Day 4 - a more intimate in the round performance tonight.

If a band drops names like Snarky Puppy and Cory Henry as influences/reference points they have to be good or stupid. I’m pleased to report that Tucan are far from stupid! Picking up on a discussion elsewhere, they also had two drummers - the second one was opposite me and a real joy to watch.

And day 5 - the late one (doors at 9pm)! Glad I went but my least favourite so far and the venue was absolutely freezing!

Anyway tonight was Warmduscher. I think I would have enjoyed them more if tonight was a standalone night out and they certainly seemed to go down well with the crowd.

Technically it’s already day 6, but more of that on Saturday night …

... Warmduscher

there you are

[ARNC]

@endo that wasn’t lost on me but it was true!

[Matt]

I will definitely be using the words milksop and mollycoddle moving forward.

Day 6 - the last one for now (and the first booked) was a great end to the week. I’ve wanted to see William the Conqueror for ages and they didn’t disappoint. Ruarri, Harry and Naomi were clearly having a great time and took everyone along with them and the venue (The Garage, Islington) was the perfect size for them.

Also the merch was on another level - an actual novel!

William the Conqueror

Didn't know before, had a listen, really cool. Thanks for the tip @ARNC

[ARNC]

@endo I really don’t know why WTC aren’t better known but glad you like them.

@ARNC I didn’t know he made music in his spare time when he wasn’t invading foreign countries

@GraemeE if this is as good as when he played in London this February you’re set for a great night - I assume you’re going!

[GraemeE]

@ARNC it will require a 3 hour drive up to Seattle but am currently strategizing

[Aetas]

Absolutely jealous @GraemeE
Playing Harmonia, Neu! and Solo stuff in one concert sounds glorious!

Have you seen the lineup at the Big Ears Festival?

[GraemeE]

@Aetas i hadn't but on first glance there are at least ten acts i would love to see

[Matt]

Jesus Lizard tonight…

[Matt]
