Upstairs At The Ritzy - Just...Superb (Plus ELO)


Nathan 286 writes...

Well, we have just got back from playing a lovely unsigned venue in one of my three home towns called "Upstairs At The Ritzy" in Brixton, South London.


If any gigging bands are reading this and are put off by the tiny stage then don't be. The night was superb, the crowd were superb, the sound was superb the other acts were superb and best of all, the whole darn thing finished well before 11PM so the trek home was not so much of a trek! More a "sojourn". To sum up, I belive the word is "superb".

Keen eyed fans of the 286 will have thought to themselves "my, doesn't Alex look like Petra?" and they'd be correct as Petra very kindly depped for trapped-in-a-ski-lodge Alex at very short notice and we are pleased to report that Alex has found the spare cabin key and will be returning to us in time for Saturday's show. We are thrilled to have her back. Superb! Have I said that already?

Next, we're off to Grays Theatre in deepest Essex on Saturday to entertain fans of the tribute band "The ELO Experience" in the foyer prior to the concert, can you guess whose songs they do? Joking aside, they are (here comes that word again...) superb, really authentic and the "Jeff Lynne" even wears a false Jeff Lynne beard! What? It's a REAL beard? OK, now I'm jealous!

So we'll see you all soon. Oh, and check out current underground R 'n' B sensation R. Pubes, we're all massive fans of his work......and not because his name is an anagram of......SUPERB!!!
