We are ferried at high speed towards said venue by Geldard's Coaches, allowing us time to fuel up on Heineken.
Andy Roberts heads round to The Somatics' house for a cuppa and a chinwag about their debut platter, local themes canal spotting and how prog will be cool once they release their new album...
With the joyless chore of the Christmas shopping rush just a fortnight away, prepare yourself for the inevitable inaccuracies of every glossy music publication's conveniently-timed 'Best of 2005' lists, (it being an historical fact that record companies only release Greatest Hits packages in December).
Sometimes Annalee would venture into town to see live music in venues she'd never been to before... Time to reassess?
