Fire at a building 100 yards away. Rescue Rooms had to be evacuated, but, thankfully it and Rock City were ok. I’m hopefuly going to the Levellers Levelling the Land 20th anniversary gig next spring, so I was a wee bit worried. Can’t imagine there being no Rock City…
[off-topic meander]
Phew. Not been to the Rescue Rooms yet, but have similarly had some splendid evenings in Rock City, as well as one less splendid one c/o an (even by his standards) irritated, surly Wayne Hussey. Would be a shame if either venue went, much less if there were any suspicion of the fire having been an insurance job (as some suspected the torching of Eddies No.8 in Birminghammight
have been).
This coming Friday sees me gigging in Nottingham once more, as it happens, albeit to the Chameleon to see Standard Fare, The Felt Tips, The Sweet Nothings (formerly The Pete Green Corporate Juggernaut) and Vom Vorton. That venue name ring a bell with either of you, TAPK, Moe?
Loves me live music, I does.

Adoptive father of two. The patron saint of lower-grade fare. A gently critical friend of point-to-pointing. Kindness is a political act.
The comparison may have come from the physical appearance and the similarities were noticed from Richard Pittman commenting on ATR today. Mr Tizzard when pressed did comment ‘No one should ever come in the same breath as Arkle’.
People need to calm down.
GC, are you some sort of hippy at heart? I dont recognise any of those bands i"m afraid but then again even the worst bands sound good at the legendary Rock city,have a great night smokin yo weed!
For the record i am The Stranglers No 1 fan but also loved The Damned, Angelic Upstarts, UK Subs, The Skids, The Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers, Cockney Rejects, Discharge, GBH,
Spizzenergi,etc recognise any of them?
Recognise every single one of those, TAPK, aye! No idea where you get the hippie idea from – I’m of no fixed musical agenda, but tomorrow night’s acts all happen to be drawn from the resurgent indie-pop / jangle movements in Glasgow, Sheffield and Nottingham itself.
Meanwhile, back on topic, and there’s every chance I could just be reading something into it that isn’t there, but has anyone else felt a certain sense of incredulity where some media interest in / reporting of Cue Card has been concerned? Incredulity, I mean, that here is a Championship-class bumper and potentially Championship-class horse in the care of a trainer usually associated more with staying chasers (and not always those with pretensions much above workaday midweek handicap wins).
I think I’d find that just a touch insulting if I were Colin Tizzard. The man’s no mug trainer of hurdlers, either, when the ammunition is there – Flight Leader, anyone?

Have a Happy Birthday GC, and as the Stray Cats would say "Rock this town tonight"! We"ll forget the Hippy hippy shake bit!

GC The Chameleon is not a bloody venue for gigs really,its a Cafe by day,next door to a Card shop,just off the Market place,i have never been but friends say it has no stage as such,its more like someones living room,apparently though the sound can be awesome and only a couple of Marshall amps will deafen you in there! It can be quite an experience in summer as there is no air conditioning either,things can get a bit roudy though so expect a sore head and black eye tomorrow! Rock n roll eh!

My kind of venue. You can keep yr arena and stadium gigs! Don’t know about rocking out especially, but I can certainly shamble (as Peel used to describe it) like a good ‘un. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z265E7fGL_k
Oh, and ta for the good wishes, kindly king. I’ll have my tithes to you in the post first thing tomorrow.

Bloody hell your Majesty! You are a proper punk rocker.
I would have thought you would have been into Queen…or is that just between the sheets!

Very good Bobby! You heard of a few of my bands then?My all time fav song is called " At the edge " by Stiff little fingers, it sums up my life as a 14yo English boy living on a Scottish Council estate in Fife! It never helped when England beat Scotland in the home internationals either!
