Greetings penguins and carrots!
Big thanks to all of you who made the Cancer/Leo Party such a lovely (if a little warm) event this Saturday.
There's a lot of change going on in our city's nightlife at the moment - with Radius no longer hosting local live music (within six weeks of opening!), Limit closing as of this Saturday, Richard's Unity acoustic sessions relocating to Lisboa as of this Sunday, Brewery Tap capaigning against demolition and changes in management all over the place the city is in a great deal of flux.
In amongst all of this chaos lets have a look what's on this week to tickle your fancy while the world changes around your ears:
(as always if you would lilke to unsubscribe to this list please reply "unsubscibe")
Tuesday
Tuesday night's is time for open mic night at the Comet (Garton End Road, Dogsthorpe). Entrance is free so turn up with your ears and instruments for a great night.
Wednesday
In the second instalment of open mic sessions for the week, James Chadwick is hosting Music Jam at Xoo Bar (downstairs from City & County Club, Priestgate). Entrance is free and doors open at 8pm.
Meanwhile (and afterwards) the Pixie Folke are gathered at Lisboa from 9pm for acoustic jamming and friendly frolics. Entrance is free here too.
Thursday
Unity at Lisboa has a very special line-up this week. The Neumes are a five piece folk and jazz based band travelling all they way from Yorkshire to entertain the comm-unity here in the boro ( www.myspace.com/theneumes ). Also on the bill are the wonderful Groove Cartel ( www.myspace.com/groovecartel ) who brought this year's Grassroots Festival to such a great close a few weeks back.
The electric jam is returning to Unity this week as well so get there early (open 8pm). Entrance is free (for the last time, from next week there will be a small charge to be decided).
When Unity finishes DJ Urb will take over to bring us through to the early hours of Friday morning.
Down the road in Cambridge The Portland Arms is home to a Syd Barrett tribute night following Syd's sudden death. The line-up consists of music and videos by and inspired by Syd - including Mr Zed ( www.myspace.com/mrzed ), Skellington Stef, Brock & Opaque ( www.bandopaque.com ). Door tax is £3 (proceeds to Cancer Research).
Friday
Point of Origin ( www.myspace.com/pointoforigin123 ) are returning to Bogarts this Friday night - with live music starting at 9pm. Entrance and the funk are free, and the skanking will be smiley.
Over the road in Lisboa Contact are up for another session of experimental electronic music and techno. The line-up this time around includes BrokenShields ( http://www.myspace.com/brokenshields ) Sys-ex (www.inceptiverecords.com ) Peddlebreaker ( http://www.myspace.com/peddlebreaker ) Staticnoise (www.myspace.com/staticnoisk9) Loki 23 & DJ Horse. Doors are open 9pm till 5am.
The Brewery Tap are hosting another session of "All Funked Up" with Dj Matt, entrance is free.
Saturday
Peterborough's Punk Club, residents at the Triangle for many years, are holding their first night at Lisboa on Saturday, with a three band line-up of punk ska and oi! including The Black Maria's. Door times are 9pm till 5am.
The Brewery Tap is hosting "Cookin", with Dj Ottis providing the beats and grooves.
Sunday
Richard's Acoustic Sunday (normally held at Solstice) is joining up with Deep Roots at Lisboa this Sunday. Entrance is free and as well as quality acoustic performances the Deep Roots crew will be playing a diverse selection of grooves from hip-hop to blues to ambient. Doors are 6pm till late.
.....and Finally
Check out this link - it's a satirical video based around a song written and performed by Corneilius, who some of you may have had the pleasure of listening to at Unity a few months back or at the Grassroots Festival. The video is highlighting some conflicts of interest within the music/politics fusion led by figureheads Bob Geldof and Bono - enlightening, thought provoking and more than capable of raising a smile.
Till next time - peace love unity and respect.
