Friday 25th April 08 - Sex Pistols Experience and Complete Control at The Welly Club

Eight:Zero presents the amazing Sex Pistols Experience plus Hull's very own Clash tribute, Complete Control Live at The Welly From 10.30pm to 3.00am. Hosted by Paul Dakeyne (Eight:Zero) Tickets: £7 available from www.giveitsomewelly.com

Johnny Rotter takes to the stage with all the manic, man-possessed energy required to leave any audience spell-bound, with 'stare' and 'stance' down to perfection and an arsenal of one-liners to boot. Don't mess with Johnny, he'll shoot you down in flames! Kid Vicious posing and playing up to the crowd, fighting for attention, but only getting it from Nancy Pungent, who during his Kid Sings set might join him on stage at the microphone. He definitely does it 'his way', but unlike Sid, the Kid can play, and don't get too close or that bass might come swinging your way.

Steve Bones in his tight leather jeans, trade mark Gibson and an eye for the girls, plays, as Steve Diggle of the Buzzcocks said of him, 'A crashing guitar sound Steve Jones would be proud of..!' Paul Crook drives the whole thing along relentlessly with the powerhouse of his solid, pounding, drum kit. Always late, but never missing a beat! Sat proudly behind his Premier Union Jack drum - kit flying the flag for the Sex Pistols Experience!

Then there's Nancy, always knocking about somewhere causing trouble, can usually be found selling off T-shirts at the merch stall, sometimes the group manage to get away without telling her there's a gig tonight! So she's not always there! But if you want to stay on the right side of her - a vodka and coke will do it.!

Music Reviews - Friday 11th April - Scouting For Girls at Hull University By Gemma Durham
	Scouting for girls delivered a belting performance last Friday, it is safe to say their a 2008 success story and continue to deliver top class performances to fans. I have been lucky enough to know the band from 2005 as an original wolfcub. The band started in 2005 with lifelong friends Roy Stride, Pete Ellard, and Greg Churchouse. The success of the band is largely down to the fans, wolfcubs, and airplay by Radio One. Read more...

Music Reviews - Friday 28th March 08 - Thisisull Live featuring CrackTown, Black and White Tango and Mermaids in the Basement at the Adelphi By Michelle Dee Photos by Lucinda Livingstone Photography
	A poorly fish was I on this dank Friday night, and after a series of delays I wasn't expecting the best of nights. How wrong was I? Just after eight there were queues outside and they kept coming in until well into the second band. An odd billing perhaps, putting CrackTown on with a couple of guitar and keys exponents but one which worked surprisingly well. Read more...

Music Reviews - Live Review and Interview with Alain from Isabel At Sunset (Tea Kettle Records) By Michelle Dee
	I caught up with the Italian front man Alain on Bank Holiday Sunday evening just before his band Isabel at Sunset were due to sound check.

Music Reviews - 14th March 07 Moonbeams Acoustic Night At The Old Town Hall By Steve Rudd
	Consistently featuring a wealth of talent, Leila Slater's acoustic Moonbeams events at The Bell are becoming bigger and better affairs every time. So much so that this, the third night of its kind, was relocated from The Maple Room into The Old Town Hall in order to accommodate the crowd. First act of the evening was Jasper & Smirt, a couple of local lads Read more...

Music Reviews - Friday 29th February 08 - ThisisUll Live Featuring Spoken Word, The Rocky Nest and Hayokee Words and Pictures by Michelle Dee
	The second thisisUll gig of 08 promised a more organic kind of live music night. I am informed by the poets that they rarely have a fixed idea as to which pieces they will do in a set. The choices are made for them by the audience's reaction and response. Gauging the crowd and then responding there of is an important skill for every performer. Read more...

Music Reviews - Friday 7th March - Hull Punk Mini-Fest Featuring The Vibrators support from The Cliques Go-Go Kings Mike Watts Words and Pictures by Michelle Dee
	In a back street club in Hull, a dark dingy place that smells of piss and vomit, crazed punk fans drunk on riot and revolution, hurl themselves this way and that to raw guitar sounds and anti-establishment rhetoric. If only that were the truth. The reality however is somewhat different. Two local bands and a spoken word artist support the now aged punk Read more...

