    you should definately visit the left bank. i did a residency there. it does live music every night, it's got a really nice atmosphere and it's a funky looking bar. it's off guthrie street and down some steps. lovely lovely place. don't miss it

    i was there, obvioulsy!

    i thought running late were ok...maybe they need to come across a little stronger, i duno, there was just something missing.

    i thoroughly enjoyed myself when playing with my band, we are now called quietude by the way. but luckily the guys are very patient and don't mind being referred to as claire hamilton band.

    the shakes were cool. am liking the harmonica.

    and the usuals. they make my night!

    oh my, haven't seen such energy and enthusiasm from three bands in a long time.

    the last band? fantastic, the sexy girl boy girl boy combo worked really well, like fleetwood mac after having visited cyberdog in camden, gone on a shopping spree and celebrated their genius with lots of strong cups of coffee. i honestly could not guess any influences from their fresh sound.

    band number two were passable, impressive use of the drum machine to make people sit up and listen for their first song but comedy antics like the solo of super mario bothers does not make up for the need of a few more hours in the studio.

    band one, a few more hours in the studio? yes. a drummer who can keep time? a singer who can stop shouting (you'll ruin those vocal chords if you conduct conversations like that)

    tsk tsk. but not bad for an opener. not bad at all.

    what did anyone else think?

    hey

    thanks for all your comments. i'm very much looking forward to sunday.

    i think it's fairly worrying that a large percentage of people will only listen to a specific genre of music. specifically in the case of 13, 14 year olds who will only listen to emo/punk etc, because it's a very eiltist attitude to have. There is so much fantastic music out there. The sound engineer and I have become friends. But the friendship started badly because i walked into the room and said, "What the hell is this crap music, turn it off!" It turned out to be a very talented band. My personal taste is very different from his, but conversations with him have reinforced what i think about music. In my opinion, music is an artform, and you get; for example; pop art and visual art, just like you get pop music and indie music. I think open mindedness (in music) is the key its enjoyment! Do you agree milner?

    I was in a spoof punk outfit when i was 16 (Paralysis) and i loved every minute because it was so much fun. But I grew up on the musical influences of my parents and branched out from there. (to cut a long story short see my biography page)

    I was fortunate enough to catch Emma's solo stuff when i went to see Simon Gall band at Drummonds and I am thoroughy looking forward to hearing her perform again.

    difference

    what you said pretty much suggested you'd do anything as long as you were being paid sweetheart, just doing your job they way THEY want you to do it. what real difference does hair dye make to whether or not he can do his job properly? do you have dyed dair? if you do i bet your work hasn't complanied about it, because you're female.

    nope

    pumpkin_queen13 hey, if thats what your work want from you, then give it to them. whole point of work is to get paid and do your job the way that THEY want you to, they are the ones that put the pennies in your pocket. you dont have to look 'different' all the time.

    i completely disagree with that. pumpkin queen, if your work wanted you to do something completely, for example, immoral or degrading, would you do it simply because they pay you and you feel you have to do your job the way THEY want you to do it? that leaves no room for helpful suggestions from members of staff who probably know their scummy jobs better than management. This has nothing to do with looking different, plenty of people have red highlights.

    Graeme, are the girls allowed red highlights? I'm sure they are. It's sexist. You could kick up a huge fuss about this if you set your mind to it. incidentally, where do you work? Forget the digital camera idea, it's a bit daft i reckon. If you work somewhere where you have to look incredibly respectful, like a funeral parlour, then maybe you should consider having them dyed out. If not, stick to your guns. My work wouldn't allow pink hair, that's more understandable, but red highlights?! pah!
