The Dirty Soul: Perfection is bad for the soul
Indeed it is... perfection that is, but is the soul in question actually The Dirty Soul themselves? Not perfect but steady and steadfast, standing as they are on a blues and swaggering pub-rock foundation.
rock soul
The title "Soul Food Mother" sounds like it's a line from Fatboy Slim's "Rockafella Skank". Thankfully though Undercut's music sounds nothing like the poor quality efforts that are usually put forward by Norman Cook.
soul folk
"Innovative four piece with a hybrid sound comprised of Funk, Rock and Soul."
Chapter Thirteen: Fighting Your Soul EP
"I don't need your cure for illness, This disease is keeping me from falling", reflects a poignant insight into the continued striving for deserved recognition from Chapter Thirteen.

ARMSTRONG, described by Kerrang! Magazine as "A Tornado of Infectious Pop-Rock Melodies", have cemented themselves as one of the most exciting bands in the UK thanks to a thrilling live show and chart success.

Chichino have signed a recording contract with London based, The Junk Label. The deal will see Chichino release a number of singles with the view to releasing an album.
A bold effort from The Ga Gas here; their melodic rock sound has certainly set them in line to be pretty big up and coming.
Adequate Seven @ Joseph's Well
WOW! What can I say about this band? They are brilliant, they have come on so much since the last time I saw them early in 2002.
Gig @ Mixing Tin, Leeds - 16th March
Freyed Knot have their first proper gig at the Mixing Tin on Friday 16th March
We are a rock, punk, garage and soul influenced band based in Leeds. The best descriptions we have received said we were an "Apocolyptic 70's Garage band" and a "no holds barred Rock and Roll Band".
Muse: Butterflies and Hurricanes
With this the (probably) last single from 'Absolution' Muse have simply outdone themselves yet again.
The Bellrays: They Glued Your Head On Upside Down
This is the second single from the recent 'Meet The Bellrays' album and has rightly received A-list airplay and acclaim from national media.
This ambitious 15 track album provides glimpses of the song writing talent on offer, but the flat aesthetics of the overall finished sound leaves little lasting impact.
Chunky Butt Funky: Five Reasons To Be Cheerful
Recently back from a two-week tour of South Africa and already established as regular performers at The Wardrobe, The Atrium and The Hi-Fi Club, Chunky Butt Funky's commitment to performing the music they love cannot be questioned.
The Bellrays @ Leeds Festival 2002
Accompanied by the belting voice of tambourine-wielding Lisa Kekaula, The BellRays play their own brand of old school uptempo punky rock they fondly call 'maximum rock and soul'.
An addictive combination of sound, lyric and attitude that make you want to jump around like a demented frog!
Formed in 2004, Move To Cuba are a three-piece consisting of Mark Regan, Matt Poole and Chris Powel - a frenzied guitarist with a soul shattering voice brought together with a gut-punching rhythm section.
Various Artists: United Sounds of the HiFi Club
This brilliant compilation showcases a whole music scene that a lot of the other parts hardly touch. American style funk, soul and R&B is not exactly leading edge these days.
I'd not even heard of The Checks until it was announced that one of my favourite Sheffield bands (The Dodgems) are supporting them on their UK tour.
23-year-old songwriter Misterook has been around a fair bit as far as music is concerened. Since the age of 13, he has played guitar and wrote with countless bands from funk, soul, rock/metal, solo folk artistes, right through to experimental live drum and bass projects.
Formerly known as Silence in D Minor on the Free to be me EP, "Violence" always has been a strong song.
Band Profile: Robert J Langley
Rob has been playing around Leeds for several years as a member of Hyde Park Times, more recently with Feluka and on his own, playing such disparate styles as pop, folk, soul, rock, jazz, funk, world, ska, reggae, psychedelia, avant garde and pretty much anything else you'd care to mention.
What is clear from the outset is The Touch have talent. Blues driven pounding rock and roll filled with impeccable harmonies and soul.
The Bellrays: Meet The Bellrays
Alan McGee's introduction of The Hives has been nothing less than a marketing success, but if only the same could be said for his recent unveiling of The Bellrays.
Corinne Bailey Rae receives three Grammy nominations
Leeds-based solo artist Corinne Bailey Rae is up against Mary J Blige and James Blunt as the 49th Grammy Award nominations were revealed today.
