Weblogger doesn't post for a whole week...
I've a good excuse this time as the back bedroom (where the slowthrills computer lives) was flooded and had to be abandoned. We've since got a new ballcock and all is back to normal.
Last week's Butterflies of Love/ Desert Hearts show was a helluva good night though, and whilst I enjoyed the Butterflies, I think everyone agreed that Desert Hearts blew them offstage.
Not much else happened in the rest of the week but the next seven days are busy busy busy, largely due to BBC Radio 2's visit to Belfast. All events are free, but all the larger ('On-Air') events are sold out and only people with tickets can attend. The smaller 'fringe' events will be filled on a first come first served basis.
The bands that interest me are...
Sat 21st The Amazing Pilots, Katy Dalys, doors 9pm show 10pm
Sun 22nd Suede + Electric Soft Parade + Goldrush, Limelight, 7.30pm, free - advance tickets only
Sun 22nd Robyn Shiels (supporting Veronica Rivera), Auntie Annies, 8.30pm, free - first come first served
Tues 24th Somedaysbetter (supporting Invinyl) Katy Dalys, 9pm, free- first come first served
Wed 25th Desert Hearts + Kidd Dynamo + Corrigan, Limelight, 9pm free- first come first served
Wed 25th Go Commando (supporting Indigo Fury), Katy Dalys, 9pm, free- first come first served
Thurs 26th James Yorkston and The Athletes + Stephen Hero (ex-Kitchens of Distinction), Errigle Inn, 8.30pm, free- first come first served
All information is based on the Radio 2 official listings, and don't forget that there are a lot more events on than I've mentioned on this site.
