One of the most uplifting and fun nights out of the year @O2AcademyIsl last night:
Steve Kudlow, was living his absolute best life, Chris Robertson’s bass chicanery deserved a show in its own right and the utter legend, Robb Reiner, smashed a masterclass on the tubs and pies 🤘🏻🫡

[CheddarGorge @GorgeCheddar]

A tour de force from the underrated and tremendously talented @thedears at The Garage tonight. What a lot of definite articles.
If you’re unaware of the Candian indie wizzards, Murray Lightburn and damn well sing and their musicality is second to none: https://t.co/PQ8fsgim9j

A thundering set this evening @thelexington from the fizzing @robocobraquartz
One hour of well-honed musical gold driven along by the heavy punch of Chris Ryan’s drums & acid drop-sharp vocals

Last night @EBallroomCamden, #GSYBE were mesmeric with their transcendent, shamanistic soundscapes. Brilliant 🙌🏻

On this changeable Saturday afternoon, Sønin is delivering an absolute banger of a set at the @Anjunabeats Rising stage @DockyardsLondon 🎧

Continuing the @EOTR retrospective it was a pleasure to bear witness to @robocobraquartz who were flown in last minute to the Tipi and were a damn fine musical treat 👊🏻
Just about to go on tour and you’d be doing yourself a favour if you checked them out:

One of most enjoyable, hedonistic and to be quite frank, utterly bonkers acts @EOTR this weekend was the wonderful @LynksLynksLynks: Eurotrash; Eurovision; Eurotunnel.
Brilliant.

[CheddarGorge @GorgeCheddar]

A particular @EOTR Friday highlight came in the form of @kegtheband who smashed it on the @uncutmagazine stage.

Not only are they a proper treat to behold but they’ve also just slipped out their excellent new EP ‘Girders’ 👊🏻

[CheddarGorge @GorgeCheddar]

A brilliant weekend @EOTR launched in fine style on Thursday night with a blistering sharpener from @Pigsx7
who came out of the metaphorical - and maybe literal - farm gate like a Bullx7
The appreciative and dedicated mosh ensnared nearly half the Tipi crowd: bloody wonderful 💪🏻

[Sam Ryder @SamRyderMusic]

Just me and my lovely Swedish buddy Cornelia singing our heads off in a hotel lobby 🚀💛

[CheddarGorge @GorgeCheddar]

Splendid and worthy collaboration between Mind and @YardActBand’s James Smith in support of this last week’s Mental Health Awareness 👊🏻

[Yard Act @YardActBand]

I was asked by @MindCharity to collaborate with one of their clients to write a poem for Mental Health Awareness week. Had the absolute honour of working with Mel to tell her story. #mhaw

In the aftermath of a memorable #Eurovision last night, Kalush Orchestra released their official video.
Powerful stuff: https://t.co/oo92YNHA1K

#Squirrel proof bird feeder, they said...

[CheddarGorge @GorgeCheddar]

Very loosely music-based.
However, thanks to #Eurovision there is a new word this evening:

#Mandelier

[CheddarGorge @GorgeCheddar]

Finally, the No. 1 in the #Eurovision2022 Top 10 countdown.

And the winner is… 🥁

Switzerland 🇨🇭

It’s simply a great song, sung well and has stuck out since the first long haul through the 40 tracks weeks ago.

Proscht, Marius, Proscht 🥂

@emmanent Double Douche!

[CheddarGorge @GorgeCheddar]

No.2 in the #Eurovision2022 Top 10 is the UK with what should have been a decent chance despite Ryder occasionally sounding like Chris De Burgh
However, all Europe will see is Farage waving a straight banana which is a shame as it’s our best song for years

[CheddarGorge @GorgeCheddar]

And it’s the Top 3 in the #Eurovision2022 countdown 💪🏻

At 3 it’s… Iceland with an enjoyable and impressive number which for some reason sparked memories of Simon and Garfunkel’s The Boxer, Stevie Nicks and ZZ Top…
