Trip to London

Got back from my trip to play the Good Ship in Kilburn yesterday. London is always a hoot and now turning into a bi-annual affair, every time i visit at least six more people I knew from school seem to now be living there so it is nice to catch up with people. I'm sure I bored everyone rigid moaning about how long it takes to travel 5 miles in one of the world's greatest cities, but I'm back where I belong now, feeding whippets, riding penny-farthings and marvelling at the impressive collection of dirty black London bogies I managed to cultivate on such a whistle-stop trip.

Print the below off to get in a bit cheaper to my gig tomorrow x

Saturday 17th July

Peace In The City presents a night of leftfield pop treats, with a touch of folk and shoegaze. Live music from 8 til 1130 and DJs after til 4am.

At The Good Ship, a smart yet unpretentious and very friendly venue on the Kilburn High Road with proper drinks; tons of stuff on draught and in bottles plus real ale and wine you can drink at non rip off prices.

The Amber Herd
http://www.theamberherd.com/
".... both blissfully melancholic indie and uplifting stripped-back folk and comes to a sprawling, open-mouthed finish with an almost Velvet Underground-esque wall of sound, acoustics flitting between prog keyboard stabs and all buried under Neil Beards's darkly overdriven Mary Chain guitar. Nottingham's best kept secret?" www.thiscitymagazine.co.uk
