Rain, Music and Poetry

It may have been ridiculously wet yesterday, but whatever the elements may throw at it, an evening at the Adelphi never disappoints. It was Musicians' Night last night for open mic, Adelphi-style. And inspite of hideous weather a decent crowd was in attendence. Really friendly staff and audience and some excellent musicians make this a great night which even welcomes the occaisional poet. Great to see both some familiar faces and some performers I haven't seen before doing their thing on the Adelphi stage. Huge thanks to everyone who suggested that going along was a good idea!

Musicians' Night at the Adelphi

Tonight, Ashley's busy Summer continues at Musicians' Night at the Adelphi on De Grey Street, Hull. For those who do not know the place, the Adelphi is an iconic venue having hosted (to name but a few bands) Pulp, The Stone Roses, Radiohead, Green Day and Oasis. This will be Ashley's first appearance at the Adelphi since last year's Larkin25 festival saw Write to Speak and thisisull.com host a night there.

Josip Pesut at Xanders

An exciting evening in store tonight for Off The Road at Xanders on Newland Avenue. In addition to the usual eclectic mix of open micers, Croatian guitarist Josip Pesut will performing. Josip is currently on a mini tour of the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands having achieved some fame in Croatia by reaching the semi-finals of the TV talent show "Supertalent". His first album, "The Life" will be released later this year.
