Formed in 1979 by a group already successful muscians, namely singer and harmonica player Paul Jones (from Manfred Mann) singer and guitarist Dave Kelly (worked with Howlin' Wolf and John Lee Hooker) singer and bassist Gary Fletcher, singer and guitarist Tom McGuinness (Manfred Mann) and drummer Rob Townsend (from Family). As the name suggests, they play blues - bo...

Another day, another gig. This time, it was back to the Wolves Civic Halls for the fantastic New Order. On the way I again popped into the MIller & Carter Steakhouse in Penn. This time, I tried their steak burger, with cheese and bacon, which was extremely tasty, followed by a very lush sticky toffee pudding.

Tonight was a gig I'd been looking forward to for a long time. For me, Everything Everything are the band of the year and their third outing, Get To Heaven, will prove to be a classic. After popping along to The Stable on the Harbourside for a Portishead Piggy Pizza, consisting of lashings of cheese and bacon, I made my way to the O2 Academy an djoined the queue 30 mins before the doors opened.

I swear this was the most chocolatey chocolate ice cre...

Tonight Mum and I went to Wimbledon Theatre to see the touring production of the musical Annie. Sitting next to the middle aisle in the front row of the Royal Circl, we had a fantastic view. The show was briliant, led by Lesley Joseph as Miss Hannigan. The cast of kids were fabulous too. All in all, a great night out.
