Nice to go to a venue with lights. The lights are still a bit hit and miss as all the bands are set up across the (fairly big) stage, so when the bands play, the lighting isn't really set up for anyone. Anyway apart from being a bit red Ms Pringle was quite visable and even though the soundman was aparently more interested in MSN that the the lovely ms pringle, the sound seemedc pretty good to me - the songs sounded like they do on myspace, so I think that's good.

Other bands playing: Florence & the Machine, and Lets Wrestle.

A nice little venue, centrally located. Previously we enjoyed Smatka here. This gig is free, it is however an accoustic evening (apart from Ms Pringle). Whilst what I saw of the accoustics was perfectly fine, I have to admit that the gendre leaves me cold. The audience were very polite and the artists were very polite. Well its better than going to an arena gig but then reading a book is more exciting than a stadium gig.

So anyway arriving late meant Ms Pringle was already underway when I got there, but don't worry I soon whipped out my camera to bring you pictures. There seemed to be several photographers with large constructions on top of their cameras, presumably to provide some sort of flash for their pictures. We don't like flash. This is what George Pringle looked like at the gig. You will notice the centre of the light falls somewhere around her middrift. I can reveal that this mislighting occurs because the accustics do not stand up, presumably to avoid the crowd becoming excited. I did see someone moving their foot during the accustic set, but I think they may have been heading for the toilet.

In the context of the other bands George Pringle stands out (and stands up). It would be interesting to see her on the bill with interesting bands. She should play the Klinker.

I came across George Pringle on myspace when researching a gig. Mostly we find new bands when they play with bands we know or by recommendation. Because of this we try to look at myspace of bands playing - to see whether we should rush our dinner :-)

Anyway when I came across George Pringle's myspace I was quite taken with her wimsyical poetry spoken over dance tunes constructed in garageband. The Guardian (early in 2007) included her in their list of 'Mini Allens' (a reference to Lilly Allen).

I think the use of slide projectors to replace proper lighting seems to be common in Notting Hill. Apart from the lack of light the venue was quite pleasant.. The gig was quite short, but worth the visit. We shall venure out again to see George Pringle.
