Each to their own, I suppose..........I really liked the juxtaposition of Cuts/Simon Gall band.....sort of like sour & sweet, but both great...............isn't that what Fudge is all about (although I'm a real Johnny-come lately here!!).

You're not usually so negative, Cloud......what's up?????

Yeah, I mean, the idea is fine in theory, but going from being highly amused with SPD, to being entertained with the Cuts, to being confused in a bad way with Simon Gall really messed up the night for me - Fair enough, they're really good musicians, but it seemed really inaccessible. I mentioned to someone how I'd probably have enjoyed them far more if they were part of something else, it just seemed utterly out of place.

I suppose one way of looking at it is that it was a gamble that didn't really pay off - you never really know how these things turn out until you try them. Bold move by Fudge all the same, but I can't help but think that it showed that too much diversity can kill a gig dead. Maybe the Lemon Tree would be an excellent venue to see the Simon Gall band, but they..how to put it..it was like the atmosphere was flat (common problem with Moshulu gigs, it seems) and then the Simon Gall band killed the room stone dead.

As for what's up, I've just decided to be a bit more vocal in my criticism I'm starting to think that it's Moshulu as a venue rather than anything else though - it just doesn't seem to work for gigs that would be far better off in places like Drakes or Kef.

I'm going to close by saying that Fudge should take their 5th anniversary as a sign to go forth and be bold

I saw them in Drakes and it was ace

Who were they playing with in Drakes? I'd be curious about seeing them there..and in all honesty, they'd probably seem a million times better due to the intimate atmosphere and all that..

It was with 67, but I dont think they were called 67 at that point!

They played with 67 quite a while back and I was made a fan of both bands. Jazzier and more acoustic than a lot of things at Drakes the pair of them but I'd definitely recomment checking them out at Drakes or perhaps the Blue Lamp [I've never made it there though] as a more intimate atmosphere definitely suits them

Oh, and saying that you'd like to swing for someone hardly puts you across as being intelligent. He had a valid point, I thought the last couple of Fudge nights have been pretty poor compared to ones in the past, but the venue has a lot to do with it, I suspect the nights would have been far better at Drakes than at Moshulu.

Incidentally, the only person making a prick of themselves here is you =)
