Festival: Halt Bar Hijack Festival

[monkey star]

This is friday, we are onstage around 10, theres dj's on after us into the early hours, playing pretty much anything. Ryan come take pik chairs and I'll make sure you get a fair share of cider in you. I tik it starts off around 2pm, so all you reviewers get on the case.

I have a fear that I may be at the Carling Academy for Queensryche at 10pm on Friday.

I'll ask them to finish up early.

People keep telling me that I have to see Punch & the Apostles. This may be a good way to do so.

I know nothing about them, but a free gig is always good, if they aren't your thing at least you are surrounded by enough fine places to drink, and not make your trip a complete waste.


But I think you might like the Gummy Stumps.

YouTube - West Side Story-Tonight (Ensemble)

[metallideth]

Pure shengus about VOM being on so early. I'll be up about 9ish so you can fill me full of rock'n'roll.

[monkey star]

We have guest players tonight, so we should sound better

[Woolies]

looks like there'll be a good chance I can make the last couple of bands at The Halt tonight after all & I guess it's on my way home anyways...

[monkey star]

It's where someone knows your name.

YOU DO!

I'm working so will miss them sadly but they are playing at the ashton lane stage of the west end festival on Sunday at 5pm also.

[Woolies]

I totaly missed the whole thing yesterday but might get down again later tonight.

Friday I managed to get there 5-10 mins before Black Rat Death Squad.
Good stuff, highlights obviously being Bryan falling on his arse after jumping from the stage, Sancho breaking a light hanging from it atop the bar - and it getting fixed during the same song! - and also, stage dives & crowdsurfing the the wee Halt 2 is something I'm still not convinced I should believe my eyes/memory that it actually happened!

Got a couple of pics to share after the weekend has stopped

[Charlicat]

My weekends stopped, hurry up.

I’m gonna head along for this, then shift round to one of the other street stages to catch Big Vern & the Shootahs.
