Dan Mangan was quite exceptional at Bush Hall last night. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a gig so much. And of course a little audience participation always goes down a treat.


Playing Sunday at the Camden Crawl if anyone fancies a slice of awesome songwriting, killer guitars, beautiful lyrics and a most excellent horn. Don't know if the mighty Zeus are supporting on Sunday too but they are definitely worth checking out too.

Here I am again. It's Meltdown. Antony Hegarty's Meltdown at the South Bank. To say that Antony has lined up some pretty weired stuff is an understatement (although not a surprise). I've just spent the last 15 minutes listening to Diamanda Galas on You Tube and I'm literally terrified. But that's the joy of Meltdown.


Somehow Antony has managed to coax Elizabeth Fraser out of self-imposed retirement for two nights. That's a bit WOW. This is the lady who turned down Coachella for ?1.5 million because she just wasn't feeling it. Needless to say that tickets are flying out so if you want to be there then I wouldn't hang about. I think public booking is on Friday and Elizabeth will sell out lightening fast. Members' booking opened on Wednesday.


To be clear, I don't think she has any plans to do more gigs, she's likely just doing Meltdown then disappearing again for another 20 years. So go see her. What's to think about?

Here's Antony chanelling Beyonce.




Now I'm crying.




And humble.

She's not sold out yet Titch. Go have another look. The website crashed yesterday and all sorts of crazy things happen to the SBC's website when they put Meltdown on sale. But go and have another look now - there are seats. All the front stalls have gone but you can still get side stalls.

Sorry I got my days muddled up - that always happens to me in a bank holiday week.


So, to be clear, members' booking opened yesterday (Tuesday) and public booking opens tomorrow (Thursday). Both Liz Fraser nights are well sold already just to members, but there are tickets still available. So you can go online now and buy a membership and get tickets, or you can wait until public booking tomorrow and buy without paying the extra ?45 for membership.


Who knows what will happen tomorrow ? they might have held good seats back for the public on-sale, they might add another date(s), Ticketmaster or Seetickets might get an allocation. The only guarantee tomorrow is that the remaining tickets for the two dates (6th and 7th August) are going to sell out in a matter of minutes.


If you decide to go online now I think (but I?m not certain) that you can view the seats online once you?ve put a membership package in your shopping basket. The front stalls have gone (but they may have held some back for tomorrow). There are seats in side stalls, rear stalls and terrace available. The side stalls are the best option. You can always phone them ? the box office staff are very helpful.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!

      Selective licensing for rentals extended

      By malumbu · Posted

      Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
