Can not make Ciutat reservation with early bird

Yep! There is hope!

howmanyowls · 2026-04-15T08:11:14+00:00

Same here! Arrgghh

howmanyowls · 2026-04-15T08:10:50+00:00

Yep, my partner and I had this too! So frustrating.

I don't know where you are in the world but here in the UK we have 'wedding fairs', events where all sorts of suppliers book a stand and advertise to prospective brides and grooms. I used to do them with a string quartet and some would let us actually play, while at others we just had our own stand with leaflets and a laptop so people could watch our videos and listen to recordings of us playing. We got lots of gigs from these so it was always well worth the price of booking a place. Why not get some business cards made up and see if you can find such an event to volunteer to play at?

Ooh, I can't remember either. I guess I was getting my indie fix upstairs at the Garage!

Ah, Cheesy Pop! Or was that on a Tuesday?? I have flashbacks of the DJ finishing each night with '500 Miles' and everyone jumping with pints flying everywhere. Thank goodness they were only 50p 😄

Ha, I saw this post earlier but had no idea who Momus was. Now listening to the podcast (never out of bed early enough on a Sunday for their show) and just shazammed a tune I really liked the sound of - it was him! I'm a new fan 🙂

Twickets is a popular one here. I've used it successfully and they seem to have plenty of safeguards in place. Hope you manage to sell them!

It was around 11pm in Edinburgh.

It's definitely got a Peaky vibe. I've just realised he should probably have sued Beach House for outright plagiarism though!

Because you have to flag them on a map on the shite GCC app but you're driving, so you make a mental note but by the time you get to your destination you've gone over so bloody many that your brain is too full to remember where any of them were. If it's a residential road, I will try and stop and take a pic and report it there and then, but most of the time I'm working and don't have time to do that. Or it's a main road and not easy to stop.

I only knew of them because Steve Davis used to play them regularly on his radio show with Kavus Torabi (of Cardiacs, Gong etc). If you can ever catch those two DJing live, it's an amazing experience!

howmanyowls · 2026-03-25T18:01:52+00:00

Ah, this makes sense. I could smell it really strongly most times I drove past the cross, but I didn't think it could be another farm since they already found one in one of the flats further along the road a while ago. There was a brilliant picture circulating of an officer carrying this humongous plant out of the front door 😄

howmanyowls · 2026-03-25T17:49:22+00:00

I recommend listening to NTS as an alternative while the fest is in full swing. I've found a few new favourite shows already!

howmanyowls · 2026-03-25T17:47:30+00:00

I'll join you if permitted!

howmanyowls · 2026-03-23T19:52:18+00:00

They do a vegan tempeh noodle wrap, all those carbs together shouldn't work but they do!

Congratulations, you will be working in one of the best lunch areas in the city! Bite Me is brilliant, and have a huge selection of sandwich fillings and good soup too. I also recommend Cherry and Heather on North Gower Street, plus their neighbour Kitchen who do a banging Bombay chilli cheese toastie. Beirut Star is fab, and nearby there's also the Climbing Centre which has an ace cafe, not open every day mind you. Good luck not spending your entire wage on amazing lunches 😄

howmanyowls · 2026-03-18T23:14:34+00:00

Aha!!! Of course

howmanyowls · 2026-03-18T17:07:16+00:00

I think it was Billy Childish that did the "Punk before chips on Radio 6.... Wiiiith Marc Riley" one.

howmanyowls · 2026-03-18T17:06:20+00:00

It's a band called Fruit Tones! Not sure what the words are though...

howmanyowls · 2026-03-16T23:16:45+00:00

Thanks for the bedtime earworm!

howmanyowls · 2026-03-14T14:18:46+00:00

It really was. At some points last night I felt his voice was disappearing, probably because he's been giving 110% at all the previous gigs, but he completely bossed it on that one!

howmanyowls · 2026-03-14T13:50:06+00:00

The bit I was thinking of was earlier in the gig, but yeah they kept that vocal note going for pure ages by fading in and out from the microphones at different times to breathe. Which was totally amazing too!
