Euros Childs

Wednesday, March 8th, 2006

Went to see Euros Childs last night at the Cumberland Arms. He was was excellent. If you’d like to have a listen then you’ll find some live recordings to download on his website. The album, which is very good, is out too. Great beer, as always, at the Cumberland. Think it was Wylam Rapper I [...]

Belle & Sebastian and birthday

Monday, January 30th, 2006

I went to see Belle & Sebastian on Saturday night at the (relatively) new Newcastle Academy. They were very good, excellent in fact. Stuart Murdoch has an amazing voice. Their new album The Life Pursuit is out on February 6th (NME review). It was my 26th birthday yesterday. Mum gave me two bottles of malt [...]

The new SFA single is excellent. The album Love Kraft is out next week. CCC finished the midweek league for another season last night. [...]

Bank holiday

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

Had an eventful bank holiday weekend. Spent Friday and Saturday nights in Keswick. Did nearly ten miles walking on Saturday and Sunday. Keswick was a good place to visit though I don’t think it would be very comfortable at the height of the season. Enjoyed the Cumberland Ale, a good hoppy flavour. Probably the last [...]

SFA at the Union

I spent Saturday at the wedding of Rhian’s cousin. Had a great time though I managed to strain a calf muscle dancing! Great new album from the Super Furry Animals.
