[leave a comment]@FenlandGent Best thing I've found in that NME back issue. - on the evening of 24/5/84 Black Flag & HUSKER DU played at "Peter Pipers" in Folkestone
- Anyone know of a Folkestone venue in the '80s called Peter Pipers?@FenlandGent said on twitter: @FenlandGent Best thing I've found in that NME back issue. - on the evening of 24/5/84 Black Flag & HUSKER DU played at "Peter Pipers" in Folkestone I'm guessing it's a previous name for Pipers but anyone know for sure? I got in touch with @FenlandGent but they had no idea, they were just pleased to see a mention of their favourite bands playing a double bill like that in an old NME. Anyone out there gigging in the 1980s who might have been at this gig? -

[leave a comment]- Ricky Gervais ticketsWoo, after my call for tickets for Ricky Gervais (my sister was very keen to see him in Winchester) there is a full tour including Portsmouth Guildhall (6th, 7th, and 8th of October). So that works out well for everyone then! He's also doing Glasgow, Oxford, Newcastle, Ipswich, Manchester, Bournemouth, Birmingham, Sheffield, Blackpool, and Brighton. JESUS, BLACKPOOL, NO! No London dates yet, guessing it will be a residency at the O2 Arena eventually though... Not available on ticketmaster yet -

Part of Stewart Lee week at the Southbank Centre, sounds brilliant.
[leave a comment]- Stewart Lee's Austerity BingeThis looks ace, a kind of indoor festival curated by Stewart Lee but we unfortunately have two nights away from Harry the previous weekend so we can't do it, bah. If you can go have a good time for me. We are going to Wireless festival in July, just worked out that we can get a cheap hotel and it makes sense to so we're in there. Shame the other bands apart from Pulp aren't more to my taste but it will be a good day -
