I never thought I’d ever play at the Belgrave. Trendy, hipster central, and a historical disagreement with management filled me with a lack of enthusiasm for the show. However, it turned out to be a nice venue and the crowd were great. Dancing, singing, and stripping off on an autumnal Thursday night is always something to enjoy. I thought we played well and we helped raise some cash for the Crisis sponsored Musicians Against Homelessness event – SUCCESS. Earlier I managed to secure some tickets for the guys who had volunteered at Leeds Tent City recently. About ten of them attended the show and it was a pleasure to meet them. For those of you unfamiliar with Leeds Tent City. It was a direct action protest run by a collective of volunteers who took it upon themselves to take on the Council in a bid to provide safe/secure accommodation to the cities rough sleepers, and they were successful. Amazing work. I hope they enjoyed the show.
Right now I ache all over and I’m readying myself for tonight’s show at Temple of Boom. Another new venue for me. We’re supporting a group called Barb Wire Dolls, I’ll report back tomorrow.
