Petrol Bastard Live at The Peer Hat I wish every Tuesday could be like this but I am not rock and roll enough to handle that. After life being stolen by a pandemic and illness the energy at this gig was exactly what I needed. I can't explain it to you in words and do it justice so as standard I'm going to add pictures. Have you ever been in a room of strangers and known they were all your people? Petrol Bastard, by Cute As Sin Photography There is always this strange feeling at a Petrol gig, Bastard or Hoers, we are all here for something we know is bloody weird and we don't know quite how its going to go down but we are doing it together. After being locked away from everyone this couldn't have been more perfect. Although I have to admit not everyone here was a stranger as always at one of these gigs I made new friends. Posing Pouch I walked in just after the first band had begun and already this gig is not what I was expecting. Astronauts! Complete with crowd assiste...
Neil Gaiman And Stephen Fry I have never been to the Hay Festival before. I see adverts for it and hear about the appearances but it's three and a half hours from home so it took something special to get me there. Neil Gaiman and Stephen Fry When I saw there would be an audience with Neil Gaiman and Stephen Fry I knew I had to go. I have never fawned over actors or models, give me an interesting mind any day, a writer, an artist, a musician, a scientist some one who thinks beautifully. Then I am jelly. I turn into a teenage fan girl, I have now seen/met several of my favourite minds but Neil Gaiman remained top of my wish list. From the moment I found his work I was enchanted, I would never return to be the person I was before I read American Gods. A book recommended by a friend. I sat down to begin and the next thing I knew it was the end of the book. I didn't move for roughly 8 hours, I completely ignored my partner, I was lost in the world of Shadow....
Perilous Tales BY Luna C I wasn't sure at all what this show was having only read the title, so I was really surprised to find it was actually three plays from three different writers each 30 minutes long. All three plays managed to pack so much into just 30 minutes that I am going to have to review them all separately. Extant 1918 By Cliff Heaton An astounding tale about the horrors of war, mental health and relationships. This is one of the most touching and emotional things I have ever seen in a theatre. In 30 minutes I somehow felt that I knew the main characters really well. I knew about their lives and their secrets, I felt their joys and sorrows. The range of emotions displayed in such a short time was incredible, we watched as they discussed the war, we heard tales of things no one should ever have seen and we saw so much love through all of it. We watched guilt, anger and despair destroy a man. The insight into how it must have...
