From Mon 1st June, Ride Club is relocating to the old Hadabar, next door to the current Ride Café on Tavistock Place – a mere 200m down the road!

Tickets cost £25 and each attendee receives a £30 voucher for a photoshoot at Smile Photo Studios. (Event open to age 16+ only) smilephotostudios.co.uk

You’ve gone from writing songs in your bedroom when you were 14 to supporting Reverend and the Makers on their current tour. How did you get into music?

I started during school, but school was a bit shit and I didn’t really like it, although I had a really cool piano teacher who taught me some blues stuff. But piano wasn’t cool at secondary school, and guitar was, so I got an acoustic guitar and started playing that.

Talking of instruments, you play every instrument on your recorded songs, do you find it hard to take a back seat in a live gig and let someone else play all the parts?!

Yeah, I’m picky about bass lines and stuff; I’m like, “You don’t play it like that!” But my guitarist is my mate Aidan and my drummer is my little brother. They can get annoyed at me, and I can call them a c**t, but with the other musicians I have to be more polite!

Do you still play the stuff you wrote when you were 14, or is it a bit cringy and dated now?

It feels a bit dated to me because I’ve know it for years, but some of that stuff’s only just come out, which is great, but it would’ve been better two years ago. I still have to play the Melanie stuff (Mel’s Song) and that’s all good.

Do you prefer more poppy songs like Mel’s Song or the more experimental kind of things like He Only Goes Out On Tuesdays?

I value them both as much as each other. But – how do I say this without sounding like a prick – it annoys me how pop songs, which I enjoy writing, are more accessible to the public. People try to push that as a description of what I do.

“Urgh, yeah but that’s Lily Allen! Did you see her on Jools Holland? She just had no balls!”

So what does Mel think of the song? And particularly the lyrics (“I’ll wash my balls if you say that you’ll grab them…”!)

I don’t know, she’s really hard to crack that Melanie! But she did have it as her MySpace profile song.

So are you a bit more confident nowadays, more open to try out new things?

Yeah, definitely. I still do some of the old crap, but I’ve started playing the mandolin, and the ukulele and things like that. Sometimes people don’t like that, but fuck ‘em!

So, the musical easy option you mean?

Yeah totally. I performed ‘He Only Goes Out On Tuesdays’ for Radio Devon, and I thought it went really well, but they didn’t play it – just because of the subject matter.

Mind you, Lily Allen manages to get away with a pretty rude subject in her song ‘Not Fair’…

Urgh, yeah but that’s Lily Allen! Did you see her on Jools Holland? It was the best episode with all these bands doing, like, blues stuff and all these amazing musicians that were playing so soulfully and then Lily Allen gets up and she just had no balls!

When someone takes up surfing when they’re just three years old, you’d expect them to be pretty darn good by the time they’re 24. Ben Skinner is pretty darn good. He grew up in Jersey with his parents and three sisters and was already an accomplished surfer when the family moved to Cornwall when he was 11. After getting frustrated with struggling in small conditions on his shortboard, he entered longboard comps and started winning pretty much everything going.

Ben has been on the British team since he was just 13 years old, and to date has picked up a silver medal at the World Surfing Games (the Olympics of surfing), sixteen British titles, in 2007 he was the European Pro Longboard Champ, is a former English Champion, and is also currently the only Brit on the ASP World Longboard Tour (and is therefore one of the worlds top 32 longboarders who travel the globe competing in contests held from California to Japan), currently ranked in 17th place. He’s an all round waterman with a real passion for the ocean and for surfing. His surfboard company, Skindog, has been up and running for a year and a half now, and he has plans for the Skindog Surf School to open at Watergate Bay this summer. 247 caught up with him to talk Kernow, surf and… snooker!

What are you most proud of in your surfing career?

This year, I’ve had one of the best runs ever, as far as consistency goes. I just qualified for the world longboard tour by winning an event in Spain. I was already qualified, but then they changed things, and you could only qualify by coming first or second in your region… So there was a lot of pressure, and I was really proud of myself for getting on the tour. My goal is to be world champ, and if you’re not on the tour then you can’t win. Also, surfing for Britasin and getting second in the world surfing games in California was a massive highlight… Winning the European Professional Longboard Tour in 2007 was an amazing moment for me. I had my girlfriend there and she was three months pregnant, and that was probably one of my proudest moments for sure.

Lawton. They’re all doing really well. It’s a pleasure to be able to help them, and I’m stoked to have them on board.

What about Skindog’s eco stance?

