Going to Ireland on Tour and crossing the UK/EU Border using a Carnet

Going to Ireland on Tour and crossing the UK/EU Border using a Carnet

If you have Tour Dates in Ireland and you’re travelling with a Carnet for your Musical Equipment, Mark at Iron Man Records explains how to keep it simple when crossing the UK/EU Border in a Splitter Van. I took Sinead O’Brien to Ireland in October 2022 working as Tour Manager via Holyhead to Dublin Port. Here’s what I would recommend if you have Tour Dates to play, the UK/EU Border to cross, and…

Which countries do you think vbs are going to go after surpassing rw?

Some of the streets in the new sekai area are said to be based on Mexico (from a photobook Kohane saw), Hamburg, Boston (both places Toya has been), and Argentina (probably in part due to football, it was in Akito's chapter). In Kohane's chapter, it's said that the music playing in the street she's in is latin, but no country is named. India is also referenced. I think those would be pretty interesting in all honesty, and they already built some connections between them and the members, except An.

Spitfire Parade' by Swell Maps is a track that echoes the chaotic and raw spirit of post-punk.

So I got to see Hadestown yesterday and I wanted to share some highlights.

It's obvious even when listening to the album that Orpheus is extremely innocent, but seeing his face and mannerisms makes it even more obvious and more tragic.

When Hades comes for Persephone he and Eurydice exchange looks and Orpheus jumps in front of her to block Hades view.

The woman who played Persephone faked a lisp to seem drunker for most of the play but whenever she said something serious she dropped the lisp which just added to the effect that her words had.

When Orpheus says "to the world we dream about and the one we live in now" everything goes dead quiet. No music, no movement just those words.

When Eurydice is looking for food the fates rip off her jacket and her coat.

The entrance to the train station is a bay door that opens to reveal a bright panel of lights and smoke.

When Orpheus takes the back entrance to Hadestown the set separates to let him through just like the rocks split in the original myth.

When Hades says "I conduct the electric city" the lights get so bright that it is blinding.

When Orpheus sings for Hades there are three spot lights; one for him, one for Eurydice and one for Persephone.

Hades and Persephone dancing. Also the way Orpheus holds Eurydice.

The works all wear caps that make them look almost identical. When Orpheus makes them remember their lives they take the hats off.

The stage is so dark and smoky when Orpheus is walking that even the audience does not know if Eurydice is there.

They light up a set of stairs and a doorway to represent the end of the journey back to the surface. When Orpheus turns around there are audible gasps from the audience and the bay doors slowly close on Eurydice.

At the very end, they reset the entire stage to make it look exactly like it did when they started emphasizing that they will never stop telling the story.

That got a bit long, but there is so much to say. I honestly barely covered half of it. It's an incredible show and if you ever get the chance to see it you should.

Took a trip to my favourite Guitar shop in Brum to drop off my hodgepodge Warwick bass for a setup, recorded a little noodle with it below 😊

Are you having a good summer so far? Kids doing you head in yet? Fancy one big blow out before everything goes back to normal, the traffic kicks in, and we all have to start getting up early again??

Well how about joining us for the end of summer bash to end all of them at the Cask & Craft in Boldmere, Sutton Coldfield, to enjoy a night of #beats, #breaks, #funk, #soul, #hiphop, #house, and whatever else we can slam in between??

And as always, Chris will make sure the finest #craftbeer and spirits known to man keep flowing too...

See you downstairs, yeah?

It's a shame Swell Maps only released two proper albums and a handful of maxi singles. This is from their second album, chaotic, weird and just wonderful!!
