Icarus club

Went to a fabtastic music club on Thursday check out The Icarus Club at The Station Hotel Hither Green London SE13 every Thursday. It's also free admission! Not exactly an "open" mic, as all the acts are pre-booked. It is a showcase for new talent. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic sound quality, these guys really know what they're doing. All the acts were fantastic. The biggest hit for me though was a young duo called PACER unbelievably good guitar & bass with intricate weaving of harmonic structured melodies that are rare in modern rock/pop music. Here are a few photos that I took.

I'm a poet

The British Oak is a strange affair
The landlord is never there
The locals like to read old papers and smile
Some have dogs
"I'm just out to walk the dog luv, may be a while"
There are clean bogs
There are plugs
The amplifier fires up
My lager deserves a final sup
I need to learn driving
The folk club is thriving. The ceiling is bare
Lynne isn't there, Richard Russell is buzzing. Some good new faces appear
It's great to hear
The return of Gordon with his mandola and John Lee churning out musical waves on the hurdy gurdy. Welcome back also to Neil sporting a Flying Burrito Brothers T shirt!!!
