New LP/CD/DD – Released by Tiny Global Productions – 22nd May 2020 While other bands singe their puny parts on a sponsored bonfire of mediocrity, the Nightingales give the gobshites a lesson in blue collar artrock ‘n’ roll. Without beards or tattoos, the past punk/post pop Midlands’ mavericks say, “No” to the vile, but proudly keep their shirts on. Twelve songs of madness & melody, recorded with demure diligence. Featuring guitars & guts, soul & stupidity, poetry & pish, kindness & kinks, glam rock & grim rap, Bollywood & bollocks, et fucking cetera. Cool, hot & bothered, it’s ‘Four Against Fate’ Pre order the new album Four Against Fate here: https://uknightingales.bandcamp.com/album/four-against-fate…

Review: Transglobal Underground: Walls Have Ears — as glorious as ever.
With swaggering reggae beats to modern Maghrebi, the near-original line-up reunites for a new studio album. Transglobal Underground were ahead of their time. Thirty years ago they rose from the ashes of the underrated indie band Furniture as a fusion of dance and world music, the furrow they have ploughed ever since. A revolving cast of characters have come and gone — the Egyptian-British singer Natacha Atlas, whose subsequent solo albums have ranged from Cairene strings to Arabic jazz; Nick Page, known in his TGU incarnation as Count Dubulah, who went on to Syriana, Xaos and most notably Dub Colossus; Johnny Kalsi of the Dhol Foundation and Imagined Village. TGU were…

TC Lethbridge – Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill, Cambridgeshire
What’s the best thing you can do with £100? I think I’ve said this before, If you spend too much time in a state of mind which prevents normal perception, behaviour, or social interaction you might end up working with music. Living life in a completely deluded state, generating massive debt for no apparent reason can prove to be a nonsense. Sometimes I do things for money. Sometimes I do things for free, and sometimes I do things I don’t really understand. As the Cheshire Cat says “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” I like to take my nonsense seriously. You can be sitting…

Church of Burn – Put your money where your mind is – Sunday 8th Dec 2019 – Annual Ritual Mass Money Burn Event
Produced and presented by MBG and Church of the Cosmic Burn in collaboration with The Cockpit and Iron Man Records. Church of Burn at the Cockpit is the largest annual Ritual Mass Money Burn Event in the world.

The Church of Burn redefines money and recasts our relationship with it. In Ritual it becomes a powerful sacrament - perhaps the most…
