Got to love the optimism that the 'Bank Holiday crowds...' would 'flock' through the turnstiles for the Cup clash with those cobbling giants, Northampton Town. Even Tommy Steele cheering the Lions on! 🙂

Scala soiree no3: Heartworms
Ms Orme enters the stage and begins with some silhouetted tai chi moves to heavy drum/bass/synth/guitar accompaniment. Loudest gig I've attended in a while. "Turn it up!" shouted a non-Shayne crowd wit. Good stuff, it has to be said 👍

Good spoof intensive tuning of a purdy green Strat for about 10 mins before stagetime, only to drop it and play an even purdier white guitar with extra shiny buttons. Made me laugh, anyway 🙂

At The Scala tonight for Heartworms.
Looking at the cloakroom and wondering:
Does anyone actually wear a cloak to gigs nowadays and should I? 🤔
And if I were to do so, then people would point at me, all elegant and shit, and say:
"Look at that fucking idiot!"
And they'd be right...

It's all just so frustrating and predictable, isn't it? For years people have been warning of the far right rising in Ireland and we've been laughed at and dismissed by the media and the government. In turn, the govt. have not acted, have treated right wing agitators with kid gloves.
