A Steamin Night In The Second City





  

      Pictures courtesy of Linzie Cooke, top two and Willam F Thorneye for the bottom two. All taken last Saturday during the excellent Hallowsteam event at The Roadhouse, Birmingham.

      Last week's planned fairly quiet weekend turned hectic in the end, with the Derby and Birmingham jaunts punctuated with a little trip to Whitehaven on The Cumbrian Coast to play The John Paul Jones.

      This week will definitely provide some respite, prior to a round trip to Germany's Baltic Coast at the end of next week, involving six shows in eight days.

      With Axel already gone ahead, to catch up at home, it leaves just one engagement this weekend.
 On Friday Dale and his guitar are travelling to the delightful, real ales a speciality, Princess Victoria in Matlock Bath for an evening of music dance.


      It was a fantastic gathering at The Roadhouse last week of Steampunk music and comedy and really nice to see Metropolis on their maiden performace.

      Another similar gathering for your diaries is the Christmas event at The Snooty Fox on Saturday 22nd of December,which is being pulled together by BB, with Crimson Clocks, Gladstone and Birthrite already confirmed along with Lord Montague Jaque Fromage III visiting from The States again.

       A mention also, that whilst BB are on the continent, Gladstone, Birthrite, Crimson Clocks and Metropoplis are sharing a bill on Saturday 10th November at The Shed in Leicester.

      If you visit the facebook page http://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/BBBLACKDOG?fref=ts the final part, number seven of the Steal The Show package is now available.

      So all for now, back early next week, with Euro Tour details.

    Hope you managed to catch Dale's slot on vbnavradio last night, a really good relaxed interview, interspersed with a good helping of classic and new BB tunes.   So Thanks to vbnavradio for that. A good music mix from the station generally, you can pick them up at http://vbnav.hopto.org:90/ .   Indeed immediately after Dale's departure last night we were reminded of more youthful years with "No Sheep Til Buxton" and "Beer and Sex and chips n gravy" a couple of "classics" from the infamous "Macc Lads"   Dale of course had to shoot off to the The Bulls Head at Belper Lane End for his weekly open acoustic night.   Whist we are talking Bulls Head, the special BB Blackdog brew, from the attached Shottle Farm Brewery is approaching readiness, so look out for that soon!   Just a reminder that the weekly slot at The Bulls Head does not resume until Tuesday December 3rd now.   The extremely plausible reason for th

School's Out For Summer!

             Oh Yes, it's time for that institution known simply as "Rock and Blues". It has been around in a few different guises for over a quarter of a century now. Reaching it's zenith in the early part of this new millennium when numbers were around the 30,000 mark.            This years event will see only about 10% of those crowd figures, which going by last year's event makes for a nice compact site and a great friendly atmosphere. Another plus is that the Derbyshire weather looks set to make it even hotter than last year.            BB's slot is on The Platform 15 outdoor stage at 1.40pm on the Saturday afternoon and will involve dancers. Metropolis are also forming part of this Steampunk slot. Not certain what the exact plans are yet and I guess it will not unfold completely until Saturday, should be bang on though, with almost two hours allocated.           The set sits neatly in between, the stunt flying display and the parade and prize p
