- A diarising jazz musician discovers Digbeth – ‘Digbeth is very interesting. it has vintage shops, and theres this place called Custard Factory which holds an art gallery, some shops, a small broadcast radio… mini minor shops. Basically, quirky interesting things. And here I found the elusive violin shop that I’ve wanted to visit ever since I got here…Also, there is a pub by the corner of a road that is exactly like the many we saw at Stratford – all Tudor. Genuine Tudor too by the looks of it. Where they had a wider upper floor compared to the lower one.’ I wonder which pub he means?
- The exhibition and after « Rescue Geography – Phil Jones stops to take stock and look ahead at the end of the Rescue Geography exhibition.
- Release The Bats – I was too hungover from the Ikon Eastside closing party to go, but Pete Ashton made it and took some great photos. ‘The gig itself was excellent. I wasn’t too bothered with Wooden Shjips in the context but Pissed Jeans were great, Om were surprisingly suitable…and Shellac were as fantastic as I had hoped. Really tight, really entertaining, really quite scary. Thank you Jenny and Lisa Capsule for bringing them to Birmingham!’
