french_disko Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Jesus! That was a quick reply. Glad you were there French Disco - did you enjoy?Yeah, it wasn't a bad way to spend a Thursday lunchtime - bowl of soup and a couple of pints. The band weren't really my type of thing, to be honest, but they were pretty tight and had some decent hooks. Shite, did I just write that... how muso.....

Shite, did I just write that... how muso.....[/quote']A pretty accurate description though - speaking to the band after they stressed that they are more a night time kind of act and that the lunchtime show hadn't done them justice. They are good at what they do though and the 3 part vocals worked really well at points.Tomorrow's guest Nils Elders will be a bit more laid back. Some of his tunes are accessible herehttp://www.nilz.co.uk/hear_txt.html - though it'll be a much more stripped down version tomorrow.

Jamie Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Gentleman's Pistol were excellent, like a much heavier Kings of Leon - good song titles too, and I'm pretty sure their bassist is our first ever lunchtime guest to have done a Steve Harris "aiming" of his bass at the audience.Only caught one of Josiah's songs, but it was pretty damn good too.

Jamie Posted December 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I've been the last 2 weeks, and thoroughly recommend it. Can't make Alamos, sadly as I've to move a cooker for my folks tomorrow afternoon.Excellent reason - practical, philanthropic (assuming you're not charging them that is), displaying family loyalty and repsect for elders.... and kitchen related! Question is though Alan, would you move a cooker (or any other kitchen appliance) for the rogue-ish uncle you were singing about at Snafu last week?

Alan Cynic Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well....I'm a forgiving type, so I probably would, but my aged mother would probably use it to "bile his heid", if the old bugger was still alive:up: (He was a thief and a bigamist, and caused my lovely old granny to take in lodgers all her life).I would happily move a cooker for Alamos though (especially if it was a Baby Belling!).
