Greg Griffin

KU, Stockton

Friday 12 May 2023 

Tickets: https://tinyurl.com/GuyGriffinKU

Greg Griffin comes to KU in Stockton in May as part of a rare UK tour in support of his latest solo album Automatic. The Proud Mary legend has played and recorded all over the world with some of the biggest names in the music industry, so this is something of a coup for the Stockton venue. Tickets are already selling fast, and this show is expected to sell out.

Singer-songwriter Greg first hooked up with fellow musician Paul Newsome in the late 90s and became the first band signed to Noel Gallagher's Sour Mash label with the Oasis man going on to produce their first album of unabashed blues rock, The Same Old Blues. Around the same time Greg started recording and touring extensively with artists including Neil Young, Paul Weller, Stereophonics, and The Black Crowes before moving to San Diego in 2013.

Greg’s most recent solo album, Automatic, released in October 2022, was recorded in Denver with longtime friends, producer Eric Ryan and Richard Stuverud of Pearl Jam and RNDM fame. Automatic is ten tracks of heartfelt rock and roll and ballads of lost love and friendship unsurprisingly drawing on classic rock but with a wry and honest folky feel.


Prince Regent Street’s KU is a mainstay of the town’s live music scene and has previously hosted indie-guitar legends such as Arctic Monkeys, The Enemy, We Are Scientists, Reverend and The Makers and The View as well as offering a vital platform for up-and-coming Tees Valley-based artists. Support on the night comes from singer-songwriter Tom Blackwell and local alt-folk hero Frazer Lambert.

 

Age restrictions: Ages 18+. Tickets are priced at £12.00 plus booking fee

 Advertisment Shambolics KU, Stockton Saturday 13 May 2023 Tickets: https://tinyurl.com/SHAMBOLICSku Stockton’s KU are once again bringing one of the UK’s most exciting new live acts to the region with a show from indie-pop four-piece Shambolics on May 13th. The Alan McGee endorsed band are signed to his Creation23 label and have recently released their latest EP, Take It Or Leave It, while the single of the same name blends Britpop influences with 80s grooves into something to both sing and dance along to. Having only formed in 2017, Shambolics’ debut single, Chasing A Disaster, went straight to number 2 in the UK Official Vinyl Chart and then just before lockdown the band played their biggest show to date, selling out St. Lukes in Glasgow. Then, taking advantage of the enforced break the band relocated to Glasgow and hooked up with producer Chris Marshall. Shambolics’ more recent work is grittier and more honest while maintaining the melodies and upbeat disposition they we

  A Man Called Adam - Legendary North-East Electronic Duo Announce New Album: ‘the Girl With A Hole In Her Heart’ Released Digitally: 26 May 2023 // Vinyl: 21 July via Other Records #ad Amazon Link: https://amzn.to/4230kBK   A MAN CALLED ADAM have announced a brand new album ‘The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart’.   An album about Teesside and the wild coastal and industrial landscapes where the band’s Sally Rodgers grew up, the album will be released digitally on 26 May (via Other Records). The announcement arrives as the duo also share its title-track today.  Their first new album since 2019’s ‘Farmarama’, ‘The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart’ is a Balearic record, though not one that’s inspired by those fabled Iberian sun-kissed beaches that stretch on forever and sunsets that stop you in your tracks. Rather, it’s a House record made for all night dancing in a decommissioned steelwork. It’s an ambient record that strolls a windswept coastline where lime-grass dunes rise and fall like slu

"It Started With A Cracked Screen" Do your research about where NOT to go to get your phone or computer fixed #consumer #tech #mobilephone #repairs

It's just a crack in the screen...... Not my usual kind of blog post. The smartphone has become part of everyday life. For a business like mine it had opened up new avenues to spread the word about my clients as a PR. I found some of these shut suddenly when my phone hurtled to the kitchen floor. Just a cracked screen. I worried the phone may cost a fortune to fix, but got similar quotes from about 3 people and so when one of them called back promising a 48 hr turnaraound, and 6 months warranty, I thought, I could trust the friendly voice of "John" at the other end of the line. The UPS driver arrived within 10 minutes and my phone was in a padded envelope off to Elite Phones And Computers in Manchester. This was a mistake. I hadn't checked the reviews online, something I always do, and warn other when I find the bad ones.  I sent the phone on Friday and on Monday checked on progress, using the on-site messaging service the company prefers to use instead of ema
