In between they played some of the top shows in Leicester, performed in London, Birmingham and Glastonbury…<\/p>\n

read the story of a band that did wonderful things<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Friday 10th July<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were at The Soundhouse to see The Lids<\/strong> and The Mini Nukes<\/strong>. Disappointed to have missed a set by Luke Walker<\/strong> (one-time member of The Chairmen.)\u00a0 The Lids were three teenagers and their lead vocalist had a strong voice into which he applied plenty of character.\u00a0 The best thing about The Mini Nukes is that all three of them sing.\u00a0 Good musical entertainment delivered with lashings of passion.\u00a0 Songs that have oodles of drive and relentless energy. Their set was delivered with infectious good humour and a limitless supply of infectious rhythms.<\/p>\n

Saturday 4th July<\/strong><\/p>\n

Western Park Festival<\/p>\n

See our report on this year’s festival at Western Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oxjam<\/p>\n

That night we were at The Shed for the Oxjam Skabecue<\/em>. Many excellent acts but\u00a0 to mention\u00a0just some: \u00a0Grace (from Grace and the Magic Roots) Ujahm and Goldstien were particuarly good<\/p>\n

Joe Doyle<\/strong><\/p>\n

and also tonight Joe Doyle’s album launch held at The Soundhouse.\u00a0 Joe sang a song by Gorillas – Clint Eastwood lyrics<\/em> – tat includes the line about having sunshine in a bag.\u00a0 Very good but little more than was remembered.\u00a0 Several notable names from the Leicester music scene were in the audience.<\/p>\n

Olivia Rose Dean<\/strong> posted on Facebook on Sunday 5th July<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who came out to The Cookie last night! It was an absolute blast, can’t wait for the next one! Michael Kurtz Music<\/strong> and Mia and the Moon<\/strong> were amazing and did an amazing job of setting the bar so high!<\/p>\n
