Electric Delorean

Personally, I'd still prefer a fusion powered model.

A near flawless set and perfect venue elevated this to more than just another MMJ show.

Fresh, White Denim

White Denim's new EP "Takes Place In Your Workspace" is not available in the UK iTunes store, but a quick Google search points out a free download from White Denim themselves. In other reverse-promotion-record-release news, the band's awesome and previously free album "Last Day of Summer" will be available to buy on CD from December.

Top Boy

Utterly outstanding, multi-stranded British urban drama. Beautifully shot, written and acted. Catch it on 4OD.

Life In A Day

Touching, inspiring, crowd sourced documentary. Like a people-centric Koyannisqatsi.

Unstoppable

More unsubtle, pretentious action from Denzel and Tony Scott. Must have been inspired after Pelham 123.

At Close Range

Well handled, tense 80s angst classic, with Penn(s), Walken and Glover amongst the rogues gallery.

Halliwell says: Relentlessly brutal, dispiriting and quite pointless melodrama, even with the saving grace of a factual basis.

John Mayall

Poole Lighthouse

This was our second John Mayall concert - the first was in 1967 (UCL Union); so only a wait of 44 years in between. In that time John, who remains one of the godfathers of British blues, has made many albums, lived a life of constant touring and launched the careers of many rock & blues legends - Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor and John McVey to name but a few.

This was the 6th night of a 25 date British tour that ends 18th November. The band retains a traditional line up of Rocky Athas - lead guitar, Greg Rzab - bass guitar, Jay Davenport - drums. Remarkably, Mayall did all the vocals, played keyboard and/or harmonica on all numbers apart from one, when he played guitar - not bad for a 77 year old!

The programme consisted of many standard rhythm and blues pieces, which were all played at a high technical level with a lot of feeling. Particularly memorable were “All Your Love” and “Parchment Farm” from the Blues Breakers (the Beano) Album.

Supporting act was from the Oli Brown Band.
