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 November so here is a "head's up" of where BB will be appearing.
 
On the 16th, they will be in Arnhem, The Netherlands, at the second, expanded, edition of "Emporium Vernesque" the pre-eminent  Dutch Steampunk event. http://www.emporiumvernesque.com/?lang=en
 
 
Thursday and Friday, the 21st and 22nd finds BB in Germany with shows firstly at Altn Zolln in Lubeck, followed by The Café Coma, Bad Segeberg.
 
The final leg in Europe is on Friday the 29th in Yutz, France at "The Nox Victoriana Judico" for "The Collegium Tempus Vapori", http://www.temporis-vapori.com/.
 
Due to the jaunt around Europe, The Acoustic Sessions Night at The Bulls Head at Belper lane End, which Dale hosts on Tuesday nights, will be taking a break. The event is on for the 5th and 12th of November and will resume on December the 3rd.

Going Dutch!

    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

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

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
