Another day of quality music courtesy of Hello Goodbye. Sandy Dillon dropped in to the show for a quick half hour of songs from her excellent new album, accompanied by a wonderful vintage casio keyboard and a small unnamed string instrument possibly of Vietnamese origin. She's a true survivor and spoke cheerfully of death, cancer and the horrific effects of MRSA. Hopefully she'll be back on the show again soon with her whole band. We also had a great session from Brighton duo The Sticks, who went on to give a superb performance at the Betsey Trotwood last night, along with The wondrous Bronsteins, who had to contend with a drunk (no, not me) in the audience testing everyone's tolerance levels of twattery to the limit.
He'd been taken home by his embarrassed girlfriend by the time the mighty Bib took to the stage, which was a shame in a way, as I'm sure Duncan would have had some fun with him. Readers in Australia will be disappointed to learn that '24 Hour Supermarket' no longer features in their set, but they were nonetheless on fire last night, with Duncan's Ian Curtis dancing getting more and more impressive with every show. Add to this the fact that he was clearly in pain, putting out an appeal for some Lockets a couple of songs in, and you realise what a consumate performer the man is. Yes miss!

WHAT?! That's an outrage. No 24HrSprmkt (as we in the 24HrSprmkt Fanbase like to refer to it). That's it, I'm never coming back to Blighty!
I'm only going back for the gigs meself. Awful country, magnificent music. Thank f*** there's people left to take care of it. I think the 24HrSprmkt got shut around 1985. Shame, it was handy for when you'd run out of fags. I wonder where the bag lady went?
