in a piteous fit of crying for her age and infirmity 🤣🤣🤣*
