Proceeds are going to a Mick Ronson Foundation to support young musicians.
It's gonna be a corker...
EDIT: It WAS!

nboldock 5th Feb 2016 | | Live MusicMark Morriss @ The New Adelphi (2016) | Eagulls were originally headlining but pulled out due to illness - Mark Morriss (The Bluetones) replaced them at late notice.
|
nboldock 21st Jan 2016 | | Live MusicJimi Hendrix Experience @ Skyline Ballroom (1967) | One poster advertised Hendrix as "Jimmy Hendrix And The Experience".
|
nboldock 14th Jan 2016 | | Live MusicOne Big Party @ Blue Lamp (1992) | London reggae band supported by Hull funk outfit.
|
nboldock 14th Jan 2016 | | Live MusicCrazy Uncle @ T.C.'s Club (1992) | A memorable gig for me, this one. I wasn't quite 17 when I went to this (psst... don't tell anybody) and I'd arranged to go to a Hull nightclub called Silhouette afterwards for the weekly indie/student night with my mates - I told my Mum I'd be home about midnight (knowing full well I wouldn't be - Silhouette closed at 2am).
I promptly got absolutely plastered on copious amounts of Newcastle Brown and arrived home sometime around 3am having hurled out of the taxi window on the way home (for which I got charged extra). Pretty sure that was the first time I ever got properly drunk. My mother was, it's fair to say, not overly impressed with me...
|
nboldock 14th Jan 2016 | | Live MusicUltra Violet Circus @ The New Adelphi (1992) | I think I was at this one, though I'm not 100% sure...
|
nboldock 14th Jan 2016 | | Live MusicDistant Sun @ Room 1795 (1992) | Might have the running order wrong for this. I was at this gig. Crazy Uncle definitely played, but not sure whether they were on first or second.
|
nboldock 13th Jan 2016 | | Live MusicFog @ Maurice Rawling Community Centre (1992) | No idea on the running order here, though this is broadly the order they're on the flyers.
|
nboldock 13th Jan 2016 | | Live MusicBuddha @ Blue Lamp (1995) | Thommo = Paul Thompson, frontman of Lithium Joe, these days performing as Joe Solo.
|
nboldock 12th Jan 2016 | | Live MusicThe Beautiful People @ The New Adelphi (1995) | Not an error - the La's really WERE the support act and it really was them, playing as part of a hush-hush series of supposed comeback shows.
I have a review of this which says the place virtually emptied once the La's had finished, leaving headline band The Beautiful People to play to a more-or-less empty venue.
|
nboldock 12th Jan 2016 | | Live MusicLuke Vibert @ The Wellington Club (2000) | Live (as opposed to DJ sets), according to the flyer (which I'll scan eventually).
|
nboldock 12th Jan 2016 | | Live MusicGloss @ The New Adelphi (2000) | Gloss were apparently a new band who had just signed to Nude.
|
nboldock 9th Jan 2016 | | Live MusicYorkston Thorne Khan @ Fruit (2016) | Might go to this - looks really interesting - details here.
|
nboldock 8th Dec 2015 | | Live MusicMott The Hoople @ Hull City Hall (1971) | Deepinder, I hear Snake Eye are rehearsing again - I don't have any details but check out their Facebook page. Ron Hales has alluded to it too.
|
nboldock 9th Nov 2015 | | Live MusicHonky @ Hull University (1994) | This gig was cancelled - do we need a Cancelled pic of some kind? If I delete it someone could add it again from a listing or some such?
|
nboldock 4th Nov 2015 | | Live MusicHybrid [Rock] @ Caesar's Palace (1994) | I realise I haven't done a very good job of differentiating the band name here but I haven't got much to go on other than a photocopy of a very brief review of this gig. I don't think they were local - this'll have to do for now...
|
nboldock 4th Nov 2015 | | Live MusicD:Ream @ Hull University (1994) | This concert was postponed until March - I'll re-enter under correct date once I can confirm what it was.
|
nboldock 4th Nov 2015 | | Live MusicMarino @ Waterfront Club (1987) | Blimey, I didn't realize Waterfront had ever hosted gigs. It was an awful nightclub. Still is, though under a different name nowadays (Sugar Mill). Marino hails from Hull originally of course.
|
nboldock 1st Nov 2015 | | Live MusicFivepenny Piece @ Spa Royal Hall (1979) | Dean, can you have a look at this one again? "Bridlington" isn't the venue - could it be the Spa Royal Hall?
|
nboldock 21st Oct 2015 | | Live MusicMagazine @ The Wellington Club (1980) | Bauhaus didn't perform - the story goes that Peter Murphy took one look at the venue, said "we're not performing here," and promptly buggered off.
|
nboldock 21st Oct 2015 | | Live MusicPhil Guy @ The Jailhouse (1990) | Buddy Guy's brother, apparently... also a bluesman.
|
nboldock 8th Oct 2015 | | Live MusicMalcolm's Interview @ The New Adelphi (1989) | More on the oddly-named Malcolm's Interview here.
|
nboldock 8th Oct 2015 | | Live MusicBlow Up @ The New Adelphi (1989) | Ah right, thanks. I don't remember them.
|
nboldock 7th Oct 2015 | | Live MusicBlow Up @ The New Adelphi (1989) | Blow Up were apparently a "highly rated Brighton band" (according to the Adelphi flyer).
|
nboldock 21st Sep 2015 | | Live MusicSystem Paralysis @ The New Adelphi (2015) | System Paralysis / Nothing's Happening split EP launch gig.
|
nboldock 16th Sep 2015 | | Live MusicAdam And The Ants @ Hull College Of Higher Education (1980) | The gig was stopped short by police after windows were broken and a fire was started in another part of the building, allegedly by ticketless fans who had been unable to get in to the venue. (Reported in the Hull Daily Mail the following day).
|
nboldock 15th Sep 2015 | | Live MusicHull Trinity Festival 2015 @ Trinity Square (2015) | How chuffed are we? The Beat, in Hull, for FREE! That's what you call a result... (yeah, I'll be there).
Some other great stuff on here too - I'm sure we'll be enjoying The Talks and Bud Sugar too, both excellent bands in their own right. Good stuff earlier in the day too though I probably won't be there until later on.
|
nboldock 2nd Sep 2015 | | Live MusicNew Model Army @ Fibbers (2015) | Off to this gig just a couple of weeks before my 40th, so it's doubling up as a bit of a special occasion. Can't wait!
|
nboldock 31st Aug 2015 | | Live MusicThe Favours @ Pianos (2006) | Ace Hull band play New York City...! Review here.
|
nboldock 25th Jul 2015 | | Live MusicJeni And Billy @ The Back Room (2015) | Added ticket - bit of an improvised ticket as you can see!
