So I saw Jim Jones Revue on Friday and the band were as ever, excellent. This was my first time at the o2 Academy since it moved from The Hummingbird (ask your dad) it was in the the academy 2, and it has to be said thats probably the worst venue I have ever been to in over 25 years of gigging. narrow, poor sound, toilets located to the right of the stage, a tiny bar staffed by 3 people to serve 600 people. Dreadful. I think it would have to be a pretty exceptional gig to get me back there, we usually see bands in manchester and it was only due to other plans that stopped us seeing JJR in the north on this tour.
Next up for me is The Delta Bombers, a **** blinding rockabilly act from Las Vegas. We are seeing them in Bristol.
