Definitely recommend The New Eves.

The amount of free gigs increases every year. It's incredible. Feels like it might be more than the official event now?

Anyone have any free gig recommendations for anything a bit different?

Lots of good free indie pop over 3 days here plus cheap booze.

The Orchestra (for now) are playing the Alt Escape. That will be worth a listen for something different.

Westside Cowboy were absolutely magnificent at the Hope and Ruin last night. I must avoid the temptation to follow them around the rest of the festival rather than seeing other new bands….

Tonight it’s like a battle of the bands with them playing straight before Man/Woman/Chainsaw at the Charles St. Tap. For me the best 2 new bands at the moment (M/W/C are also great live). Just a shame the venue sucks……

Excellent first day Traams, Knives and Bones Ate Arfa all superb, Shooting Daggers were ok but they followed Knives who were just superb.

Looking forward to today, no idea what my highlight will be today. Horatio's and Charles Street Tap seem strong late on so hopefully I can get into one or the other late on.

We saw Holiday Ghosts and Traams at Patterns, Goodbye and SLAG at Jubilee Square last night.

Traams were brilliant - an absolute sensory overload with driving rhythms. SLAG also excellent.

Unfortunately working today, so starting with Joshua Idehen at Komedia at 7.15.
