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

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
