All Tomorrow’s Parties December 2009 – 10 Years of ATP – Part 4

Sunday. Day three of Ten Days of ATP. Day 10 and the last day of the ATP adventure.  However, after nine days of eating crap and drinking more that I’ve probably drunk since I was 18 and was just starting university, my body gives up. I finally get to see Shellac and it was worth […]


All Tomorrow’s Parties December 2009 – 10 Years of ATP – Part 3

And so to The Drones, who get some favourable time-tabling by being the first band on the Centre Stage after proceedings have finished on the Pavilion Stage for the day.  However, disappointingly the turnout for them is one of the smallest of the weekend, although this makes it easier to get to the barrier and […]

File under ‘Better Late Than Never (Maybe): Part 1’. The first day of In Between Days 2009 was all about finally getting to see Lightning Bolt.  Whilst they had played the Sunday night of MBV’s Nightmare  Before Xmas, they clashed with getting to see MBV for the third time in three days and as I […]


All Tomorrow’s Parties – The Nightmare Before Xmas 2009 – My Bloody Valentine vs ‘The Holocaust’

Back in the day, way back in March 1992 I could have gone to see My Bloody Valentine play at Whitley Bay Ice Rink on the Rollercoaster tour, where they were supporting Jesus & Mary Chain along with Dinosaur Jr and with Blur opening.  But at the time I wasn’t that into any of the […]
