The Macc Lads

I went to see The Macc Lads at the Birdwell Venue near Barnsley. A rude and crude band stuck in my brain since the mid 80s. Most of their content wasn’t acceptable back then, let alone in 2026. I’ve seen…

Electric Six

Impromptu night out watching Electric Six in Leeds.“Gay bar, Gay bar, Gay bar!!”

Hans Zimmer

I saw the film score composer Hans Zimmer with a large ensemble of incredibly talented musicians at Leeds Arena on Sunday evening. So many epic and brilliant tunes from massive films he’s done. A few short clips just can’t do…

Cinema Alien Egg

I brought my alien egg to the cinema, for all the other patrons seeing “Aliens” tonight, to enjoy. It went down quite well.

Kunt & The Gang

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but for the second time in 10 years, I just had the pleasure of seeing Essex-based “Kunt and the Gang” at the Brudenell Social Club, to a sell-out performance. It’s a one man show,…

Faithless

I went to see Faithless at the Piece Hall in Halifax. It was great. Unlike the last two years when I went to gigs there in the Toy Suit, I went in normal clothes though, and didn’t get anywhere near…

Living Room Festival Night

I now feel prepared for a bit of Faithless at the Isle of Wight Festival, via Sky Arts this evening, in my living room. Beer, candles, disco ball, laser, fog machine, coloured LEDs. Let’s have it. A nice warm up…

London Toy Suit

It finally happened. The Toy Suit in London. Yesterday I walked round in normal clothes, but today it was over 12kg of discomfort for 11 hours. Probably not as much fun as wearing it up north though either.

Massive Attack

Fatboy Slim

I wasn’t really going to acknowledge becoming 50. I can barely get my head round that and I don’t like it. I haven’t done anything today, but last night I did pay too much to see Fatboy Slim at the…
