Fri 20th An evening in memory of Andy McGoldrick DIRTY DO GOODS + The Natives + The Baskervilles + My Hero Is Zero + DJs Fallout [Bosh!], Toppy [Push The Button], Soulboy Mystic Collective [Push The Button]
Doors 7.30 The Andy McGoldrick memorial gig at Luminaire last July was an emphatic tribute to a man loved by so many throughout his life. On that special day, an array of friends took to the stage to deliver an inspirational night of music that Andy would have truly been proud of. It's one year on since Andy's tragic loss, and another cast of his close friends return to Luminaire to pay tribute to his legacy, and to raise funds for a charity who Andy worked with so devotedly throughout his life. Dirty Do Goods's tunes are just like their performances - loud, bouncy and rowdy ditties that urge you to move your body. Couple these tunes with the onstage chemistry between the two vocalists, the effortless swagger of the rhythm section, and Leon Dee's impeccable guitars, and you're left with something to get very excited about. A band very close to Andy in many ways, the Do Goods head-up this bill from Harrow's hot bed of talent that had in some way been touched by Andy's work. The Natives and their "charming brand of agitated riot pop." [NME] had considerable success earlier this year with infectious debut single 'Bright Lights' and tours with Rifles and Milburn only proved that the band is built for success. Their attitude-laden live show is something not to be missed, as devoted, sweaty fans sing every word back to enigmatic front man Darren Gallagher. The Baskervilles are an indie quintet fronted by poet dreamer Danny Sparrow, whose tunes, melodies and lyrics trigger thoughts of something quintessentially English. Already followed by an avid fanbase, The Baskervilles produce the kind of singalongs ('Lebanon' and 'Londoner') deserving of the bigger stage.
Former Do Good Paul Gillen returns and opens the night with the first ever gig of his new project My Hero is Zero. The punk quartet seem intent on taking on allcomers, as they are quoted on their myspace as saying "single-handedly delivering a karate chop to the bowels of the music industry". See them here first! |
