Tonight's concert kicks off the second English Originals Festival, described by the Town Hall as 'a celebration of music and artists that are uniquely English in character, all with a strong sense of place, identity, time and tradition'. There's a mixture of paid gigs and free events and it looks like it will be a good weekend. |

I very nearly had a heart attack when I was told at the last minute that there were seven bands on the bill tonight – dependant on how you looked at it, this was either going to be a-few-bands-too-many overkill or an extremely excellent value for money gig. One thing was for sure the Thrash and Burn UK Tour 2009 promised to be a grindcore, deathcore, mathcore, melodic death metal, metalcore (and enter any other genre you feel appropriate here) extravaganza. |

It would be fair to say that grown men will only willingly dance on two occasions: at weddings is one, where their normal high level of self-awareness is snatched away.. and the other occasion? At Specials gigs when the infectious, continuous groove becomes so irresistible that even Jerry Dammers himself could not contain himself... |
