Went along to the Ploughshares Support gig in Mother Redcaps last week it had great musicians at it. Didn't get much info on the progress of the trial bar there's a date been set for some time in February? I think. When you get involved in all this sorta stuff you begin to feel obliged to go to various benefit gigs and its a bit unsatisfactory perhaps if you've been directly involved in the issue and you go to a gig thats empty but those involved turn up who have already put in a huge amount of their time for this cause and then they have to pay 5e or 10e for this too, but the Ploughshare gigs are great I've gone out of my way to go to a few of them now because I believe they should get huge support for what they did and their nights are nice. As usual there a selection of traditional music and guitars players etc.There was also a great Bluegrass band complete with high pitched harmonies and washing boards and spoon instruments. I'd never seen a live Blugrass band before I think they were appropriately called Prison Love and they're worth going to see anythime. Fun. I think with benefit gigs you can often get an interesting mix of people and music but you do have to make the event worth going to as event in itself. |
