Saw Nabooka by Verdi in the old colosseum in Verona. Quite something. Stage was, at times, like Space 1999 meets Life of Brian, and all the better for it. Quite brilliant design really.
Opera still isn’t my kind of thing but well worth experiencing.

The Commitments. Great film.

I need to rewatch it.

Quick search says it doesn't feature the N word, but I also know behind the fun 80's vibes it points out a subtle finger at the discrimination that would have been present in Ireland (and the UK) at the time.

Sing street is great & really good fun BUT it's annoying when simple things like appropriate instruments aren't used; The drum kit is way too modern. I bet they researched hair & clothes etc so why not instruments?

Incorrect instruments in films tis the hill I will die on..

Get some of that good stuff in the UK store.

I used to teach at Portway School, & can confirm they were bloody loud.
There was a lot those kids didn't know but what those sirens meant they definitely did.

Maybe You Love Rock And Roll, by Narco Lounge Combo 4 track album

A spasm of self-promotion this Bandcamp Friday. An ep of songs that can be played on the radio and songs that cannot.

I remember it used to be the Uni indoor gym until it became flats as my school used it for indoor hockey and handball (great fun both of those). But what was it before that to have such a great door?

Cotham Hill.

But please no clip on braces, they look crap & they ruin your trousers.

Bloody great gig last Sunday with #thebigr, only just recovered. Hundreds of people, loads of dancers, hot hot swing jazz all played in white & dark blue linen. S’what it’s all about daddio.

All played at the wrong speed at least once #johnpeel

That's just completely insane.

I assume it was the usual metal night at at The Gryphon & then he wrote Helterskelter?

No idea what he could have wrote after visiting the Llandoger.

Outstanding punning.

Still funny and still true.

Summer Blues… store.bluenote.com/collections/...

ah but I bet it then followed it with 'podcast superstar Robin Allender is in town', followed by footage of screaming fans, right?

Right?

he looks a bit, 'murdery'.

Blow job room surely?

You didn't mention the infamous sloping floor.

I went there about 30 years ago on a football team pub crawl. Old Market was really grim back then. We ended up at 'Seymours Family Club' for a 'Gentleman's night'. It was hideous. Seymours had a bonkers charm but the night, sheesh... still in therapy
