Message From The Last Thursday Club, Swineshead, June 2020

Hello again to all supporters of The Last Thursday Live Club

Trusting that you are all well , masked, gloved and rejecting calls to 

sacrifice yourselves for ' the economy '

We're still locked down here-  and remaining so until we see a full 

House of Commons on the telly.

Of course, that means no music club for the foreseeable future- so we'll 

all be deprived of the delightful ' Homity '. However, here are 

some samples by Michelle and Ian to keep us in touch with what we're 

missing;

The infection rate being what it is it's highly unlikely that we'll 

actually be open for any of the 2020 programme -  so we've advised all 

our booked artists to fill their dates elsewhere if they can-  but we'll 

be staying on the side of caution ourselves- no matter what spurious 

advice Downing Street emits.  We're still out in the street on Thursday 

evenings, banging our saucepans for the NHS while the government is 

working to reintroduce hospital parking fees and fines for nurses and 

doctors.  We'll have something to say about that, no doubt, in words and 

song when circumstances permit.

So-  stay safe, make yo-yos from your tape measures-   and we'll see you 

when we can.

Message From Peterborough Jazz Club June 2020

Message From Peterborough Jazz Club June 2020

Dear Friends,

 Firstly, I do hope that you have all kept safe over the time of the pandemic, although no doubt many of us have had a difficult time with all the restrictions and problems  we have all been dealing with. In addition, a significant number of us being over 70 years old also has brought additional issues to deal with. 

We have, of course, kept in contact with our new venue, the Vegan Restaurant Jazz Bar in Westgate Arcade and recently I spoke to them regarding the current situation re social distancing and also we discussed the reduction to 1 metre in the near future. Unfortunately, even with the reduction to 1 metre, it will not be possible for us to promote any concerts at the Jazz Bar, upstairs at the Vegan Restaurant, for the rest of this year at least. As some of you know, the capacity of the Jazz Bar is not much more than 50 and we would normally be looking to almost sell out for most of the concerts there. Of course, with a 1 metre social distance, it will be impossible for us to get anywhere near break even point and until that changes we are, like many clubs, in a very difficult situation.

So, we will all have to make do with radio and our own jazz collection for the meantime. 

We will keep you updated of course regarding our Club and when we can look to resume concerts. In the meantime, I and the rest of the committee hope you keep well and can enjoy the summer months ahead.

The Doobie Brothers 'Listen To The Music' Remake

Rolling Stone Magazine reports that The Doobie Brothers have shared a socially distanced take on their 1972 classic, “Listen to the Music.”

The performance features Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, John McFee and John Cowan, all of whom recorded their parts from their respective homes. Without any percussion or drums, this particular rendition of “Listen to the Music” has an even breezier and lighter feel than the original. Not that it’s without any depth or complexity; McFee’s banjo and Cowan’s bass tumble and rumble beneath the guitars, and all four Doobies combine for some characteristically soaring harmonies.

At the end of the performance, Johnston shares a quick message encouraging fans to donate to the hunger relief organization, Feeding America.

Weezer special guests on The Simpsons

Weezer special guests on The Simpsons...

Following the release of their epic new song Hero a couple days ago, Weezer were special guests on The Simpsons which aired in the U.S.A .UK fans will be able to watch the episode on 22nd May on Sky 1, at 8.30pm.


The episode, entitled ‘The Hateful Eight Year-Olds’, sees Weezer voicing a cover band named Sailor’s Delight, who are the house band on a romantic cruise taken by Homer and Marge.

 Some of Sailor’s Delight’s songs in the episode will sound familiar to you, particularly if you were a fan of Weezer (The Black Album) or Pacific Daydream, but one song is completely new: debuting worldwide on The Simpsons, the track is called Blue Dream, and will be featured on the band’s forthcoming album, Van Weezer.

THE LITTLE UNSAID - new album tour // 21 - 31 MAY 2021 Bold and different - The Guardian 9/10 - 'A stunning interpretation of contemporary chaos...a gorgeous whiplash of delirium and hazy reveries' - The Line of Best Fit ★★★★★ 'Mesmeric. Atmospheric. Totally beguiling' - R'n'R (R2 Magazine) 'Entrancing... songwriting of a real rich quality, all held together by an intensity of approach, by a focus on the emotional weight music can carry'- Clash Magazine CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO The Little Unsaid London/Aarhus-based band The Little Unsaid - BBC6 Music regulars and winners of the Steve Reid Foundation Award for Boundary-Pushing New Music – return with an album of raw, restless and celebratory music all brought together while in the limbo of lockdown life, plus an energised live show offering an injection of hope for 2021. Acclaim for their previous album Atomise saw their sound likened to artists as diverse as Nick Cave (Line of Best Fit), Radiohead, Joni Mitchell and Roy Harper (The Guardian). The (as yet untitled) new album scheduled for release in May 2021 on Reveal Records (Joan As Police Woman, Lau, Boo Hewerdine, Eddi Reader) is being recorded remotely between the four band members – and marries John Elliott's crafted, melodic songwriting with far less conventional elements, through necessity of isolation – from the found sounds of a forest mixed into pounding, beats-heavy electronica to an exultant, life-affirming call-to-arms composed and recorded in John Elliott's tiny South London flat during the claustrophobia of lockdown. All bound by Elliott's sometimes intimate, often soaring vocals and visceral, deeply personal lyrics together with string arrangements that recall Warren Ellis's most heart-rending themes. The Little Unsaid's loyal live audience has been boosted by repeated plays on BBC6 Music by the likes of Guy Garvey, Iggy Pop and Tom Robinson; known for shows which involve a rich emotional journey – in 2021 the band will focus on full-on performances and cathartic release, spotlighting straight-to-the-heart songwriting and the sampled elements of the album's making.And driven by excitement to get back on the road and share live music again.
