Clutch and I went and saw Canadian band The Besnard Lakes play live at the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath. I’d heard a few of their songs, and Clutch is a bit of a fan, so we went along.
They were superb. Really tight band – really great music. They had some technical difficulties along the way but charged on through and played an absolute scorcher of a set.
Afterwards I bought a screen print poster, and Clutch bought a record and a poster – and we managed to get them all autographed by all the members of the band.
Yes, I’m a 42 year-old man, hanging around after gigs for autographs of rock bands I see in pubs. What of it?


I’ve got 20 years on you Dubber and I’m doing exactly the same. No-one understands. Sod ’em.
