Blind Frog Ernie at The Cavern Liverpool on Saturday 3rd July 2004-07-09 By Arsenick.
|
|
Bearing no physical resemblance to the Beatles whatsoever, Hull's illegitimate blues-rock rapscallions
Blind Frog Ernie nevertheless did The Cavern proud last Saturday night.
Liverpool's very underground home for boys that rocked the world played host to one of the best rock-and-roll
days out I've had in a long time.
Armed with a forty odd

Music Reviews - Best Original Band Contest at The Springhead Pub (Aston Rd, Willerby) 30 June 2004 By Elsie Creek
|
|
Thirty-six local bands, competing over a period of nearly six months to determine which will make it
big and which should be thrown on the compost heap of shame . . . sound familiar?
There are quite a few band contests for the amateur set, and certain faces are sure to
be seen at each of them. The Springhead Pub,

Music Reviews - Radio in the Raw By Cilla
|
|
It's a local radio station. Ok, it's the BBC so with that comes plenty of kudos.
But it's BBC Radio Humberside - a place I have to admit that I'd steered clear of,
probably since its inception, as a not-cool place to be. In those days there was nothing but Radio 1.
And Raw Talent is a local live radio show. It's so local, you could see Alan Raw,

Music Reviews - Twice the riot, Die for, Flatline, Tear Jerk and Steel Rules Die @ the Adelphi, 27th June By John Pearman
|
|
I wasn't planning on going to the Adelphi tonight.
You see, I don't really like punk music and it's quite a well known fact amongst my friends.
So why the hell did they turn up at my door and ask me to come? I have no idea.
But upon contradictory insight into the bill as to whether Freak's Union was to play or not,
I decided that the night

Music Reviews- Bryan Adams, Proud Mary and Sketcher at the KC Stadium, Hull Saturday 26th June 04 By Steve Rudd
|
|
St. Helens-based quartet Sketcher were something of a bizarre choice for the first support act
of the night, playing a damn fine brand of pop-punk music.
Still, they did what they were in a sense expected to do, and warmed-up the crowd to a
fantastic degree, with audience participation paramount (even if the extent of

Music Reviews- The Levellers at Beverley Leisure Centre, Friday 18th June By Steve Rudd
|

Spearheading the 21st celebrations of Beverley's mighty Folk Festival, I'll be honest - it took
me a while to grasp the fact that The Levellers were actually in the centre and
ready to play out their hearts, all-acoustically and in high spirits.
In support, a couple of Australian guys by the names

Displacements and Lord Bishop Rocks at The Ringside, 23rd June By Dick Spring
|
|
If ever an act has ever been more aptly named, I don't know, but whatever, tonight's
opening slot was a special guest, short notice appearance.
Lord Bishop is a giant of a man, but rocks like a b**tard. A cool black dude, from
New York (though he is huge in Europe with near constant touring) is making a name
for himself in Blighty

The Bluetones, The Bonnitts, Bluesand at The Adelphi, Hull Thursday 17th June By Steve Rudd

This was surely one of the greatest nights in the history of the Adelphi.
Over the past 20 years, almost every band that has been worth its weight in talent has
played here, and plenty have since gone on, in subsequent years, to become very
successful and well known indeed.. bands such as, for example, Oasis,

Le Shed - Local Band Bio By Deano

When we started Le Shed three years ago.
I played guitar and Dale Bottomley (Dalos) was the vocalist as well as the bassist.
This was when we were a four piece and doing cover songs and a few of our own but things soon changed.
Dale stopped singing and I started, leaving us with just one guitarist (Dean Worswick, Machine).

It's summer, 2002 and two dissatisfied rockers have stepped out of the

Ultimately they just wanted to rock, but this time they vowed to do it in style.

Shindigg By Elsie Creek

Shindigg are the most original band you are likely to come across in Hull.
With their incomparable style and funky time signatures, they are truly unique.
Though I have been accused of sycophantically using superfluous superlatives in my time,
in this case the praise is unarguably deserved.
It is a predicament when, having awarded

La Femme Feste - Under the Influence at The Adelphi Saturday 29th May 04 By Neil Jacklin

Having spied the poster for Dean Shakespeare's latest offering in my local boutique, I decided on a
whim to check out what was being hailed as a major local event in female-led rock.
Getting into the Adelphi at about 9 o'clock, I was a little disappointed to be actually able
to get a decent seat, but there was enough of a buzz around to

It's undeniable that the Under The Influence nights have been a massive success at drawing new acts to the city. Dean really deserves credit for getting the bands of the moment into The Adelphi. Hull needs these kinds of gigs.
I also suspect Dean is a canny promoter. Having the support bills filled by the better bands in the city means

Tea is said to have been discovered in 2737 BC by a Chinese emperor when some tea leaves
