Red Rum

Trinity was an amazing venue. I remember seeing the Prodigy playing there supported by the Chemical Brothers before they were the Chemical Brothers. Probably had biggest variety of club nights there as well - I’m sure I remember one particular techno night where they had a bouncy castle upstairs!!

I have vivid memories of that even now!!

Yes!! That must have been the darkest sweatiest club around!!

Those Shimmy nights at Easton Community Centre were AMAZING! I walked past there recently and couldn’t believe how small it is - I have memories of what seemed like massive nights there!

Was more mid 90s for me - use to go to the big events - Dreamscape, Tribal Gathering, United Dance, Bagleys in London… also loads of stuff in Bristol - Bristol Exposure, Roughneck Ting, Deathrow Techno, plus Friday night at Lakota week after week! Remember doing a few of the free ones in Forest of Dean too. Completely with you about still loving the music - I discovered a great app one recent drunken night where I was going down a YouTube rabbit hole watching old rave videos - it’s on https://www.mixcloud.com/ They have loads of old DJ sets from back in the day - found quite a few that I was at!

I saw them supporting Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Brixton Academy back in June - hadn’t really heard them before then but thought they were brilliant. They actually sounded heavier live but have really got into both the albums since then.

Some really good albums this year… and some great gigs too (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fontaine DC, Gorillaz and Kendrick the highlights for live music). Top albums for me: 1. Denzel Curry - Melt my Eyez See Your Future 2. Gilla Band - Most Normal 3. Yard Act - The Overload 4. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cool it Down 5. Kendrick Lamar - Mr Morale… 6. Fontaines DC - Skinty Fia 7. Loyle Carner - Hugo 8. Jamie T - The Theory of Whatever 9. Dry Cleaning - Stumpwork 10. Leftfield - This is what we do

Only actually noticed how big an Aussie theme there is there when you mentioned it… four out of 10 is a strong message! Am with you on the Gizz front… on a related Flightless note Amyl and the Sniffers have just announced a UK tour next summer including a Bristol leg. Missed out on tickets for their London show this month.

Love the Black Country New Road album - saw them as a support act a few years ago and have been waiting for the album since then. Just pipped to the top of my list by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’s album which is unbelievable- compounded by seeing them at the Royal Albert Hall last month. Also agree with the Wolf Alice album - they were definitely the highlights of the televised Glastonbury substitute earlier in the year. Top ten for me as follows: 1. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis - Carnage 2. Black Country New Road - For the First Time 3. Idles - Crawler 4. Amyl and the Sniffers - Comfort to me 5. Ty Segall - Harmonizer 6. Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend 7. Courtney Barnett - Things Take Time, Take Time 8. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Butterfly 3000 9. Bicep - Isles 10. Slowthai - Tyron

McClaren, what a patronising c u next Tuesday. ‘’We’re a good little team but not big and tough enough for the top two’

Johnson’s comment in the Sky post match interview re Tuesday: ‘it will be a tough game for Man City’!
