Today, I'm bigging up Florence and the Machine 'cos she's a local girl (Camberwell) and I think she might make good. She's playing the Bloomsbury Ballroom in May and you can buy your tickets now from Stargreen.

Today I'm plugging the Royal Festival Hall's Ether Festival 2009. This is one of those little jewels that can pass you by if you're not on the ball. Here's the link:

"Ether is a festival of art and technology that places a strong emphasis on cutting-edge collaborations and visual culture. Past festivals have featured Kraftwerk, Jonny Greenwood, Jim O'Rourke, Dizzee Rascal, Matmos, Squarepusher, Goldfrapp, Terry Riley, Pere Ubu & the Brothers Quay, Morton Subotnick, Harmonia, Radiosoulwax and the Warp Works series , in which the London Sinfonietta collaborated with artists from Shefflied's legendary Warp Records to explore the connections between contemporary classical music and modern electronica."

The lovely Florence has now sold out completely at Stargreen, which I guess is good news for Florence. She won an award last night so trade has been brisk. Still tickets at Seetickets and Ticketmaster though:

The fabulous Polly Harvey is playing Shepherds Bush Empire in April. Go.

I really recommend LEVEL ONE, not standing downstairs unless you're very tall, and I'm not. You get a better view.


Go Polly...

Florence is a very busy girl. She's supporting Antony and the Johnsons at the Teenage Cancer gig. I cannot big Antony up enough - he is divine. I would post a YouTube link but I'm at work and it's a banned site. Anyway, the last time Antony played a Teenage Cancer gig HE was the support act (Goldfrap). Tickets on sale on Friday.

If you like Rock, I bet you wish that had attended this Gig that I have just seen on You Tube:


"Rory Gallagher - Bullfrog Blues"......5 minutes of a Masterclass in how to please and engage your audience from one of the Guitar Greats!


Rory Gallagher-Man Of The People. R.I.P.

I went to see Keane at the O2 last night. I am sure it's not meant to be "cool" to like them, but I really enjoyed it anyway :-).


Realized it was the first time in about 18 years I've been to an arena gig rather than a smaller venue, atmosphere was better than I expected, though I wouldn't much have fancied being in a seated part of the arena, couldn't believe how many people stayed sitting down for most of the gig!

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