Dylan Donkin - a man, a dream or a musical marvel? A slice of this psychedelic-surf pie has produced a smorgasbord of responses.
Fresh on the news that they have secured an impressive support slot on the upcoming Primal Scream tour, Little Barrie release 'Pin That Badge EP' as a taster for their forthcoming album in the new year.
Juliette & The Licks: Hot Kiss
Inflated egos and being surrounded by 'yes men' usually mean that what a film star interprets as 'good music' is a lot different to the public's perception.
Graham Coxon @ Leeds Festival 2004
Soulwax are the evil, broodier incarnation of 2manydj's. But like their funk soul brother, they take their chosen rock template and run with it.
The Wave Pictures: Instant Coffee Baby
The Wave Pictures have got a very distinctive sound. Not that they're particularly unconventional, it's just that they're instantly recognisable to anyone who is familiar with their music, which is partly down to Dave Tattersall's idiosyncratic voice.
The careful listener will notice that there are actually 3 tracks on The Lies new offering but the tendency to segway between songs of a similar structure, tempo, sound and key will have the casual listener feeling as if they have wandered into a mod-rock-opera.
Awesome Funky Magic from the tightest, heaviest, most powerful 4 piece in Leeds! Maji are not to be missed!
Whoa! Where did this come from? Like a rabid dog let out of its cage whilst on numerous class A drugs, The Lies are all about fast, loud, in your face songs.
Dirty Fakirs are a 6-piece from Hebden Bridge who have been bringing their unique style of super heavy northern grooves to audiences since August 2006.
Tetra Splendour @ Leeds Festival 2002
Plundering the heavy riff cookbook, Porthcawl's Tetra Splendour sure make a better live proposition than on record (fine single 'Pollenfever' excepted).
For anyone that might be put off by the fact Two Gallants are signed to everyone's favourite indie emo label don't be; Two Gallants aren't standard Saddlecreek fair.
Immune take classic rock music, fuck it up, screw it over, rip it apart and give you music unlike anything you'll have ever heard.
Did you hear the one about an unknown band from Teesside, the guy who runs a Smiths night and the room upstairs in The Fenton?
Yet another indie/ rock four piece are here to stifle our souls. Hooray. This time it's Sleeve, a Sheffield formed band that "live in a dream." There's a bit more to them than the usual Oasis sound-a-likes.
Camera Obscura: Lloyd I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken
I wobbled over buying this after a little digging around the subject revealed niggling Belle and Sebastian comparisons, but luckily it turns out to be the near-perfect three minutes and fifty one seconds of swooning, Spector-ish pop bliss my ears had initially suspected.
The Twilight Singers: Powder Burns
"It's a rare occasion that a record makes as powerful an impression as this one" begins the accompanying press release but it just simply isn't true.
Designated Driver: Design At Edd River
Middlesex's Designated Driver do what a lot of modern Emo frat-party nu-punk rockers don't - they actually write songs that feel like they mean it rather than purely sounding good when you've got a skinful.
The Bellrays: The Red, White and Black
The down and dirty bass guitar riff of "Remember" kicks off this second Poptones offering from The Bellrays before some rolling drums interrupt proceedings along with strangled guitar for company and then we're off into a rifftastic headlong dash to the chorus.
Clowns. More club and gig night should have clowns. Tonight, The Power Of Omnipotence got some clowns to join the boozed-up throngs.
The Hold Steady arrive in the UK next month for their first full UK tour. Danielle Millea caught up with guitarist Tad Kubler.
Bands wanted for Clarence Park Free Music Festival...
Possibly the longest running free music festival in the UK, Clarence 2004 is due to take place the last weekend in July at Clarence Park in Wakefield (subject to licensing and funding).
This is the sort of record that it really should be very easy to dismiss as hapless retro-copyism. Ulster rockers The Answer don't so much wear their influences on their sleeve as practically have them branded on to their foreheads.
The Killers: All These Things That I've Done
The Killers are probably the most aptly-named band around at the moment, after having whipped, bludgeoned and slayed their way across the British music scene with sharp ties and nicely-pressed trousers.
We are six experienced musicians based around the Leeds, Bradford, and Harrogate area. We consist of Lead Vocals, Lead, Rhythm, Bass, Drums and Keyboard.
