Second Night of Jim’s tour, this time over in Leeds, as good a gig as Manchester, different songs & different readings and as always hysterical ramblings/rants between songs

The day after seeing Jimbob in Manchester, Jim was playing in Leeds with support from Chris T-T, I’ve seen Chris play a few times before, but never had my camera at that point (well except for when he was Jim’s Piano Man on the last tour)

After the trip to the zoo, i drove all of 10 miles to the venue were the Indelicates were playing, and after sitting looking quite dodgy in the car park copying all the photos off from the Zoo so i would have some room for photos, so here are the photos from that gig..

Well a friend of mine is buggering off down south and had a leaving party the other week, and we had a singer, the lighting in the pub wasn’t great, neither was my photography that night, but the singer was good – here’s the photos

Well, one of my favourite bands, seen them many times, and this time as a 3-piece acoustic gig, as they are currently under going some line-up changes (hopefully they won’t mind me mentioning that). There were 2 support acts, wasn’t too keen on the first, and the second were better, was tempted to do some photos of them, but the light was just a couple of static spots, one white, one red, and maybe a couple of others that were over powered… Anyway The Indelicates did pretty much a set of new songs from the new album, with a couple classics, but with the snapping of a string the fun started to happen, with Al playing a single drum stick, and Simon deciding to give Al his guitar back and playing drums… which went fine till he stood up, and sat down again and vanished behind the curtain… but i’ll let Simon tell that story

Well on Saturday, i had the pleasure of seeing an old friend again, Mr Eddie Argos and his lovely girlfriend Dyan, in their side project band “Everybody was in the French Resistance… Now!”. Their other bands being Art Brut & The Blood Arm (the latter i’ve yet to listen to…) but this was a last minute pre-tour tour, the opening night had been in Cambridge and the band had left their backing tracks in the kitchen of Eddie’s London home, fortunately they had them backed up on an ipod… They were also joined by Dave from The Mighty Lemon Drops, who i only remember from a friend who said they were really good, cos they swore a lot (i was 11!).

Anyway photos are linked below, just click on the photo
