Holiday reading

While I was away I read Matthew's Prize: Being the Tale of a Whitby Orphan Boy's Longing to Navigate the Broad Seas though I didn't know the title was so long at the time... it's about PIRATES, and it's quite good, if a bit of a blokey version of a m...

Gosport Baptisms

Might be a red herring, but I found this page of gosport baptisms - a few Clarkes and a Mary Dash too.

Oasis @ Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms

I was there at The Wedge, ace gig, and I really do remember this one, unlike the Nirvana @ Birmingham Hummingbird one I wrote up the other day...Found this bit of text from an NME interview, written by Simon Williams, quoting the band talking about t...

Key Ring Camera

Looks like one of these cameras would be slightly better than the one I've been using, similar resolution, but it holds 800 snaps... furtively took some pictures today of a guy who looked a bit odd, will post them up here later if they came out OK! T...

Train news

Hey London tube travellers, Here's a song for you. Only listen to it if you like lots and lots of swearing, and weak b3ta style graphics over a tune you've heard before mind. I'm not really that arsed about the tube strike today as, HEY, I'm well ou...

Smoked Porter wins out

Smoked Porter was amazing, a real barbecuey flavour and smell, a really good dark beer. The Black Chocolate Stout was good too, stronger, but knocked into second place by the Porter...

Music Passport

Arrived at work to a disaster this morning, some web servers not responding, including musicpassport.org and it's launch day!Not sure who is confirmed to be playing, I know The Darkness and The Cure and others have been talked about, playing at Barfl...

David Gray Passport Gig

David Gray plays a music passport show at Barfly London today... no interest in going to that. To be fair, not much opportunity either.

Music Passport

I've just been offered a possible a lifeline for the music passport gigs - each member of staff can enter a seperate draw to win tickets (as we're disqualified from the text in competition), there's one pair for each show, and we have five entries ea...

Ash Passport Gig

Ash play a music passport show at Barfly London... Ash have done warm up type shows at Barfly before, so not interested in going to this one, seen them too many times.

The Darkness Passport Gig

The Darkness play a music passport show at Barfly London... Not sure whether to use up one of my competition entries on them, as I've seen them so many times...

The Cure Passport Gig

Clare is going to insist on my using all my competition entries on this one gig... will certainly be the smallest venue I've ever seen The Cure in, it's been strictly Glastonbury only for me so far... fingers crossed!...

Darkness Music Passport review

If you are Clare's brother and you're still smarting that we went to The Cure on Friday, then please turn away now... gone? Right, we also went to see The Darkness last night, doing another Music Passport show, and probably it was the highlight of th...

I was in training all day today at Port Lympne, and what was the most exciting animal I saw? Yes a squirrel!OK I did see rhinos and a red panda on my lunch break, and monkeys by the truckload, more pictures to come. Also they messed up my lunch again...

Fun of London Transport

Cacky journey in today, missed the train, then a passenger alarm shut the Victoria line, a signal failure the Picadilly. AND, there was a drunk guy at the station ticket office, leaning on the counter like it's a bar, bit intimidating really, he seem...

Missed free booze opportunity

Apparently all drinks were free all night last night at The Lion (formerly The Tup). Gah.

ABC1

Well this new channel looks good doesn't it... all dated American comedy shows and soaps, that's just the sort of new channel we needed! It's an opportunity to see Moonlighting again from the start I suppose.243 was held up today by another motorbike...

Ffffffreezing

So, as mentioned before our office party was Friday night, actually in our office, and it seems to have been a resounding success. We had to leave early to try and get to Fareham, but so great a time was had by all they had to turn the heating off, a...

this page about Hawkwind support acts:

Goldie Lookin' Chain

At Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms, no I didn't go...

Suede

Definitely played here, supporting Kingmaker, it's in Love and Poison.

Guns n' Roses

Izzy Stradlin's last ever show. Support Nine Inch Nails and Skid Row - Sebastian Bach swore too much and got them barred for life.

James

+ Thousand Yard Stare, James were the support, Thousand Yard Stare were the headliners. I think Suede support Thousand Yard Stare in Portsmouth......

Little Angels

Secret thank you thing as "Jammy Little Devils" to make up for cancelling a gig at Portsmouth Guildhall

CANCELLED!!! Do you remember howling them off the stage when they supported The Darkness last January? Well, they're BACK! You knows it. Update: oh no they're not, it's cancelled...

Monsters of Rock

AC/DC, Metallica, Motley Crue, Queensryche, and the Black Crowes. A pretty special line up at the top of the bill, shame it was the shortest Donington bill ever. Got a coach up from Portsmouth. m/...

WASP

Not sure what day, the ticket is very faded... Zed Yago supported, this site says REM played there only two days before, I did pick the gigs to go to......

The Darkness

Big proper gig, with label mate support from Sweatmaster and Sludgefeast.

The Libertines

XFM Xmas party, watched support act The Darkness then went mad on free cocktails, don't remember the headliners.

Def Leppard

support from The Darkness and Ricky Warwick.

The Tears

Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler, weren't they in a band together before? One of the NME gigs, support included The Magic Numbers I think but we stayed in the pub and missed them all....

Brian Wilson

Yes of the Beach Boys, one to tick off the list. He was a bit unsteady on his feet but he had great support in recreating the perfect sound.

AC/DC

Special gig, we had to queue all day for tickets. Support from Hundred Reasons.

The Vines

supported by The Libertines. Two gigs in one night, think I saw either The Darkness or Neds Atomic Dustbin this day too...

Got in free because of the support, think it was Ben and Jason. Not much copy anyway.

The Cooper Temple Clause

Actually support to Sizer Barker (who?) with DNA Doll

Scarfo

Must have been someone more interesting supporting...

The Dandy Warhols

I think my favourites the 60ft Dolls supported, and then promptly split up :-(

Supergrass

MTV Five Night Stand... wish I could find more details of these online, I know the support acts were good too.

Phoenix

80s style rock, they did a Cheap Trick cover. Supported by Turin Brakes apparently, I went with Neil and Camilla....

Scarfo

Must have been someone more exciting supporting, was it maybe Hooverdam?
