- Gigbeth, it’s some gigs, in Digbeth – It is! And I’ll be there with bells on! I can’t wait. Like Jon Bounds, I’m looking forward to seeing the 4Talent line-up and The Destroyers. If you’re a fan of The Destroyers, catch Mama Matrix at The Rainbow tomorrow night, who are in the front bar as part of the Consider It Done Gigbeth Fringe event. I remember seeing them years ago when they were ‘Mama Matrix and The Destroyers’. Not sure why they split into two, but both bands are still of a similar, mental vein.
- Another Byte Of Banality: S.A.D Blog Entry – Poor, depressed Midge. Perhaps he’s coming down with this cold that’s working its way around Digbeth. Yes, I like to break the big local news – there’s a cold going around Digbeth. All the dancers at ACE dance and music are coughing away, including my flatmate. This does not bode well for my big Gigbeth weekend and I’m not happy about it!
- LIVE REVIEW: Release The Bats – ATP/Capsule Halloween Party – 1st November @ Custard Factory, Birmingham – A review that’s caused some rather angry reactions for saying OM were ‘total shit’.
- The Next Social Media Surgery for Voluntary Organisations in Birmingham. – The last ‘one-off’ went so well there’s to be another on Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 5.30pm to 7.00pm in BVSC.
- Custard Factory – Punch announce BASS09 theme: Inspired by Africa and Africans – ‘The aim of this year’s theme is celebrate and explore Africa’s influence on the arts scene. Working with mainstream and grassroots organisations, we will also be encouraging a broad range of audiences to participate in and experience the global impact of African cultural expression.’
Thanks for the concern, actually feeling better today and a bit chirpier, can’t/won’t make Gigbeth but will be going to the Chavfest Xmas lights switch on.
