hey hey hey, I got told off by one of the forum users for nicking your thread a while ago

I guess Linnet is going to be a little busy tonight, personally 59 Violets are my favourites on that line up, closely followed by The Talks and am I the only person in Hull not to like The Paddingtons stuff? My claim to fame is giving their first single a bad review in the Hull Daily Mail a few years ago. show how much I know eh?

Hope you have a good one tonight and if there is room I might squeeze into Grapevine for a pint later.

cheers Darren, Music HQ

They used to be one of the local bands I would go out of my way to see so I am really looking forward to their set.

Long time - no email - gigs this week from Music HQ

Hi folks,

its been a while since I have had chance to email out one of our weekly gig listings as we have been so busy at the Cottingham Festival (which was a massive success) and sound engineering at the Beverley Folk Festival (great fun in the Wold Top Tent), getting involved with the upcoming Filey Free Music Festival (25th & 26th July - more info to follow) and all our regular gigs.

But here is what we have coming up this week, and its some blindingly brilliant gigs:

Tuesday 8th July - Mugwump at Sharkeys, George Street, Hull featuring the excellent Silverlode www.myspace.com/thesilverlode from Leeds playing a rocking acoustic set, they stole the show at the Duke Of Cumberland venue on the Friday night of the Cottingham Festival gaining a whole raft of new fans. Support comes from the busiest Hurdy Gurdy player I know in Dr Q, many will have seen him with Hayokee or the Axel Rose Jazz Funk Experience but tonight its a solo set featuring samples, beats and hurdy gurdy. Its a cracking gig and free entry!!!! www.myspace.com/mugwumpthinking

Wednesday 9th July - The Ninth Circle at Sharkeys, George Street, Hull featuring top local power metal rockers Heat-Ray www.myspace.com/heatraymetal with their new CD launch night, support comes from Pastel Jack www.myspace.com/pasteljack who won the last Battle Of The Bands at The Goose & Granite.
