 Tuesday night finds me down at Camden's Dublin Castle to see Patchwork Grace.  Fortunately tonight (unlike their other recent Camden gig) there are no local drunks who don't 'get' Tori's act - the point being that it is an act - a performance!  This being a well known and dedicated music venue, the people here are actually proper music fans rather than the random casual crowd that wander into free shows in pubs. And tonight they are treated to a really good pop/rock band in action playing some quality songs. And the crowd like what they see and hear.  Patchwork Grace continue to evolve, and their more obvious early influences like Queen Adreena and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are now fading more into the background as the band develop their own identity.  The band give their customary good performance - they know there is no point driving all the way down from Nottingham and being crap. They are out to impress, and that's exactly what they do.  An enjoyable evening as usual at the Dublin Castle, and very reasonably priced both on the door and at the bar compared to most other Camden dives - even the lethally strong Weston's cider is cheaper than a bottle of Newcastle Brown at most London venues.  |
These Blogs mainly deal with the countless gigs I go to, but there is some other stuff in there too - and the odd rant! I've just finished adding over 900 of my old posts from MySpace on here - everything is now on proper chronological order from 2005 to date - there is a LOT to read. Some of the older links may not work anymore - just click on the highlighted text for links to more info.
