Caught Tom Vek at the Black Lion last night who have a pretty strong line up of free shows again today. Bernard Butler also played yesterday. Worth a look.
Vek was superb.
Plenty going on today, will head to Mr Bongo who have Luke Una, Damien Harris on. All day 1-8. Will be great in this weather
Proper nice evening watching Bill Ryder Jones last night at Chalk. Even got to the front so we didn't have to watch the gig through some wanker's phone screen.
15 songs, 5 man backing band, played hour and a half and all for less than 20 quid. Home by 10:15. Bosh.
Going back for more when he...
CASISDEAD at Chalk last night was fun. Rappers at Chalk always struggle and it took a couple of tracks for this to get going but enjoyable after that.
A slight element of menace about the show and a proper mosh pit.
Nice.

His tour is finished now but highly recommend...
Greentea Peng tour cancelled. Seems there is quite a financial risk to the artists at the moment, which some just can't afford, if there is a band involved.
DJ Shadow tonight at the Dome supported by Grime super producer Future Utopia. Probably won't bother with Future Utopia though like. Shadow is playig for nearly two hours which is plenty long enough to spend in the Dome if you ask me.
