So the masks are coming off for Halloween once you are on the dancefloor. I was at the Wedding Present last week for a surreal moment. I could stand and dance and sing along, it was special. I was still masked up but much like the non-drinker in a group of teenagers I was very much out of step. Mask edge – maybe that’s the new movement
This weeks sees some interesting gigs with people travelling from outside the island. Billy No Mates Is in the Workmans on the 26th and TV Smith in Opium at the end of the week. Some really good nights are starting to open up. Hope to see you somewhere soon
