Blog: Leicesterval Is Announced

< previous

Great joy rang around my world yesterday as the line-up for LEICESTERVAL 2027 was announced, and LO! Hibbett & Christopher are on it!



This gig was booked with Mr S Tyers MONTHS ago and ever since I have been desperate to a) add it to The Database Of ROCK and b) SHOW OFF about it, and so I was mightily pleased to find that this momentous day had finally come. I was ALSO delighted to see lots of PALS and FELLOW TRAVELLERS playing at various points over the weekend and ESPECIALLY to to see that Language Of Flowers are playing - I was disappointed I couldn't go and see their comeback gig a few weeks ago, but now I can see them in lovely Leicester. HOORAH!

SOCIALS etc being what they are in the modern climate means that Simon also supplied us with our own "tile", which is what they call it now for one of them SQUARES on Instagram that have, for many purposes, replaced the old-fashioned gig poster. Here it is:



You may be wandering why I have not already shared the above on The Socials MYSELF, and the answer is straightforward, if somewhat cloaked in mystery. For LO! I certainly AM going to be sharing this on socials, but probably not until next week and probably not (directly at least) on my USUAL socials. For LO! AGANE! a whole new SUITE of WEB STUFF is coming your way, along with ANOTHER exciting announcement which I have been DESPERATE to share with all and sundry for almost as long. Consider yourself... ENTHRALLED!!
