A little bit of GoGo Penguin live in the north to celebrate, well, life in the north. Enough said

Wonderful show from GoGo Penguin at the Barbican. Nearly caps off my crazy run of gigs. One on Monday, and then I’ll have to wait for 2026

Gary Bartz (sparkly jacket and all) is in the house

Carrying on my mammoth run of gigs (4 in 5 nights) tonight it’s the wonderful Gary Bartz at the Union Chapel. He’s aged a bit since this 1975 belter!

Not exactly close to the action, but J Mascis was fun, if very quirky tonight, and My Bloody Valentine were both wonderful and extremely loud (natch)

Yesterday’s seminar reading!

Off to see these wonderful guys alongside My Bloody Valentine tonight. Should be good and loud. Strong, fresh coffee first methinks

At work today so it’s CDs rather than vinyl. Started with a bit of Robert Wyatt and moved to a bit of blasting Los Lobos when I’d woken up. Strong fresh coffee in between

In advance of tonight’s gig, today it’s back to J Jazz. Strong fresh coffee too. Grandson enjoying the music

In advance of tonight’s gig at the Barbican, it’s the latest from Tortoise. Washed down by strong fresh coffee. Two gigs this weekend; indeed, three in four days. Hope I can manage it. 🤞
