Rosie And The Goldbug @ the 12 Bar
Rosie has changed since I last saw her, the goldbug are less changed. Rosie is more conventionally dressed (although she has a blonde bob wig) in a shortish leatherish skirt. She used to wear completely over-the-top (and probably unique) outfits. I think they were good, but maybe the ban seem more serious now. On the other hand it may be that there just isn't room for an adventurous outfit on the 12 Bar stage. They have some new songs too. Its an enjoyable evening and the 12 Bar is always convivial.

Rosie & the Goldbug @ The Enterprise
I'm still finding these new led lights a bit of a challenge. The Youngs Bitter is back on this week which is a big plus point. Rosie and the band give another good performance. Rosie herself provides an interesting study in how to play keyboards and give a dynamic performance. This culminates in her famous playing the keyboard with her elbows and tonight she ends by sitting on the keys (a bum note!).
Rosie & The Goldbug @ The Enterprise
I had heard good things about Rosie and the Goldbug from Little Fish who played with them in Cornwall. Seeing that they were playing a residency at the Enterprise I thought I would have a look.
It's 3 months since I was last at the Enterprise, and it has been transformed from a room above a pub into a room above a pub with stage and lights (and probably better sound). Although the lights are of the new led variety which present something of a colour temperature challenge, they certainly shed light on the band. The transformation of the Enterprise seems to be the result of some relationship with the barfly. I must say that the result is much better thsan the Fly in New Oxford street with its christmas tree lights. Downstairs there is real beer at a reasonable price (Young's for about £2.80 a pint). Before you all rush down there be warned that it is quite small and for the Barfly b-sides nights on the door price is £7 although the Barfly website only says £5.
Rosie and the Goldbug were good and the show was nicely theatrical.
