Sights & Sounds
I saw Shield Patterns play at the Rocking Chair in Sheffield. It wasn’t a very busy gig and I spent a while talking with one half of the duo Richard Knox who’s also owner of the fantastic label Gizeh Records.
Spandril supporting Shield Patterns providing a set featuring modular synths wired up to a Mac, all housed in a large suitcase. And fairy lights half way through the single track.
Band of Hope Union supported by Jakob at Belgrave Music Hall, Leeds with Gerald Garratty.
Walk in Derbyshire. This is from the path up to Carl Wark and shows walkers enjoying the hazy sun from over Owler Tor. I finished the day off with a superbly cooked fillet steak and peppercorn sauce at The Italian Kitchen.
Saw Wolf Alice at the Leadmill with Gerald Garraty. They were supported by the Magic Gang and Crows. Wonderful gig and great atmosphere. There were a few of us oldies but most of the audience weren’t old enough to buy a beer! Much bouncing around from a very enthusiastic crowd.
The first time I was asked to hand my camera in. Loads of people with compacts and phones were allowed to take photos, but I wasnt…sulk! Not happy with the Leadmill for that.
