So can you believe that last week played host to the second ditch the drums down at The Hideaway? It seems only yesterday that I was sweating over the idea of putting on a new night, but it's fair to say that so far so good....though that is easy say when yo have the likes of Dear Winesburg, Tom Phonetic and Eddie Halliday happy to put on an evenings entertainment for you.
Tom Phonetic played his heart through an electrifying set - forget first gig jitters as he belted tunes out of his 6 strings faster than a new kitchen for Samantha Cameron at no 10. Expect plenty of Tom Phonetic mania to take hold of Tuckshop Community Radio this summer.
Second up was the always impressive Eddie Halliday who was taking a break out from his heavy recording sessions with post rock band Wayter. A more stripped down version of his lo-fi folky pop than we normally see, however it was stripped down lo-fi folky pop of the highest order so everyone was pretty happy.
Words can't really describe how fantastic Dear Winesburg are, one american attendee on the night said to me "this band are so totally fresh - I'm like so excited" and quite frankly I think everyone who was down to witness their set will all agree with that perfectly expressed sentence. Things are looking good for Dear Winesburg, plenty of plays on Radio 6, a cracking new album and a load more new fans for ditch the drums. Tuckshop have spent quite a bit if time with them this year but I'm not to sure how long we'll have this luxury as plenty of new suitors are now knocking on their door.