The Prototypes: A Twist Of Fate
I can't fathom The Prototypes. A Twist of Fate comprises four songs each of which have their own unique style.
The Ebb are about to reach make or break time. Ball-busting, tribally triumphant drums soundtrack the band's rock and Borrell swagger onstage, the supremely confident singer causally sauntering across the pit before thrashing himself into a Columbia sized riff.
Right to begin with I promise not to make any comments connecting poor bands with Bradford - I have recently had several, shall we say sharp remarks, pointing to the fact that I may be being unjust regards the city.
Rio's is a decent sized venue that looks well-suited to hosting live bands; when Kharma 45 opened their set with "Come On" there was only around 3 dozen people present yet their powerful sound filled the venue giving the impression of a far larger crowd.
Welcome to the MTV2 Spanking New music Tour, tonight we have a real treat for you, with performances from Fields, ”Forward, Russia!
The back of Gaia's four song demo is adorned with the typically touted quote "...who have defined their own sound" and as with so many before them, Gaia are not something that'll leave you thinking "how revolutionary".
Jim's Super Stereo World @ Joseph's Well
Much pop history has come and gone since Jimbob and Fruitbat decided, in the mid-nineties, that they just weren't having fun anymore and disbanded Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine.
It seems that everywhere you turn these days, someone is writing a review or on TV or maybe just down the pub declaring the excellence of the current Leeds music scene.
Playing the two-track Weeve demo CD brings back some memories, mainly images of bands such as Soundgarden, Bush or Pearl Jam vocals/structure but with a typically British indie-guitar style.
Halifax-based covers band playing popular music
Sadly, I've forgetten the accepted history of the synthesizer. Did Prof. Moog descend from the mountain top to impart the mystic benefits of his new electronic musicianship?
Everything is running late and A Destructive Issue aren't sure if they are soundchecking or actually on stage for real.
They say that in every decade, there was some great music. It just takes us time to realise it. It took the 1980's years to recover from synthesiser pop which, was rebuked for its mechanical, recapitulatory ideals at the behest of the mainstream.
I always deem it wise to respect an artist's decision to go solo (rather than ask questions) and especially those who then decide to produce a solo album, all that despair, loss; love and heartbreak in one album must surely be an intense experience to put yourself through?
Is this night at the Mixing Tin proof that the traditional guitar / bass / drums / vocals band set up is dying out and becoming tired?
Orange Goblin @ Rio (Bradford)
With last week being the 50th anniversary of Elvis recording "That's all right mama" I've been kinda depressed.
Detroit Cobras are a ballsy and real 'covers' band with a difference. Operating in various guises since 1994, their repertoire consists of garage-type covers of forgotten Motown, soul and rock'n'roll classics.
Well, I told you all about this gig - so those that didn't come along missed a real music treat! Johnson House are a real enigma of a band, and probably Leeds' best kept secret.
Fran Rodgers: Let The Rain Fall
Fran Rodgers is making me cold. This room was warm a minute ago, in fact the thermostat says 23°C but my body is freezing because the inconsiderate woman is giving me a serious chill.
Four Tet @ Brudenell Social Club
After a feeding frenzy to buy tickets back in the heady days of summer, I was expecting a wee bit more excitement amongst the gig-goers for this one.
Deckard: Dreams of Dynamite and Divinity
The wonderful music industry in this country is so thorough you can totally rely that if there's a band out there you should know about they will do their utmost to work hard in ensuring the music will reach you via the airwaves, live performances and on a format affordable for your pocket!
This one's been giving me some bother I don't mind telling you, and I'm relieved other reviewers have been so positive about it.
Neils Children: Always the Same
Wow that's a sick guitar sound! Yet it pounds around my head picking up on each one of my senses. This is a crazy indie-punk number from Neils Children, sounding like The Futureheads mixed with Pistols-esque vocals yet they have their own unique psychedelic feel to the piece.
Band names get more elaborate these days. It's a shame the music they produce doesn't. Now It's Overhead are very dull to watch and listen to.
Cypress Hill: What's Your Number
I bet the remaining members of The Clash are laughing their asses off on a regular basis. Not only do they still have an army of loyal fans after all this time, but pretty much all their more groovy stuff gets sampled.
