Carnival of Souls - under the westway - John Peel Tribute

Inn on the Green lies between Portobello Road and Ladbrooke Grove; Some of us remember this area for bands such as the Raincoats, Bank of Dresden and the Passions who played the nearby Aklam Hall in the early 80s. Those traditions of indie rock are alive and well tonight. With a flier it was only £2 to see 4 bands and although we only photographed 'Carnival of Souls' the other 3 bands - Omega, Amigaman and Joey Powell - contributed to a good evening. The hall was a reasonable size but the lighting was somewhat inadequate (or was it just the 'new dark'). Although the band described themselves as tired, and had a long wait after the soundcheck, their performance was as energetic as usual; from the frantic ska of 'Send in the Clownz' to 'Monkeychicken' and 'Society of Friends' the tunes are soon stuck in your head. We spend the whole weekend dancing and humming them. It was a fitting tribute to John Peel.
