Ooh I've met Fay Hallam, she seemed very cool. Not sure I want to be stuck in the Town Hall with 500 mods however ...

Thought you'd be all over the Mods Mayday event Sarge... Didn't realise The Selecter were due in town, might have to see about getting to that with Mrs M.

me too - she is, ( interviewed her several times for my dayjob over the years) ..... albeit with 2 ex-members of Makin' Time now in The Deep Six , and there is a bit of 'controversy' with Fay playing a few dates under the name Fay Hallam's Makin' Time, I wouldn't expect the two acts to feature on the same Tour dates

* if memory serves Makin' Time played Oxford a couple of times in the early 80s, - maybe Im misremembering( I may be), one of those visits maybe been at Oxford City's White House Ground social club? ... Im sure they, Makin' Time, played at The Jericho Tavern once, or twice, in the early 80s

Oxford Town Hall -April 16 ... From The Jam doing a 'Sound Affects' show.... with support from The Selecter plus ( on some tour dates) The Vapors and The Truth


Mods Mayday tour? ... not for me, Ive seen all the bands many times over the years, and when they were at their peak, sad but true, most of them are tribute bands to themselves now ... I prefer to see the likes of Stone Foundation ( new album out in March ) , or The Sha La La's ( new single out in March)

I see that in my part of town promoters are starting to put gigs on in new places - Florence Park community centre, the Port Mahon, the Gladiator Club. Hopefully a sign that live music will continue to adapt and thrive.

I'm tempted to go to Florence Park Community Centre to see Cassels tonight.

Went to the Florrie Park CC last night for Cassels. They were awesome, incidentally. Organised by Divine Schism. Gappy Tooth have started their monthly slots at the Port Mahon (although they cancelled the first one in January). Bring your own PA, apparently! I don’t know the Gladiator?
