BB BLACKDOG-SIT! well Tavern, Friday night


 
    A return to The Sitwell Tavern in Derby on Friday night, is this weeks only live appearance. With Mike spending the weekend at Bloodstock, Steve will stand in again, as he did at The Patriot in Wales earlier in the year.

   One hopes and presumes that with five clear days before BB play again, Mike should be able to hear is own bass again by then.

     Karen should be joining Demolitia, on dancing duties and due to popular demand the proceedings will open with some "I told you not to wash the instuments on hot!" acoustic renditions from "Timetravelsick Dale" and "Barbie pink Lightning Boldt".

   The Tavern is on Sitwell Street, off Babington Lane in the heart of the city.

   The band facebook page is now only 43 likes short of the magic 2000 likes mark and 3 lucky winners will be drawn at random to receive some prizes when the mark is attained. So if you  haven't liked it yet, get on over to http://www.facebook.com/BBBLACKDOG, where it is also worth checking out the "Rev Doctor's" radio review of Rock And Blues.

   There is also a link to Reverbnation http://www.reverbnation.com/bbblackdog featuring the updated gigs listing.

    With an eye to future gigs, an excellent Steampunk event shaping up at The Roadhouse in Birmingham "Hallowsteam" on October 27th.

     Already booked for a couple of festivals for 2013, Galaxy Fest on February 9th in Colorado Springs, US and Freak Valley in the Siegen/Netphen area of Germany on May 31st. So maybe time to save up the pocket money or save a fortune in travel if you live in those areas.

    Hope you managed to catch Dale's slot on vbnavradio last night, a really good relaxed interview, interspersed with a good helping of classic and new BB tunes.   So Thanks to vbnavradio for that. A good music mix from the station generally, you can pick them up at http://vbnav.hopto.org:90/ .   Indeed immediately after Dale's departure last night we were reminded of more youthful years with "No Sheep Til Buxton" and "Beer and Sex and chips n gravy" a couple of "classics" from the infamous "Macc Lads"   Dale of course had to shoot off to the The Bulls Head at Belper Lane End for his weekly open acoustic night.   Whist we are talking Bulls Head, the special BB Blackdog brew, from the attached Shottle Farm Brewery is approaching readiness, so look out for that soon!   Just a reminder that the weekly slot at The Bulls Head does not resume until Tuesday December 3rd now.   The extremely plausible reason for th

School's Out For Summer!

             Oh Yes, it's time for that institution known simply as "Rock and Blues". It has been around in a few different guises for over a quarter of a century now. Reaching it's zenith in the early part of this new millennium when numbers were around the 30,000 mark.            This years event will see only about 10% of those crowd figures, which going by last year's event makes for a nice compact site and a great friendly atmosphere. Another plus is that the Derbyshire weather looks set to make it even hotter than last year.            BB's slot is on The Platform 15 outdoor stage at 1.40pm on the Saturday afternoon and will involve dancers. Metropolis are also forming part of this Steampunk slot. Not certain what the exact plans are yet and I guess it will not unfold completely until Saturday, should be bang on though, with almost two hours allocated.           The set sits neatly in between, the stunt flying display and the parade and prize p

And Life Goes On (You Know It Aint Easy)

      Well firstly, wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year, a year bereft of Olympics or Jubilees, how will we fill our days? I feel sure we will all cope. It already looks a great year for live music events on varying scales of grandeuer, lets hope the weather has made a resolution,to smile a little more.       February brings us the Year Of The Snake, indeed to be precise, The Water Snake, noted as quite motivated and intellectual, very determined and resolute about success. So here's to hoping.       One last mention of snakes, this time in human form, to those who saw fit in the early hours of Saturday the 22nd of December, to break into the BB mobile and remove all from within. Two drum kits, the basses, sound system, even the songbook, Demolitia's personnal dance items, merchandising and more. Equipment worth not only in excess of £20,000 but immeasurably more in the value placed upon the items by the four concerned.       It has been my privil
