Beans on Toast.

Thorington Theatre.

A really good evening. Thorington Theatre is a fantastic outdoor space, first time visit, but not the last.

It was a Beans and friends evening: Jack Francis, She Drew the Gun, before Beans himself (with Ten Sheds on the keyboard).

Loved it.

Fifth gig of the year, goes in at number two:

  1. Frank Turner
  2. Beans on Toast
  3. The Bug Club
  4. Los Campesinos!
  5. The RnR Show

  2. The Bug Club
  3. Los Campesinos!
  4. The RnR Show

‘Los Campesinos!’

Epic Studios

The 11th evening of entertainment, but surprisingly, only the third gig of the year. I’m not a mega Los Campesinos! fan, but I have a friend who definitely is! So we were treated to a night out in Norwich to watch the band.

It was an entertaining evening, although I must admit it is strange going to see a gig when you don’t really know the words to any songs.

Having said that, album has been purchased and will be investing some time having a listen.

It makes number two in the ‘gig chart’:

  1. Frank Turner
  2. Los Campesinos!
  3. The RnR Show

Today’s picture is a record: Noah and the Whale. It was what I was listening to this afternoon.

I was inspired to get it spinning thanks to BBC Sounds and ‘Tracks of my Years’. They had Marcus Mumford on it and he was talking about the music scene he was involved with, including Laura Marling, Florence and the Machine, and Noah and the Whale.

Noah and the Whale made it to the turntable first.
