A few of my better pictures from seeing Heaven 17 at the Roundhouse last week. A truly awesome show by a truly awesome band.

A little more of this is needed
I took this from the beer festival last Thursday. I could really use a few of those today.
H17, awesome
Saw them at the Roundhouse on Friday. Awesome. More about that soon I think.
One Night Stan
Another show I saw at Edinburgh this year. Whilst I’m not a massive Laurel and Hardy fan I really enjoyed this production. It was a one man show about the last night that they performed.
One last picture from the Ethometric Museum
One last flyer from the Ethometric Museum from Edinburgh.
And some more about the Ethometric Museum
This is the little pamphlet that was given out at the beginning of the show. Awesome.
About The Ethometric Museum
I was at the Edinburgh festival at the end of August this year and saw a bunch of shows. Some good, some not so good, some amazing. The Ethometric museum fell into the last category without a doubt.
We arrived at the venue and waited for the start of the show. We didn’t know what to expect at all. Just before the show was about to start a woman in a tweed suit asked us if we were here to see the Ethometric museum. We went with her out of the venue and around to the back of the building. She explained that we would need to wear hard hats for the duration of the show.
We went into a cellar under the building that was dimly lit and filled will racks of strange looking old machines. They looked like something out of the 1950’s. The woman gave us a 5 minute talk about the Ethometric museum and then explained that we would need to be completely silent during the demonstration.
What followed was an incredible performance of noise makers and synths that I absolutely loved. It was a triumph of making and music. The instruments were so beautifully made and the sounds so unique, it was a superb experience.

The Summer in Programmes (3)
I’ve posted about the environmental fair before, but it was a great day with some great bands too. I try and go every year, and it’s worth it.
The summer in programmes and catalogues
There are various regular things I do over the summer, and by the end of it I usually have a bunch of programmes, catalogues and the like left over. Here’s the first of the summer, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
This year it was ok, not amazing, but ok. There were one or two things I really liked, and I’m glad I went, it’s a tradition really.
