Blue Sand came back on stage, I thought my lungs would burst and my heart explode in my chest, as they played the first few chords of Wrong Trousers. A proper encore from Blue Sand; something I've never witnessed before. Incredible, overwhelming, choose any superlative to describe the trip to Liverpool, none would do justice to the magic that we experienced that night.

Absolutely mega Park and Ride and Blue Sand kick ass! They really rock I love 'em. Khagool were also good. Excellent, excellent, every band was brilliant like, know what I mean? They had a good crowd behind them and excellent, excellent brilliant! Park and Ride are as good as Kebab and chips.

Couple from Liverpool: It was good I enjoyed them I've never seen or heard of the bands before. We enjoyed them really I didn't think they were too bad...I thought the sound quality was a bit like the Cavern's usual...the drums too loud and the vocalist sounds a bit too loud but I enjoyed the songs though I did enjoy the songs. I then asked them about what was great about living in Liverpool... The art, everything about the art, because they have so much. It's the culture, ha ha ha ha, the music and the alcohol.

Look out for the double Aside single featuring Park and Ride and Blue Sand to be put out in conjunction with U.T.I. (Under the Influence) Many thanks to Dean and Gups, for organising this leg of the Manners Cost F*ck All tour. Thanks also to my fellow passengers on the coach, we had a ball; I hope you all think so. I swear down, I feel quite emotional about you all. A special mention must go to the Driver Dave, who stoically put up with all the noise and other unruly behaviour, not usually associated with coach riding.

To Park and Ride a massive cheer for being great guys, the same goes to Blue Sand. After being dropped off I walked home at 3am on the Sunday morning. I bumped into a guitarist outside Piper Newland Avenue: it turned out to be Chris from The Morphines. He played awhile then bid me a fond farewell; proving once again that the Hull crowd is the best.

Park and Ride will be appearing at the following: Wednesday the 2nd Jan Dj-ing at Rhythm Room, Thursday the 3rd at Asylum Friday 11th Howden City Hall and Tuesday 22nd Adelphi. www.bluesand.biz www.Khagool.com www.influentialrecordings.moonfruit.com www.cavern-liverpool.co.uk

Music Reviews - The Zutons and Little Flames at Asylum - Monday 18th October By Andy Dykes, Photos by Darren Rogers
	The sky is black and clear tonight. This means that for the first time in a while, the stars are being given the chance to shine on Hull. This also means that it's pretty bitter outside. Inside Asylum tonight, it doesn't seem to be any warmer. Maybe that's why so many people are huddled together so closely? Or maybe Read more...

Music Reviews - The 22-20s, Cathy Davey and Willy Mason - Thursday 14th October - Sweet n Sour at The Welly By Andy Dykes, Photos by Darren Rogers
	Outside The Welly Club tonight, people huddle together or dance absent-mindedly on the spot. It's dark and it's cold. But there's good reason to be braving the elements tonight. The buzz surrounding The 22-20s is increasing so steadily, it's becoming more like a roar. And the interest isn't lost on the good people of Hull who flock Read more...

Music Reviews - Park and Ride, Blue Sand and David Devant and his Spirit Wife, SweetNSour 7th Oct By Michelle Dee
	Arriving at 9pm the Welly looked bleak and unpromising. A few people stood between the cold metal railings used to slow down the club-goers in their desire to get inside. Mo, my photographer for the night, and I dutifully joined what was the makings of a queue. With a rail on either side we were not unlike lambs or pigs Read more...
