Saturday 24th December - Christmas Eve with thisisUll.com at The Ringside

In the absence of any other events for New Indie types this Christmas, with most other Indie and alternative clubs closed, The Ringside has a veritable extravaganza of live music to celebrate yuletide. Ringside plays host to a very special gig in support of one of Hull's most loved resources, your own www.thisisUll.com.

You will be able to strut your stuff until 2am with SideWinder, those stalwarts of the hull scene for many years now; front man of Turismo, Baggot will be regaling us with his tuneage; Sal Paradise will bring the excellent Joy Division meets Manic Street Preachers sound.

Also appearing are new kids on the block She Likes Parties and the hotly tipped sharp punky indie band GST Cardinals, who are a favourite at Ringside.

Not content with this huge Christmas line up, there will be a DJ set from The Liquidizer 'til 2am, so get yourselves along to The Ringside on Beverley Road to welcome in Christmas. Doors are open 8pm - 2am and admission will be £4.00

Music Reviews - Bob Geldof at Hull City Hall - Thursday 1st December 05 By Steve Rudd
	December 1st 2005, in my mind, has gone down in history as an unforgettable day. It was the day I met my biggest hero. And whoever said that to meet your hero is usually a disappointing affair was wrong in this instance, and since meeting Bob Geldof (twice in one night!), I'm filled with even more respect for the man ... the god. I never ever thought I'd get the chance to meet Read more...

Music Reviews - 3rd November - Mystery Jets at The Adelphi By Emily

Music Reviews - Kill Surf City By Michelle Dee
	The fresh five-piece from Hull have fast become the band name to drop in any discerning musos discourse. Recent months has seen them leapfrogging the opposition and quickly reaching and surpassing a few significant milestones.

Music Reviews - Night Clubs - Friday 2nd December - Regis at Pure Techno at Rhythm Room By Michelle Dee
	Friday night in the icy rain I flagged down a cab to town. My preferred late night spot tonight was Rhythm Room on Baker Street for a heady night of uplifting beats.

Music Reviews - 13th October 05 - thisisUll.com Keeping It Peel at The Silhouette By Joe Hakim Photographs by Darren Rogers and Mo
	Whenever a musical icon dies, there always follows a period where their name and image is turned into a commodity. The best current example would be John Lennon. The celebration of what would have been his sixty-fifth birthday and the impending twentieth anniversary of his death has sent the record companies and the various conglomerates that Read more...

Music Reviews - Tuesday 15th November - She Likes Parties at The Sesh By Becky
	Over the last few weeks I have watched She Likes Parties come forward in leaps and bounds.

Music Reviews - Scarborough Beached Festival 2005 Sunday By Michelle Dee Photos by Roland Standaert and Michelle Dee
	Sand beneath my feet, sounds of activity on the stage, blue skies overhead, sun blazing: a strange but rather pleasant surrounding for a gig. Amaya Huntly and Jon Neeves had the unenviable task to open the show on Sunday. An acoustician and Keyboard duo; the highlight of their set was the Credence Clearwater Revival cover where they proved with a strong number they can do a Read more...
