My bass or yours?

Impending fatherhood and mountains of marking have made the Badger a bit slack on the blogging front once again of late, so here, better late than never, are the last two Saturdays. Pub Pop at the Miller was a cornucopia of remarkable bassists, with Georgie from Plug playing the casio with her feet in a most impressive display of multi-tasking. Not to be outdone, Rose Kemp's bass player opted for the over-arm approach to his instrument, to very good effect, it must be said. T-Lo and I were on the brand new wheels of steel, with Ugly Pop not being killed, but unceremoniously resurrected.Ye Gods: Life in a Northern Town, anyone?
Left With Pictures and the Soft were live and direct on last Saturday's show. The Soft are something of a super group, featuring not only the lovely Rich Nuvo once of the Teens but also ex-Bibster, Chris Kaos, now splendidly renamed Chris Kiosk. Champion!

Hit the deck

Busy week at work means I've been slogging rather than blogging so here's a quick catch up on the last 10 days or so. The Rayographs and Charly Morris were in session last Saturday. Ton was in town from Barcelona, which was a good excuse to check out the Jerusalem Tavern - been meaning to go there for ages...fantastic pub. Ed and Jenny from the Mules were in session yesterday and then the full Mules plus the Rayographs and Charly again put in superb performances at Richard's new Pub Pop night at the Miller in Snowsfields. Me and T-lo were on the deck (just the one!) for a spot of proper old-school 1960's youth club dj-ing.
