London is getting ready

for Trump's visit again. 

Faye Webster @ Rough Trade East

I though a bit of live music and taking a few photographs would be an excellent midday break and get my brain working again, but the melancholic sounds did not really cure my Monday melancholia.

Lunchtime

with Hayden Thorpe 

and evening drinks with Hannah Johnson (and the Broken Hearts)

Sound Unbound

A wonderful two day festival in and around The Barbican, where I saw a few great venues and a few interesting performances. This photo is of Liam Bryne playing at the Charterhouse. 

Revisiting Sister Rosetta's evening

 This time with Naomi Larsson

 Laura Tenschert

 Lorraine Wood

And Angie Gannon.

Saint Agnes

at Rough Trade West

Day 1 of Portobello live

 It all started off, early in afternoon, with Portobello Live Choir at Maxilla Social Club

followed by The Beautiful Thing, after which I walked to the Italian Job to listen to some poetry (and music, and book readings) where I heard and saw 

Marrk Jackkson

Ray 'Roughler' Jones

Tommy Kennedy IV

Alexa Maclean

Angel Strong

Sophia Milner

Chris Chasney, and which I decided it was time to move again, so I went to Mau-Mau, for something completely different 

in the form of Philips Man & Lolo

But didn't stop there for long, as I was meeting some friends at Maxilla, so back to Maxilla and some Lily Bud

Freak Elite

Richard Strange

After all of that I walked to Subterania to see Kitty, Daisy

and Lewis after which I called it a night. 

Almost like Phil Collins at Live Aid

(but without the Concorde and without the two continents and all that malarkey). But I did see Johhny Lloyd at lunchtime at Rough Trade East and then I had a brilliant walk in glorious sunshine interrupted by several showers across London

 to see Tom The Lion at Rough Trade West for an afternoon show.