A half-filled room welcomed London-based three-piece The Primms onto the stage. Having heard the quite average two-track "Do You Know The Future?" EP (released on Destabilize Records), my hopes were less than high, and, unfortunately, the same blandness and mediocrity of their recordings was evident in The Primms' live set.
Ethan Daniel Davidson: Free the Ethan Daniel Davidson Five
A chance encounter with a couple of drunken Americans leads to me receiving a few albums from Detroit's Times Beach Records for review.
We're Not The Cool Kids: I'm A Hungry Little Girl EP
If somebody told me that Mary Cook (a.k.a. We're Not The Cool Kids) lived an entirely solitary existence, away from anybody else's music or influence, I think I'd believe them, at least for a minute (that being the minute that someone informed me that there was a Springsteen cover on her EP).
Stiff Little Fingers @ Holmfirth Picturedrome
Stiff Little Fingers in Holmfirth? The sound of tinkling tea cups shattered by Belfast power chords? Mohicans mixing with the blue rinse brigade?
The Glitterati @ Fibbers (York)
"We all wanna be big, big stars but we don't know why and we don't know how". So sang Counting Crows, which subsequently became their 'how'.
drum 'n bass
What a day to pick as your headline slot at the Vine... 9-11 was host to some damn fine rock action tonight, and not the sort that usually has me in a spin...
Easy Star All Stars @ Irish Centre
A band who'd do whole Reggae cover albums of prog rock classics invite dismissal as a novelty act, but for years, largely until the Bob Marley/Roots revolution of the early/mid seventies, Jamaican artists commonly interpreted the work of American and UK artists.
The second night of the reborn It's Gone Ballistic, the weekly local band showcase taking place at the Rocket Venue on a Tuesday night saw a male-female split.
Nash are a funky outfit who like the headliners are charming and confident. Their lead singer is a more gruff (i.e.
Urban Eyez @ Unity Day Festival 2003
Hyde Park's Unity Day Festival could be described as a mini Glastonbury, complete with kid's field, several music stages and all sorts to look at and petitions to sign.
Southampton scamps Black Nielson swan onto the stage with all the demeanour of your average tramp plodding down the lane to the offie to buy a four pack of kestrel super strength.
Republic of Loose: This Is The Tomb Of The Juice
Sounding pretty similar to one of Josh Homme's myriad of side projects, Republic of Loose are actually closer to jazz/soul or Dr John-esque funk than dirty, scuzzy rock.
The Meters, Conny Price, Jimmy Smith. So much brilliant instrumental Jazz Funk has passed through my ears that I find it hard to be impressed in recent times, but I was intrigued to see why a band that had only been around three years (with many line-up changes I may add) had been getting their performance at Edinburgh Fringe Festival hailed as: "highly energetic" and "powerful and absorbing." I arrived into Leeds Uni's Mine Bar to a quite unsettling atmosphere, with a tense omnipresence about the place.
Not to dwell on the past, but my anticipation for this double single from Lewis Denby was so much after his critically-acclaimed 'Lookout Posts and Telescopes' EP which I had been lucky enough to cast my critical ears over last summer.
I want to buy a cabassa, delve my bear feet into warm sand and let my hair blow around me while the sea breeze tickles my nose.
Firstly an apology (always a bad way to start I know, but unavoidable), having arrived halfway through their final song, there is little that can be fairly said about Kenosha except they have the right sort of haircuts.
Cathy Simpson talks to The Blueskins about music, festivals, The Beatles and lazy journalism...
Little Japanese Toy @ Life Bar
Life Bar is a hollowed-out cavern of swank, devoid of an audience, save a handful of people, and obviously not accustomed to its new guise as a platform for Leeds' thriving music scene.
Leeds jazzes up the August Bank Holiday weekend for the first Big City Jazz festival
A dizzying line-up of acts has been announced for the first Big City Jazz festival in Leeds on August Bank Holiday weekend.
Bright Young Things 2008: the 15 successful bands are revealed
Following an intense two-day judging process, the fifteen successful acts for Bright Young Things 2008 have been announced today.
It's already the penultimate Futuresound heat but nobody seems to be tiring just yet. In fact, given this evening's exciting array of artists, there will perhaps be a higher number of people disappointed to see the competition wind up than those relieved to push it towards its conclusion.
The Last Three Months Are Blank...? Scott Silverlode Writes....
