HOT GIG TICKETS

STAFF

Go right ahead and read a bit about the good people who make the gaff tick.

^ Lumi was co-founded and is co-owned by Andy Inglis [pronounced Ing-gills, not Ing-gliss], along with John Donnelly (more about John below). Check him out up there, standing next to the Loch Ness Monster on a trip to the Highlands. You can email him here. He will want to talk about Le Tour de France, the rums of the world (particularly those from Venezuela and the Dominican Republic), the nuances, history and theory of tie knots, and the country of Norway. He occasionally grows a beard with great success. If you're looking for a gift for him (perhaps to thank him for guest list - not enough people say thanks for guest list in this business), cake is always a winner. Good cake, though. No cheap rubbish. Expensive tarts, that kind of thing. Or a return airline ticket to Oslo. Or a Superga jacket from around 1998. Or a Left Hand Thermojoint coat that actually fits him, instead of the one he bought instead of buying the Superga jacket, even though the Thermojoint is 4 sizes too big for him. The fucking idiot.

^ Our General Manager is Mr. Danny Black, California's last living cotton-picker. He started out around here as our Artist Liaison but then we recognised his true calling, and promoted him. He keeps the bar in shape (and also The King's Head), the beers flowing and the staff in line and good working order. An important man, then. Get in touch with him here. And if you work in fashion then perhaps you can dissuade him from wearing that hideous purple hoodie he insists on putting on. Check him out up there on his moped. Thinks he's Evel Knievel’s son or something...

^ Tim Ferguson is one of our two house photographers and we're very pleased to welcome him on board. At the time of writing we had only recently met so we didn't know much about him, other than his name was (and still is) Tim Ferguson, and he took real nice pictures. You can see for yourself here. Well, we asked Tim to tell us a bit about himself, and this is what he said, which leads us to believe he's single and very willing indeed to meet all-comers for fun, frolics and possible romance:

"Designer by day. Musician by night. Keen eye for photography. Likes to travel to foreign cities and explore at length (3 - 12 months) on bicycle capturing sounds and sights. I'm on the cusp of Virgo and Libra for what it's worth - so you get to pick which you prefer when we get it on, and then later when you're looking for an out, you're free of concience to switch then dump... Want to know more? Call me... I'm easy..."

Luckily, he did not provide his phone number.

^ Our other house photographer is Anika Mottershaw. We asked her to give us some descrptive words on herself and this is what she delivered to us: "I like taking photos, going to gigs, illustrating, drawing comics, making animations and I promote my own shows too. I'm 19 years old and moved to London a year and a half ago from Kent to go to university to do business. I didn't like it very much and dropped out, got lots of work experience, and worked at Songkick all summer, and now I get to do fun stuff like draw all day and make music videos. I've been to over 200 gigs since I moved to London. And I write this blog here where I get all swoony about bands I love."

^ The land that The Luminaire (and the KIng's Head) stands on is owned by Mr. John Donnelly, who very kindly let Andy convince him that a live music venue in Kilburn was a good idea. John Donnelly keeps the ship afloat. You will never see John Donnelly and Chuck Norris in the same place.

John Donnelly doesn't sleep - he waits.
