To quote the Juneau Brothers
So, imagine the scenario: it’s tomorrow (Thursday 2nd February), you’ve had your tea and you’ve got at least £3 you would like to spend. We recommend you spend those golden coins on an entrance ticket to BOYD 5 at the Bulls Head. 3 bands, 2 DJs, 1 of the best ways to spend a Thursday evening.
Seems Music For DXing caught the ears of the musicinoxford.co.uk crew, with a mention in their “favourite releases of 2011″ list and a nice, short summing up:
Thanks guys!
Found a rehearsal recording of this on a random MP3 trawl the other night and realised we had a clip of it from a live gig…
This was an awfully hot summer night down in High Wycombe, but it was jolly good fun.
Well, we had so much fun at BOYD the first that we did it again, this time at the Bull’s Head in Moseley with promoters Marclar. This time Papa November and Them Use Them were joined by Deep Grass and Juneau Brothers.
I supplied guitar as part of Papa November’s set like last time…though there was no bandit makeup as we were keepin’ a tight reign on the timings.
All is revealed in the video below…
There should be a BOYD III on the 24th November too…
Good old First Fold Records had a bash at Grand Union Studios in Birmingham, with The Plague Doctor, Pierre and Karlheinz, The Resource Centre, The Assembled Minds, Papa November and Einstellung.

I was guesting on guitar with Papa November, and a splendid time was had. See the video below!
I saw Lifescreen up in Leeds back in April and was blown away – they are an incredible rock group and now, even more incredibly, they’re giving away their back catalogue for free! Download it ALL here and ask yourself why this band are not MASSIVE!
Played a short set of improvised grooves at the Premier Pli launch, part of Gareth Courage’s “From The Ashes Of Industry We Rise” exhibition. I played guitar and Stu checked his email…(!)
Thanks to Maria for the video!