Good morning, noon or night to all you Loders out there. Through the most undemocratic of processes I have been nominated to supply with your long-over due mouthful of all things Silverlode. It's been a wopping three months since the last news update and you'd probably think there'd be lots to tell you, and well...you'd be right.
You say nu-metal and I say nu-punk, nu-metal, nu-punk, nu-metal, nu-punk, hey let's call the whole thing off!
Beautiful Feet @ Royal Park Cellars
I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that as much as anything else when it comes to gigs, the 'flow' of an evening's entertainment is as important as the quality of the music in catching and holding people's attention.
Various Artists: The Nyquist Theory
The Nyquist Theory is a compilation of tracks that emerged from the talent that lay around the offices of Hampshire's Hackpen Records.
Now this my friends is indefinably kooky, a little bit whey a little bit whoa, slightly off centre, away from the norm, granted a bit geeky but nevertheless something smoulderingly original that you will not have come across before.
I am told that Sugarvalve are a 'heavier Foo Fighters' but for the few songs that I hear they sound more like a bad Aerosmith.
four day Hombre @ Royal Park Cellars
Things must be looking up for a venue when it is chosen by independent record labels to showcase breaking talent at nights headlined by top local acts.
Instant Species: Robert The Bruces Spider
First, a little story... It was at The Junction in York 2003 when I felt truly rock and roll for the first time.
Various Artists: Holly Is The Enemy
For years the beguiling Holly Hernandez has charmed this scribe through her 'Demo Hell' column in the Melody Maker and more latterly the NME.
Underground rock mega-haven, The Vine, looks bare and empty tonight. A smattering of people enjoy their overpriced drinks in relative silence.
Daft Punk @ Wireless Festival 2007
With my usual Sunday morning lie in, and the insistence of a cooked breakfast, I didn't arrive at Harewood House until after 3.30pm; arriving just in time to see Datarock leave the stage.
The monthly TTS, or the Tea Time Shuffle, could soon become an institution. It's Friday, it's 6 o'clock, the Hi-Fi bar is well and truly open and 3 and a half of Leeds finest bands are playing before your increasingly Southern Comforted eyes and all for just a fiver.
An evening of contrasts at the New Roscoe was enjoyed by a pleasantly sizable crowd - given that it was a Wednesday night and clashed with the nation's prima donnas kicking a bag of wind with scant success - proof, if proof be need be, that live music at grass roots level is alive and kicking.
There are countless questions that can, and inevitably have, been raised about the Futuresound Competition.
The Scaramanga Six: Cabin Fever
"Glad you all could join me, on another pointless journey". So begins the 2nd album proper of Wrath's finest premium export The Scaramanga Six.
... A funny thing happened to me on the way to the refectory. Actually it didn't, I was just late. Almost as late in fact as the members of The Basement are for the Dylan bandwagon that they seem so keen to jump on.
A sparsely populated Rocket bar greets us tonight, surprising considering who is playing but nevertheless, we obtain some drinks and make our way to two of the twelve spare stools.
It all sits a bit on knife-edge this one; I can't be the only one that feels it. The sweet, sweet taste of anticipation impregnates ever fibre of my body and, in empathy with a dog on heat, I pace round the Refec like a chained beast.
2002 - How was it for you?
Something's not quite right. As we walk into the Cockpit, I'm forced to dash behind the nearest jukebox as I hear a haunting "Exterminaaaaate" from behind me.
Neil Cowley Trio @ Millennium Square
The Leeds Jazz festival has become an easy way for the average music lover to be exposed to a whole host of talented Jazz musicians from across the UK.
Andy Buchan catches up with The Charlatans drummer Jon Brookes...
The Sunshine Underground @ The Vine
Walker's instruments are powerful: drums are hit, guitars are thwacked, bass is appropriately loud; 'tis a shame that the vocals can't cope/don't try.
The Butterfly @ Brudenell Social Club
The Engine Room is made of metal this evening as the most entertaining DIY night in Leeds introduces us to three bands that are as heavy as led - The Butterfly, Mishkin and the wonderfully titled White Boys for No.10 Down Syndrome Street (more usually known as (the slightly more offensive) White Boys For Gay Jesus).
The Who @ Wireless Festival 2006
We are ferried at high speed towards said venue by Geldard's Coaches, allowing us time to fuel up on Heineken.
