Went to see Magic Shoppe at the Lab in Northampton, they were great it just sucked that I had to leave the gig early to get the last train home which got cancelled 😬. Managed to catch a National Express coach back to Brum otherwise I’d be a bit miffed - and damp as its pissing down 😂

Travelled up to Sheffield to see the New Candy's @ Sidney & Matilda earlier tonight. It was a super gig - I'm totally loving their track Regicide - well worth checking out if you're a fan of NIN. Hopefully they'll play Brum in the future 🤞

Just seen Ernest Aines who's a supremely talented Australian singer songwriter, loving his track Yellowstone! He's playing a few more UK dates and is touring the states next year. George Boomsma was a great support act. New signed vinyl - it was my very first ever sitting down in a theatre gig 😁
