Frosty Belles and More Dogs Than You Shake A Stick For - Sounds like a weekend!


               A good round trip through Continental Europe now put to bed, with  BB and Monty now back in the Derbyshire hills.

               To set the record straight, the low bass baton was actually passed back to Molly before the show in France last Friday.

             Many apologies for the inaccuracy in last weeks blog which concluded that Sven would be playing that one. It was due to fact I have been considering applying to write for the British national press recently and allowed the concept of, making up what you do not actually know, to run free!

              Still as they say "never let the truth get in the way of a good story".

         Anyway here below is some hard photographic evidence of Molly playing in Yutz.

            So suitably invigorated by some high quality French absinthe, one hopes, BB and LMJIII are set for another full and varied weekend.

            A Friday night start at The George and Dragon, on Bridge Street in Belper, raising the curtain on a weekend beer festival.

           Saturday it is over to another regular BB venue, The Black Market on Market Warsop's High Street, for Dogfest, which brings together not only BB BlackDog, also another local favourite Ferocious Dog and making the long haul from Plymouth and The Medway respectively, Mad Dog McRea and Hobo Jones and The Junkyard Dogs.

        
        Whilst the canine theme ends there, the list certainly does not, with fourteen more acts, loosely based around folk and folk rock, on a bill running from 10.30am until 2am.

         That is some day of music! Sure hope the bar will be serving Horlicks later!

         Please note if you are attending, that BB are on stage at midday.

        Just to reiterate that whilst all the tickets have been sold, there are a number of people selling them at good prices on the facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/196633133794364/?fref=ts, there is also a listing of stage times buried there a little way down.
      



          On Sunday the vibe changes completely when BB head for yet another regular haunt, The Roadhouse, off Lifford Lane in Stirchley, Birmingham.

         The show entitled "Frosty Belles and Whistles" is being put together by burlesque artist Nenedhel Absynthium and is being billed as a "Christmas Burlesque and Steampunk Extravaganza".

         Running from 3pm to 11pm and featuring around a dozen burlesque artists, male and female, some cabaret performers and stalls, it should be a cracker. Music from alongside BB and Lord Monty, West Midlands Steampunk aficionados Birthrite and Crimson Cocks, plus South Coast "Chap-Hopper" Professor Elemental.

       A superb package for £10. Tickets and details at https://www.facebook.com/events/202863426562643/?fref=ts.


       One last reminder, that the open mic/acoustic sessions are back on Tuesday nights at The Bulls Head, Belper Lane End, from tonight until the 17th.

Going Dutch!

    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

And Life Goes On (You Know It Aint Easy)

      Well firstly, wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year, a year bereft of Olympics or Jubilees, how will we fill our days? I feel sure we will all cope. It already looks a great year for live music events on varying scales of grandeuer, lets hope the weather has made a resolution,to smile a little more.       February brings us the Year Of The Snake, indeed to be precise, The Water Snake, noted as quite motivated and intellectual, very determined and resolute about success. So here's to hoping.       One last mention of snakes, this time in human form, to those who saw fit in the early hours of Saturday the 22nd of December, to break into the BB mobile and remove all from within. Two drum kits, the basses, sound system, even the songbook, Demolitia's personnal dance items, merchandising and more. Equipment worth not only in excess of £20,000 but immeasurably more in the value placed upon the items by the four concerned.       It has been my privil

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
