Ash were great fun at Newcastle Boiler Shop last night, mixing up a top selection of hits with their new album. And I kept up my run of gig goodies with Tim's setlist.

When will any government learn that trying to placate racists to win their votes is never going to go far enough.
I saw one person reply about this whole idea with "Yeah but what about all of the ones from the last 80 years?"

Labour’s latest attack on asylum seekers is cruel & counterproductive. How does it help community cohesion to hold threat of deportation over vulnerable people? We don’t need an arms race with the hard right over asylum, we need safe routes & European cooperation #bbclaurak

Spineshank, Drowning Pool and (hed) p.e. taking us back in time last night at the Boiler Shop, Newcastle.
Have to admit I was there for Spineshank, who played The Height of Callousness in full, glad to see Jonny made it for his first full gig of the tour!

Yesterday consisted of Guisborough coming back from 2-0 and 3-2 down to win 4-3 against second placed Shildon with 3 penalties and 2 sendings off to go 6 points clear at the top. Then an evening of this. Decent day all round.

3 great nights out in a row ended with Inside No. 9 at Hull New Theatre. Absolutely brilliant, thoroughly recommended if you haven't caught it, like all the stuff they do condensed into 2 hours. And I was curious to see how they incorporated the guest star, very funny.

Eluveitie, Amorphis and Gatecreeper were a great supporting cast for Arch Enemy at Manchester Apollo last night. Pulling from different corners of metal for a diverse bill.

Arch Enemy were immense at Manchester Apollo last night, with Alissa getting into the Halloween spirit. And I caught not one, but TWO of Michael's plectrums!

I love this farmhouse and every time I walk past it I start inventing stories about it. My favourite one is where a total of four animals live on the farm but have all fallen out in extremely acrimonious circumstances so now each have their own separate garden.
