Tramlines day 2 -an interesting evening of ethereal, improvised nu-jazz, alt rock and some rock’n’roll. At The Three Cranes (Inclusion Principle and Frostlake), City Hall Ballroom (Basement) and Frog and Parrot (cant remember). Would have gone to grime event at 02 with my sons but my blagged pass didn’t prove worthy, so bouncers said no!

Spent the afternoon on a pub crawl around Sheffield with Jane and Sue and then in the evening saw a couple of gigs as part of the Tramlines festival
Explorers at the Forum
and Formation at Bungalows & Bears
I witnessed Das Rad’s first outing (comprising Steve Dinsdale, Martin Archer and Nick Robinson)…a fusion of treated guitar, wind instruments and drums with a smattering of keyboards. They performed a set at Bishops House this evening…Not bad at all.
Support was an excellent electronic feast of loops and modulation by Jez Creek playing as Modulator ESP.

Absolutely bouncing around at the Rocking Chair to The Tea Street Band, a group I’d not seen or heard before but where headline one I had seen before, Ordnance. Great gig, followed by onward drinking session in Devonshire Cat and The Green Room with Nicola Feetham and Debra Stratford.
At Lescar Hotel to see Robert Baker performing with Simon Elliott-Kemp and George Rogers as their new project Moon Furniture Pathogen. Two sets performed with some very interesting soundscapes, categorised as Lizard Conspiracy Lounge Music.
Went with Nicola Feetham to see Bluetones live at Rock City Nottingham. Arranged to meet my good friend Anna Wharton..it’s been ages! Bluetone were great live…and then we went back stage and I sat and chatted with Nigel from Dodgy, while Nicola got friendly with the Morriss bros.
A tranquil evening listening to the beautiful voice of Anne Garner at hagglers Corner in Sheffield with Gerald Garratty, Rose Otter and Debra Stratford.
This was Anne’s set list
New Model Soldier played possibly their last gig as singer David Kurley says farewell due to upcoming migration to Portugal. The band supported David’s other act, Babyshambles. Good set from both followed by a night of excellent DJ material.
After the gig I bumped into Jennie and Josh. Richard Hawley was in the background behind my ear
