BB BlackDog and The Scurvy Pirates



                  Really brief blog this week, due to circumstances beyond control.

          Just a reminder for everyone that BB are playing The Lindenhof Reloaded Festival this Saturday the 24th.

          A superb chance to see BB and Skorbut on the same bill, with Dale and Axel doubling up for both sets.

         The festival is at Lockschuppen in Bad Segeberg, on Bahnhofstrasse very handily positioned close to both bus and train stations.

         The show begins at 2pm, with the bands playing outside, which is not a problem, with sunny weather forecast for Northern Germany. Other bands on the bill include Santicatee, Verity Absurd and Black Mountain Yetis. Action moves indoors at ten, with dj,s taking over.

          Tickets are 12 euros (you would think by now UK keyboards include the Euro sign!) from http://www.schockluppen.de/lindenhofreloaded/.

         This is a one off in Germany for now, BB will not be back until close to the end of the year.

         UK fans will probably have to wait until next August for the BB/Skorbut combination with both booked for August's AltFest. Speaking of which there should be another announcement of bands soon for the festival, which is set to illuminate next summer's British festval scene with something genuinely alternative. http://www.alt-fest.com/.

    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

BB BlackDog, Live On The Night Of The BlackCats

    Apologies to anyone who made the trip to The Pump And Truncheon in Blackpool last Saturday. The gig was, unfortunately cancelled, due to circumstances beyond someone's control.     However no such problems on Friday in Doncaster and the gig prompted a rather nice review from Stu Tovell http://mrstu616.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/bb-blackdog-live-at-cask-corner-251013.html  .     Just the one BB show this week, indeed the last one scheduled for The UK until the first weekend in December.   The Tramway on Chatsworth Road, part of Chesterfield's "Brampton Mile", provides the setting for a Halloween Night special.   Continuing last week's theme of, great ale pubs, The Tramway is the nearby Brampton Brewery's Tap.   Also on offer is a limited edition from The English Whiskey Co., so a little sad that, this is last show of the year that Lord Monty is not with us for.   Activities move to "The Continent" for the month of No
