It’s been far too long<\/a> since I went to a gig with Oz so we decided to squeeze one in before the year was out. His contact got us tickets with access to the posh upstairs VIP area for Mogwai – what’s not to like.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I met him earlier in the day at Nik’s, who Oz was at Leeds Uni with many moons ago. Nik runs cookery lessons as the Spice Monkey<\/a> and Oz had joined the other 7 participants on a days Vegan course. I was lucky enough to mop up what was left – gorgeous stuff! This fabulous photo was on the wall…..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 3 of us headed to Brixton and had a drink in the wonderful Pop Brixton<\/a> – made from Containers and full of food and drink stalls – like an English Blade Runner. We also explored the arcade and markets – so full of energy and life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Academy was packed for Mogwai – glad to see that such an uncommercial guitar band can pull such a crowd. We watched from the side of the stage for a while – I had my back-pack with me so couldn’t really head into the crowd, so we retreated to the upstairs VIP bar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The view from upstairs was great – the power of their sound was quite breathtaking with ‘Old Poisons’ taking the biscuit<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Probably a sign of the times that we ditched the after show party t so we could get home by midnight…..and talk records over a G+T of course…..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday had Oz in tourguide mode. We took his boy Noah round Shoreditch, went to the Rough Trade Shop, a lovely pub under threat of redevelopment, then off to the Heavenly Social, and for a final pint near the BBC’s broadcasting house before I had to be off……<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

….for Dave Reed’s secret 60’s organised by Darlene at Anna’s house – he didn’t have a clue. Must’ve been a hundred or more there with fab food, a fire in the back and live music from Morrissey & Marshall<\/a> (with added vocals from RowD Beats<\/a>). What a top weekend!<\/p>\n
