someone who's doing some things
Things are going on all the time!, This category is about things I’ve been to or sometimes would have liked to have been to. Also, it’s about events I’m a part of or have had some hand in running.
I’ve been enjoying listening to their new album today on Spotify as it was only released today, and so I popped along to Rough Trade East to see them tonight at Rough Trade East. I’m always impressed with the sound there. It’s a nice little venue for small gigs, and I’ve to a few there already this year.
However, what I’m really looking forward to at Rough Trade next is Record Store day! More about that later.
I went to see this group the other week and really enjoyed their musical styles. This was the first time I’d seen the group although I have seen / heard similar styles like this before. It was good, fun and they certainly are very talented indeed.
I’m a big fan of Record Store Day. I’ve been going for a few years now. It’s a fun event and you can end up getting some great records. Of course as we get closer to the day there will be more news about which labels are releasing what albums for record store day this year.
Last year I picked up all the things I want to get in the end, but I wish I’d had a bit more time on the day to stay and watch some of the live performances and just mooch around a bit too.
Arduino day is just over a month away now. It’s on the 28th of March. You can find details here. My nearest event is at the South London Makerspace. So I might head over there on the day.
This was a lovely performance by Hildur Guðnadóttir at Cafe Oto last night. Quite inspiring and beautiful. It makes me want to listen to her music again and remember just how delicate and wonderful it is.
It has also given me a bunch of ideas that I want to try out as well, which was a nice added benefit.
This was a nice little gig and a great venue, if tiny!
Well, I’ve got my tickets for the world premiere of this. Really looking forward to it.
Since I first heard Martyn Bennett’s Grit I’ve been a fan, and so sad to know that his untimely departure means we will never hear anything new from his amazing musical talent. Even so, it’s good to know that his musical legacy lives on.
I wish I could’ve been there for this, but even though I can’t I’m just glad that it’s going on.
Just some pictures and a nice selfie too. It was an excellent gig, really good to see him live.
I thought I’d post this as it has a little bit about SoundLab in it and it’s a great celebration of what the Beautiful Octopus Club is all about.
