111 Fri 9/6/17: Half Moon, Hitchin

Beer: Young’s Special 4.5%

Thurls has organised a gig in Hitchin’s Club ’85 with The Knockouts playing after (rather than any thought of headlining over) John Hegley. The venue looks good from the sound check, although I feel for Mart’ in that such a venture was normally his and my concern; over 100 Village Green Cinema shows we put on one gig, again Hegley and Knockouts (at the time, and though it turned out fine, it was very stressful).

 

Afterwards we retire for a couple at the Half Moon, which is an excellent pub – and is suitably packed on a Friday evening as a result. We manage to find a table outside and have a nice little pre-gig drink away from the venue. There we talk of renewed hope in the politic after the unexpectedly promising result of yesterday’s general election. Labour, despite the despicable right wing press, did extraordinarily well (including holding both Luton seats). Good old Jeremy Corbyn (and Kelvin Hopkins).
