nevermind benni it's my own daft fault for not getting organised sooner, thanks for the offer and glad your friend's feeling better....and so....now it begins... anyone got a spare for this evening? palace i take it our compadre has his ticket organised?!

ah here - there's no good in you feeling worse! feel great - you're going to see lightning bolt this evening for christ's sake....in the middle of a floor!!!

he does, jan... you may have to come down with me anyway and see if there's any floating about... if you're up for it, like?

thank goodness for lightning bolt...and friends who work in town!! a ticket has been purchased!! woohoo!!

deadly! rock on etc etc :-)

g'wan the scotch egg!

well how was this gig? did they play on the floor?

WHAT DID YOU SAY? SPEAK UP!

yeah well... scotch egg was amazing but too short... he dived around on the floor like super mario (as someone else said somewhere else) playing his little gameboy... seriously annoyed i missed the longer set he did in the legal eagle last week... lightning bolt did indeed play in the middle of the floor, therefeore allowing everyone else to use the stage... it was very tribal (and very loud)... it was great probably but you have to be able to be get into it and throw yourself around and i was tired and unable to raise my game... some good crowdsurfin' moments and some real good stuff... bouncers didn't have a clue what the f**k was going on... they gave up pretty quickly

yea this was amazing! Scotch Egg is my new hero it must be said! I had all intentions of staying at the back for lightning bolt - i only got out of hospital after an operation last week and knew i would be annihilated - but subsequently found myself at the other side of the venue 'front row' (if you can call it that?!) for Scotch Egg. The mans a legend! Never had so much fun in the space of a 2 song set in my entire life. Cant believe I missed the Legal Eagle gig. Lightning Bolt were great - but I was pissed off I wasnt well enough to get into it and up front if you get me. Still tho that f**king drummer is sick! Deadly gig - sore ears - sweaty - success!

yeah scotch egg was my highlight of the evening.. much as i enjoyed the lightning bolt set, after a while it seemed a tad indulgent....i suppose that engaging with their music physically is key to fully enjoying and appreciating them and i wasn't able to do that, too tired, sore ankle, out of synch with my inner mosher all of which meant that i was just listening and parts of their set left me cold.... i had a smile on my face for the whole night though as both the band and the audience were having so much fun...haven't seen a crowd like that in whelans in ages! any chance of scotch egg coming back for EP or something?

Oo eez dees Scotch Egg?

Saw Mr.Egg support Go! Team last year and I dont think I've laughed as much since! Nobody knew what the fook was goin on, it was all so random. Best of all, he had misplaced his megaphone so the Go Team had made him a giant cardboard replacement with little pictures all over it. He proceeded to yell "f**k you f**k you, KFC buy one get one free" into it before chucking it into the crowd and hurling scotch eggs at everyone. HilARious. Not everyone thought so.

all he said last night was before his set - "some music, could be good, could be s**t"

Y'got jipped maaan! It aint a full show til ya get savoury confections in the face.