It doesn't seem all that long ago that you would see a Kaiser Chief every week, most often behind a bar.
The first band to take to the stage tonight are the local three-piece punk-rock outfit Erin's Third Incident.
Victoria Holdsworth chats with Kava Kava main guy Pat Fulgoni.
Yet another cosmopolitan line-up, yet another eclectic yet highly accomplished night of music. This job certainly ain't getting any harder.
Another Saturday, once again striving for that elusive intimate gig, the night that blows all the others out of the water, the Leeds hard rock fraternity, raise two fingers defiantly toward its heavily subscribed, yet vastly popular indie scene, and turn out in force to the one place they feel at home.
There is laughter in the air tonight; people look determined to have fun. Young innocent faces rejuvenate my past and my Sixth Form days come flooding back to me.
Student feeding-ground by day, 'The Refectory' at Leeds University Union may not seem like the obvious location for a night of top musical entertainment, but I was certainly impressed by the sound and light show at the excellent Placebo gig here this time last year.
The Summerfield @ Joseph's Well
The room downstairs at Joseph's Well had been taken over by tables and chairs and subtle candlelight.
Various Artists: Bright Young Things 2002
The Bright Young Things CD for 2002 is being distributed by Leeds City Council in April as a free addition to the glossy and widely available Leeds Guide.
Guided by Voices: Human Amusement at Hourly Rates
I'd heard Guided By Voices albums are notoriously erratic with songwriter Robert Pollard obviously missing a prominent branch of musicians philosophy best personified by Creedance Clear Water Revivals John Fogerty: "It doesn't make it mo' betta when you add mo' junk".
Upon entering Jesse Malin's dressing room at Sheffield's Club Zero we encounter not only the man himself but also a bowl of jelly babies. This can only be a good thing...
Duels @ Woodhouse Liberal Club
Dance to the Radio was an event. Is it possible to review an event? Even straight description couldn't get deep enough into the complexities and impossibilities of making such a thing not just happen but happen so brilliantly.
Yo La Tengo @ West Yorkshire Playhouse
You gotta love the music industry. I arrive at the rather plush West Yorkshire Playhouse excited, yet a little nervous because of all this guest list stuff.
four day Hombre @ Royal Park Cellars
There's a vibe in the air tonight, a tangible, swelling excitement that seems to accompany the Hombre lads everywhere they travel.
Fall Out Boy is: Patrick Stump - Vocals, Guitar Joe Trohman - Guitar Andy Hurley - Drums Pete Wentz - Bass, Backing vocals While walking across the stage to receive the MTV2 Award for "Sugar, We're Going Down," the only thing on Fall Out Boy bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz's mind was "please don't drop an f-bomb." Shortly thereafter the band, originally from suburban Chicago, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
Leeds Music Scene speaks to Rob and Paul from The Automatic after their set at Leeds Festival 2008
By all rights Shatner really ought to be extinct. Given that the Big Brothers who quietly go about the business of corrupting the nation's youth decided to adopt the policies of Pol Pot somewhere around the late 90s, someone ought to have got round to sending Jim Bower & co to the glue factory by now.
AntiProduct @ Brudenell Social Club
Sex, Drugs, Profanity, Leaping, Stripping, Heckling, Moshing, Exploding Equipment, Biting the heads off bats...
In a full transcription of the interview that appeared in the May 16 issue of the YEP, Andy Roberts talks to Noble - guitarist from eclectic Bowie-esque soon-to-be superstars British Sea Power about growing up in Leeds and more...
Badly Drawn Boy: Have You Fed the Fish
Badly Drawn Boy's "Have You Fed the Fish" (AKA All Possibilities) is a recording project devoted to two questions: "who is Damon Gough?", and "how can he survive as an aspiring artist in 2002?".
In all the years of being a fan this was the first time I saw Marc 'live'. I had seen former associates of his from Vicious Pink some time back.
Truvine @ Tut'n'Shive (Wakefield)
So this is the location for Wakefield's newest acoustic night (featuring two non-acoustic bands tonight, just for the hell of it).
"Being a promoter is terrifying" - Leeds guitar virtuoso Jon Gomm takes on the promoter-role as he brings his 'Leeds Guitar Night' concept to the Brudenell Social Club on July 6th.
