jeremy warmsley @ the spread eagle

before i get into the details of the gig, let me first tell you a bit about the rather dubious venue. to start with it was one of the reasons why we moved to the east end. well not for this specific venue, but more for the fact that we can walk for a grand total of 4 minutes from our front door to a venue to see an amazing gig. we even considered heading back and watching a bit of telly between the bands - not very rock and roll i know - but you get the picture

ok, the venue. well i know that it won't be too difficult for you to get an idea about the place - the SPREAD EAGLE - and yes it does mean that. so for those of you who don't have your mind in the gutter i shall elaborate. in its glory days, the spread eagle was a shinny beacon amongst the many strip clubs within the east end. being the nostalgic bunch that they are in the spread eagle, they have even decided to leave one of the poles that the (i am sure) lovely ladies used to perform on. this afore mentioned poll served quite well when one of the bands were looking for a 'makeshift cowbell'.

now onto mr warmsley. just brilliant basically. having heard a few of tracks via his myspace site, i had a rough idea about what he would sound like. however, even on the rubbish PA his voice was amazing. having bought along a band for the show, they sounded a little like when bob dylan went electric. 'dirty blue jeans' was the clear stand out track.

so a small but appreciative crowd enjoyed a solid show from jeremy warmsley - sans poll dance
