Sunday 31 January | Snafu | 9pm | £6
A little reminder for this one, the second of The Dirty Hearts Club’s 4th Birthday nights (Thursday with the Filthy Dukes was a stormer by all accounts). There’s a wee bit more info in our previous post here (the competition’s closed now, obviously). Get down early to catch Findo Gask live. Good band…

Music: Mr Scruff

Saturday 5 December | The Warehouse | 11pm | £12.50 adv/£15 door
When you look up ‘eclecticism’ in the dictionary there may well be a picture of Manchester DJ/producer Mr Scruff. Actually, there won’t. Dictionaries don’t have pictures. Unless it’s some sort of special picture dictionary. Or one for kids or something. Always hated that phrase. Ridiculous.
Anyway, said tea-obsessed DJ brings a four-hour set with all the trimmings to The Warehouse tonight. Expect everything from original blues to house, tea stalls, incredibly cool merchandise, a venue festooned with his famed funky artwork…the whole shebang. If you’ve been anywhere near the club scene over the last ten years, you’ll know about this man, probably have at least one of his albums/mixes kicking around somewhere and will be looking forward to this immensely. If you haven’t, his superb website is as good a place to start as any. Recommended.

Music: Allen Toussaint

This show has been cancelled. See homepage/post above for details
Producer, songwriter, solo artist…Allen Toussaint’s 40-year career has seen him work with some of the best in the business, as well as almost single-handedly crafting the New Orleans R&B/Funk sound of the Sixties and Seventies. Session painist for Fats Domino, writer of Lee Dorsey’s ‘Get Out Of My Life Woman’ (see below) and ‘Working In A Coalmine‘, producer of legendary band The Meters and LaBelle’s ‘Lady Marmalade‘…the list goes on. This is going to be amazing.
