Inglorious at the Sugarmill tonight, think there's still tickets. Couple of guys from work going, jealous of that one. Alas I have packing to do amongst the other shit before you go on holiday |

Not exactly a gig but going to see Neil Youngs docu/film Harvest Time, 50 years in the making based on the recording the 1972 album Harvest. It's premiering at The Vue tomorrow 7pm and again on Sunday 3pm and apparently contains some unseen footage 🤞

They played a fantastic gig last summer there.

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs at The Sugarmill next month. Good stoner rock band.
Black Honey are a good band due at The Sugarmill too, but they clash with another gig I'm going to.
Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox at the Victoria Hall next month too. Swing and jazz covers of well known songs.

My daughter is going there next month to watch The Oozes for her 16th birthday. Safe enough venue for that age? As it happens, she'll also be seeing Pigs pigs pigs etc. at Bearded theory festival. |

Yeah, Hanley is like Beirut in the 80s. Cheers for that, feel more reassured now. |

Genuinely it's the only place I use in Hanley semi-regularly, stay around there, the stage or Piccadilly and they should be okay. I had the misfortune to have to venture into the centre of town in daylight the other week for the first time in probably a decade. It's a travesty that every administration over the past 20 odd years bears responsibility for. I've said it before years ago I got told by a high up council officer I'd be dead before Stoke was regenerated. At the time I thought what a prick he was. As times gone on my naivety has been exposed and I'd go so far as to say not in three lifetimes will the place change for the better. You'd have a better weekend in Chernobyl. |

Never lived in Stoke but my parents and extended family are all born and bred, so as we live 25mins down the road we were up every weekend since I was a baby visiting grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins etc. going to games with my Dad and brothers as soon as we hit 4 years old  Loved shopping and hanging out in Hanley and Stoke, playing at the potbank at the end of my granny's road. Lots of hugely fond memories of my weekends growing up. Then about 14 years ago I got a job at Towergate on Campbell road, by the old Vic site (about 500 yards from the house my mum was born in on Birks St. as it happens). First time I nipped into Stoke on my lunch hour, I was heartbroken looking at the place. So sad to see....but the people were just as warm and friendly as always. Not only a travesty but a tragedy to see an area I love be so let down over the years. Still love it though. The only thing that scared me about Hanley as a kid was that fucking spiky statue outside Lewis'. Used to scare the shit out of me! |

One of the sad things is wherever I've worked, at organisations and departments that are supposed to benefit the city and turn it around, none of the bosses who could make a difference actually live/d within the city boundaries. |

I've been going to The Sugarmill for gigs for over 20 years and never witnessed any issues. It's my favourite venue for both watching and playing. As for The Oozes, Black Honey might be another good one for her to check out if she doesn't know them. |

Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox at The Victoria Hall in Hanley this Thursday 20th. Vintage covers of famous songs. They make me like songs I don't like the originals of like We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus.
Grivo (shoegaze, post-metal) & Outlander (post-rock, shoegaze) at The Underground in Hanley on June 2nd. Outlander are great live, and I love Grivo's Elude album.

The Lymelight Festival featuring local musicians this weekend in Newcastle(-under-Lyme): I'm hoping to get down to check out a few, as I only know All the Young, and Red Hot Chili Potters look a good covers band. |

Nostalgia We were the very first band on stage which was probably inappropriate for the style of music we do and the level of musicianship between us (both the singer and I have been doing this + session work for a long time). I know there were a few bands after us that were maybe slightly less qualified lol but it was a fantastic day nonetheless and we really enjoyed all the acts. It was a fairly important spring board for us. We had only been performing for a few weeks, so we didn't exactly have a full calendar. We had a number of people approach us in the crowd and landed several good sized gigs on the day and that just grew from there. We subsequently overbooked last year and ended up doing 30-35 gigs in about 6 months which was fucking gruelling considering I work full time lol. Great experience and thoroughly recommend going. |

I recommend Meadowlake (Dutch shoegaze/dream pop band) and Hazel's Maze (absolutely rocking 70s-esque Cheshire band) in Hanley on 27th May. Unfortunately now, I already have a ticket for a festival that day.
