Van Susans!!

Allo.

Well February 21st saw us back to full strength after the Valentine break and with no need to play horrible love songs or gushy generic professions of love it was back to business!!

News covered included the continuing breakout of rebellion in the Middle East and North Africa which is harrowing, shocking, intriguing and only softened by the silly name of Bahrains capital made famous by the muppets - Manama! Other hot topics of news included the Post Office using too many rubber bands and an Australian town changing its name form Speed to SpeedKills for a month as part of a safety campaign.

I ranted over 2 issues - Firstly local papers feeling the need to point out when a drink driver, burglar or flasher is a father as this somehow makes it worse. Are fathers suddenly not allowed to make mistakes?

Also the issue surrounding Prisoner voting was put to bed once and for all (for me anyway) by asking the question differently - Why are prisoners excused from their duty to vote? Some are worryingly apathetic towards this, some agree, but alarmingly some people think that our Prisons are over flowing with drug taking, child killing, drink driving, murderers and paedophiles who will use their vote to elect someone who will let all prisoners out and free to murder, rape and pillage before being awarded 5 bedroom mansions and ferraris for their trouble.

But the highlight of the show was the live set from Van Susans.

In fact I am sure by the December they will turn out to be a highlight of the year!

Their songs are beautifully crafted and precisely performed with superb lyrics with an easy to instantly fl in love with style! And they were all so damned good looking!!

Check out the video we made and let them know what you think on their Facebook page.

I really can't state how much we like this band cannot wait to see them live again. There new single Plans is out now and you can buy it here  or here  and watch the video made with their fans here! You will not be disappointed!

SO we move on upwards on onwards and look forward to next weeks show!!

Fizzer!
