Curry up Smithy

One year on and back to Babur with the Adams boys for Mr Smith's birthday testimonial. Well worth a trip to Brockley for the quite superb food. Thanks to all the extra pedalling the blood sugar seems to be behaving itself again - something of a relief after scaling some rather dizzier heights post-Lefkada. Respect due to Leiston Town FC for beating Lewes and making it to the first round proper of the FA Cup tonight.

Piney

Yesterday our favourite daughter of Kansas, Piney Gir (pronounced 'gear') was in session with her band The Age of Reason. And very nice it was too.

The Whole Schebang

Nice harmonies and basslines from TWS at the Gladstone last Thursday.

My mother was a friend of an enemy of the people

Just had what was quite possibly the best risotto of my life at Arancia, so all is well with the world. Haven't blogged for a bit partly because of being overworked and partly because Blogger is so crap for uploading pictures. Or maybe it's just my laptop.
Anyhoo, here's some pics from Nunhead cemetery the other week, plus the Whole Schebang, who were quite charming, on the show on Saturday. Went to the One of One gig at a car park in Great Suffolk Street on Saturday night. On the bill were Faust, Lydia Lunch and Blurt. Sadly I only managed to get a couple of shaky shots of Blurt before my camera battery gave up the ghost but it was an amazing night. There were actually more members of Gallon Drunk in Faust than there were original Faust members, but they were still fabulous and I've been on a diet of pure Krautrock ever since. I do wish I'd got a photo of Matthew leading Lydia Lunch by the hand through the crowd though.
