Music: Live At The Beach (Reprise)
February 11, 2010
There’s a great overview on the excellent Mood of Collapse of what went down at last Saturday’s Live at The Beach, Jon (who writes said blog) did some of the visuals and very kindly put The Kiosque logo and URL up on the screens as part of a loop which played in between the bands. Unfortunately, as I stood there, drink in hand, marvelling, I neglected to take a photo (or should I say, neglected to ask someone who actually had a camera with them to take a photo for me). Eejit.
Anyway, it looked fantastic, cheers Jon! Thanks to the organisers, the bands & the many punters too, the Beach Ballroom (a bit tatty round the edges but with a refurb on the way) is a pretty cool venue. Let’s hope it’s the first of many shows like this…

Episode 2 – Podfellas
After being wowed by new French movie A Prophet, staff at The Belmont discuss why subtitled films aren’t as popular as they should be, then try to sum it all up with a play on a popular proverb about horses. Or something…
PS: Apologies for the intermittent mobile phone interference (particularly at the start), we’ll try and work out the sound quality issue in future. Anyway…
