12 Bar

Great night at the 12 Bar. Salt & Blue gave a mesmorising performance. Jess plays the Hurdy Gurdy, which is a sight to behold as well as an amazing thing to listen to. Hamilton Yarns were sublimely charming and Tea and Toast Band, dressed like some kind of Woodland Creature Klansmen, got everyone chanting the word 'bicycle' with complete abandon. Hunting Lodge were probably at this point wondering what they were doing on the bill but gamely took to to the stage to up the volume level by about 500% for an intensely excoriating performance. They are a truly extraordinary band - it's not every day you see a man in his underpants playing a kitchen sink but it all seemed to make complete sense. Shame on the people who chose the last tube home instead of watching them.
