So here I am in Belfast, still surrounded by tons of unpacked crates, but hey, at least the computer is back to life (and connected to broadband - hello 21st century!). I have had a reasonably hellish time getting here - one damaged van, one missed flight and one bastard of a tube strike - but I'm nearly back to normal now.
July isn't known for having a major events calendar in Belfast but I ventured out last night to see the Embers and Drat in the Front Page. I was very impressed with the Embers and they got a really warm reception for what was in reality their first show in six years (they used to be Nations Spies). A full review is imminent, as is their second show in six years, tonight at Morrisons with Colin Campbell (Kidd Dynamo).
