I was expecting to be in Oxford tonight, but Juju's chest infection has not cleared up and Little Fish have had to postpone tonight's gig. Fortunately tonight is Rock and Roll Cabaret night at the Dublin Castle and some people I know are playing.I've known the Hyenas for quite a while; they do a good show and have developed a bit of a following (in Camden at least). Certainly they get a very good response from the crowd. The lights are the worst that I have seen at the Dublin Castle this year; just mild ineffectual flashing, well probably flickering is a more acturate description. I soon get bored with taking 4 shots in quick succession to get one that is not too dark or light, and turn to flash. In gritty Black and White I think it works well with the Hyenas gritty rock and roll.When Jarmean? play the flashing has at least decreased in frequency and increased in length, so there is some opportunity to avoid flash with Jarmean? .
Jarmean? are perhaps not quite my type of music, but they do a good live show and I definitely appreciate that. Their drummer Sara also plays in the Berettas which is how I know them.
The evening is finished off by a Britney Spears impressionist. As I am not hugely attracted by Britney Spears and her music I can’t really judge the accuracy of her impression. It’s late by everything finishes and even later by I have said goodbye to everyone. I am glad I have come in the car.