Music Reviews - Saturday 1st March 08 - Edwina Hayes at Driffield Folk Club By Steve Rudd
	It's not every day you get to see a world-class singer-songwriter perform in Driffield. Similarly, it's rare for the singer-songwriter in question to actually live in town. But then Edwina Hayes, despite her profile and enviable acquaintances in the music industry, is thoroughly modest and down-to-earth. She doesn't seem the type of Read more...

Music Reviews - Thursday 14th February 08 - Divine Sinn at Winston Churchills, Driffield By Steve Rudd Photos by Matt Rudd
	It's been a long time since Metal fans in Driffield have had a band to call their own. Too long, in fact. So, thank the devil for new quartet Divine Sinn. Not to be confused with Swedish rockers Divine Sin, Driffield's Divine Sinn have been practicing hard for the past seven months in anticipation of performing live, with this being their first Read more...

Music Reviews - Tuesday 29th January 08 - Alison Moyet at York Grand Opera House By Steve Rudd
	Striding on in front of an eye-catching stage backdrop, Alison and her backing band immediately made themselves temporarily at home on the stage. And even sat up in the rafters of the fabulously preserved venue as I was, the sight down below was one to behold. It's not very often that Alison hits the road, making this date in York one to be savoured all the more. Read more...

Music Reviews - Friday 25th January 2008 - ThisisUll Live at The New Adelphi, Hull By Benny Jenner, Life Burns Records Photographs by ChrisW Photography
	Half past eight on a Friday night, I'm stuck in Hull and I'm here at the new Adelphi club, a place I haven't been to in over eight months. Not due to my own fault I just haven't had the urge to check out many bands who play there, but tonight is different. I've been asked by thisisUll.com to come down and review three bands who played tonight. Read more...

Music Reviews - Sunday 16th December 07 - Lucy Kaplansky and Miles Cain at York NCEM By Steve Rudd
	York native Miles Cain opened proceedings with aplomb, drawing the humbly assembled crowd into his Folk-infused music with affable charm. His strong, superbly soulful voice perfectly complimented his lush acoustic guitar melodies, with the fantastic acoustics of the venue - a church, no less - Read more...

Music Reviews - Friday 28th December 07 - The Sorry Loves, Fact is Fiction and Kick Riot at ThisisUll Live at The Adelphi By Michelle Dee
	Every one of you did us proud. We thank you from the bottom of our memory cart. Fact is Fiction delivered despite their nerves and cowbell issues, they pulled it off with their forward thinking, sparkly indie sounds. A new looking band that given time, will become a regular on the local circuit. Think Pigeon Detectives but from Ull. So Kick Riot turned Read more...

Music Reviews - Thursday 13th December 07 - It's A Happening at The New Adelphi By Martin Wellbourne
	When an event is promoted as a 60s-style melange of music, spoken word, and visuals - a tribute to the sort of binge that kept hundreds of Deadheads from stinking the Frisco streets out with patchouli oil and savage body odour for hours at a stretch - the experienced reviewer grits his teeth; it will be, he knows, a mixed bag. This sort of thing, back 'in the day' Read more...

Music Reviews - Friday 23rd November 07 - ThisisUll Live at The Adelphi Featuring Awful Scenes The Cliques And The Charge By Michelle Dee
	New Brit rock band The Charge opened the night with self assured style, amidst much shouting from a whole bunch of unruly fans. It's back to the mid nineties for these lads so if you are in the mood for a window back to those mad for it days, and some rowdy optimistic sing along tunes such as Voodoo and She Goes On then these are the ones for you. Read more...

Music Reviews - Saturday 15th December ThisisUll.com Christmas Bash At New Adelphi Club With Dirty Dreamers (featuring Dave Meilhan original Dreamers drummer) The Favours, Fifty Nine Violets with special acoustic sounds from Martin Clappison By Michelle Dee
