Literally just in the door from Stendhal Festival of Art and what was a great weekend. The weather stayed mostly dry and a plethora of local bands impressed old fans and won over plenty of new ones. Our coverage will start appearing over the next few days but a massive pat on the back to the team at Stendhal and a thank you for having us up. Back to porridge though for myself and Team CB but there’s yet again more great gigs a little closer to home this week.

Gallery Circus – Menagerie, Belfast – Thursday 14th August 2014

Team RKT – Bar Sub, Belfast – Friday 8th – Friday 15th August 2014
