Music Reviews - Sweet n Sour at the Welly Club 19th August - 5678's, 59 Violets and The Morphines By Andy Dykes
	I've heard tonight's openers The Morphines described as something like Ian Curtis singing with The Clash. If my musical arithmetic is correct, then The Morphines should sound something like Sham 69. And they do. A bit. While the garage rock revival grips the world like nuclear war, The Morphines hark back to an era Read more...

Music Reviews - The Babyshambles - Saturday 14th August at YoYo Indie Night At The Welly Club, Hull By Andy Coe
	All week the only talking point in the city was - Is Pete gonna turn up? And turn up he did! Last night (Saturday 14th August) at The Yo-Yo indie night in Hull at The Welly Club a sell out crowd witnessed The greatest Rock n Roll show the city has ever seen. Fans were camped Read more...

Music Reviews - The Noise Hits Hull - 106FM By Sarah Carter
	Whilst stuck at traffic lights in Witham ( Hull ) I heard a wonderful sound. No, not Dale Winton announcing my lottery numbers but something almost as good. Rock music in Hull !!!. I pinched myself and it hurt. I then saw a poster on the old pub on Read more...

Music Reviews - Yo-Yo presents Pete Docherty and The Paddingtons At The Welly - Sat 14th Aug By Steve Rudd
	The Welly Club (about a mile away from the train station and down Beverley Road, for those who might not know) is fast becoming the hottest venue in the city in which to check out quality bands, both old and new. Tonight's almost instantaneously SOLD-OUT gig was Read more...

Music Reviews - HarriWatts Band Comin' Out Party At The Lamp Wednesday 4th August By Jane Foster
	This is the first time I've really seen the Harri Watts band properly. I did in theory see them at the Lamp once before, at the Cracktown Christmas Carol last year. But that was after several flagons of fine ale and much good cheer, with a bit of rubber chicken abuse thrown in. A perfect night in my book, Read more...

Music Reviews - Sons of the Desert at the Nagshead Friday 30th July By Jane Foster
	Sons of the Desert are a 9-piece soul covers band who have been dishing out their fine meaty goods to the people of 'ull for roundabout a decade..give or take a few changes in their line-up over the years. Last time I saw them was last Christmas at the selfsame pub, and I thought they were rather grand then, so I Read more...

Music Reviews - Jaz Bar 10th August 2004 The Ludes, The Mardous, 59 Violets, The Applewhites By Andy Dykes
	The classy setting of the Old Town's Jaz Bar plays unlikely host to a range of bands tonight. The wooden floors and high concrete ceilings make Jaz Bar an unusual choice for this evening's entertainment. Combined with an absence of carpets, cushions on chairs and curtains on windows and I get the feeling that there are going to be a Read more...

Music Reviews - CrackTown, Purple Organ & Blue Sand at The Adelphi Saturday 24th July By Michelle Dee
	I am lucky to count King Rat and the Silver Fox as friends, so you can imagine my surprise and delight when upon entering the Adelphi on a rainy summer night, I heard the familiar sound of Foxy's harmonica emanating from within. I had no idea they were on tonight's eclectic line up. Read more...

	Forget Glastonbury, Reading and T in the Park, this years annual Nigefest, a tribute to Hull promoter Nigel Holmes birthday, was in full swing as my Lady and I wandered into the Ringside Pub on Wednesday evening. It didn't take long to spot Nigel, who, as Sheffield Metal band Headup were beating Read more...

Music Reviews - Sweet n Sour at the Welly Club 29/07/2004 Har Mar Superstar Salako The Paddingtons By Andy Dykes
	I arrive early (ish) at The Welly tonight, but still have to queue quite far back. By the time I reach the door, the line behind me is about to snake round the side of the club. I've got a feeling tonight is going to be busy. But then why wouldn't it be? Aside from the raw Read more...

Band News - The Landau's, Blue Sand and Blind Frog Ernie Hull Bands Down Under
	It would seem that for three of hulls local talented bands that boundaries have no hold on them or their music after contacting Glenn Williams at Lazyswede Productions for his help. Starting with The Landau's who have been receiving both national radio and TV exposure in Australia. Since their first single (Sweet But True) Read more...
