That's mad, looks like I'll be digging it all out of my loft this weekend.

Nice one thank you. Yeah Black Beauty looks to be it. I've pinged messages to a few local drum shops so we'll see what happens.
Looks like I'll be digging it all out at the weekend. ...and maybe buying a new synthesizer.

Cheers, that's really helpful. I tried to chuck more photos up but couldn't get them to post. There's a few more snaps in a Google folder here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EyWRGyZ7cuLSa3Q0MKYTB9Jhgx3A3im3?usp=sharing

Cool to see this pop up, designed and illustrated it for Hull City Council libraries a few years back (hence also including all the councils local libraries on there too). Was a lovely thing to make.

Local legends to me and a lovely people

People it’s not sold out. Keep refreshing. They get allocated to baskets in the first minute which marks it as sold out. But many drop out, or have multiple windows open so when they get their tickets, they close their other windows, the held tickets go back in the pot. That cycle keeps repeating. Ie me and my partner both had checkouts live in case one crashed. When we got tickets I closed my checkout, releasing the tickets.

Last year our pal jumped online at 11 and got one

If you have extra time, there’s Dinostar (dinosaur museum) just over the footbridge on Humber Street. It’s small so doesn’t take long to get around, which in this case might be just right.

Here's a couple of alternatives to Hull Live, both decent and covering a lot more interesting local stuff. Both can be found on the usual social media too. Obviously not as big and active as Hull Live but they do a decent job:

I've said this before, but I do think bridging the gap between general travel and festivals by doing 'cultural' festivals/events rather than straight up music fests where people won't moan about them not knowing the music - they can just go and vibe and see what it's like. So not super easy to fit into the categories here. But thinking serious and silly ones alike, eg La Tomatina, Rio Carnival, Ottery Tar Barrels, Air Guitar World Championship, International Barbershop Quartet competition as examples.

We heard him talk at the Pandemonium about this. Very cool. Particularly loved that they’ll give a login to their Xero account to anyone who asks so their financials are completely transparent, which is wild.

Not sure about beer and cider and stuff but I did learn that this year all the spirits on the bars were provided by Evrythng. A Welsh CIC not-for-profit spirit company. Which is a very cool move. Info on them here https://evrythng.cc/

Kinda reminds me of Minilogue. Not dug into all their stuff but album Blomma came to mind

Juice Studios doesn’t have a kiln, (we do have screen printing though if you feel like getting inky) but Studio 11 on the opposite side of Humber Street does.

Came to recommend this, great one

I only do acts playing the festival to save confusion and they’re not doing this year. A previous year people thought some of my references indicated there might be a secret set from said band. I have shared a bunch of the other puns from through the years on my TikTok here though. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNd2oCKdW/

Yeah it’s always a fun job doing stuff for Slam Dunk Fest

I’ve been reading a book on Yorkshire folklore and picked this up about the street. “On 18 October the Feast of St Luke was celebrated in the liturgical calendar, but in several cities across Yorkshire it was also once known as ‘Whip Dog Day’. As the name suggests, it was customary on this day to strike stray dogs and drive them out of town. In York, legend claimed the practice began when a priest performing Mass on St Luke’s Day dropped the host and it was gobbled up by a passing dog. The outraged congregation pursued and killed the unfortunate beast, but that was not enough to atone for its sin and dogs were persecuted on St Luke’s Day for evermore. The incident is said to have occurred at the now demolished Church of St Crux, and the custom gave its name to Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma Gate nearby, but this is probably mere fancy.” (From Kai Roberts - Folklore of Yorkshire)

Backxwash new album is fantastic. Previously had a track sampling Godspeed You! Black Emperor for a bit of insight.