We definitely are one of the most eco friendly factories, we keep things very clean and produce as little waste as possible.

But we also use bio foam and bio resin surfboards, working very closely with eco focused Cornish company Homeblown.

What Homeblown do is really good, and again, it’s true Cornwall, and I love being part of it. They’re working to bring in truly eco friendly surfboards. I’m also getting a board model made in a system called Hydraflex, which is 100% recyclable.

We definitely are aware of being eco friendly. Surfers Against Sewage has been a big part of my life too. I think it’s a massive part of our world – being able to go surfing and not be ill.

Who do you look up to in surfing?

You’re also an ambassador for The BLUE® Climate and Bonga Perkins has been a major hero of mine for a long Oceans Project, which inspires people to reduce their time, and a favourite surfer. I’ve got to know him through impact on the world’s climate and oceans. Why did you years of competing on international tours, and I’m a good agree to become an ambassadors? friend of his now.

One in Japan and one in the Maldives. It’s a pretty big deal, and I really want to capitalise on what I’ve chosen to do with my life. last year Bonga Perkins won. I’m looking to beat him this year! When I was at school all I wanted to do was surf and compete.

I’ve travelled on my own since I was 11, and I had to look after myself, and I think I learnt a lot. I want to pass all my knowledge What do you do outside of competing? on to people in the best way possible, in whatever way I can.

We set up Skindog Surfboards about a year and a half ago. We’ve got a close little community, and we work really What would you be doing if you didn’t surf? hard to make people good boards. We’re doing a lot with a I’d like to think I could have been a snooker player… although Portuguese shaper called Lifi who’s one of the best shapers I’m not good enough! Snooker players are so focused, I really in the world. We run out of Ocean Magic factory in St Columb love watching them. It takes a lot of control to be able to deal Major, and we couldn’t be in a better environment and have with the pressure. A lot of succeeding at sport is mental, I think better staff, we’re really lucky to be in the position we’re in. its something like 70% mental, 30% physical… if you’ve got the talent and the ability, the rest is definitely in your head…

“247 Magazine has been around for nine years now… and it all began back in 2000, when everyone was worried

about the Millennium bug. Enterprising promoters were putting on the mother of all events to celebrate the millennium, with tickets prices in excess of £100 to match (for one night out clubbing!) and I was out partying and enjoying the good life – well, if I could find out what was going on that is. With an obvious drought of credible “what’s on” info, I thought I could do better than the lame efforts in circulation and thus, twenty4-seven (as it was know back then) was born. After roping in a freelance designer – Matt Sanwell, we both set out to create our own little cool music and lifestyle mag for the South West – full of stuff we were into like live music, street art, clubbing, surfing and ignoring the stuff we weren’t. Now, nine years on, Matt has returned to the freelance design world, the mag has changed owners, reshaped it’s name to 247 Magazine and spread it’s wings to cover more of the UK. I’ve learnt loads along the way, met and worked with some great people and uncovered some amazing talent. It’s hard to believe we have hit 100 issues, it’s still a labour of love, but we still love it, it’s a way of life – big up to everyone for their support so far, without you, we are nothing… Nigel Muntz, Co-founder

If you like clubnights where the music is bum wobblingly good, then it’s about time you headed to a Hong Kong Ping Pong fuelled dancefloor, sharpish. The HKPP guys have been bouncing around behind the decks for over a year now, and from their home in Falmouth are taking the HKPP sound to the masses this summer, with a new monthly residency at the Sandsifter in Godrevy, and nights at clubs all over Kernow (and beyond) popping up all over their schedule. HKPP consists of Jack Nash (aka Morphosis – won this year’s Littlesouth DJ Of The Year), Dave Raybould (aka Fat Harry/pie eating funk seeker) and James Evans (aka Spinforth, allegedly owns nearly every piece of golden age hip hop vinyl). Often joined by a live percussionist, the HKPP sound is funky-bouncy-booty-shaky. It’s about time we met them properly, don’t you think?! Dave Raybould chats to 247 Magazine…

Our aim is to always make the ladies dance. There’s no dress code other than we prefer people to be dressed. The typical HKPP dance move is the drunken hands in the air Viking!

Do you ever have guest DJs? We love bringing guests down. We’ve had the legend that is Nick Thayer and fellow NSB’r DJ Chamber. We also like to put on bands when we can, we’ve put on Norwich hip hop monsters Def Tex and Backbeat Sound System (an amazing Cornish nine piece reggae/dub band!) Aldo Vanucci is booked in for July. We’re looking to get A-Skillz booked for September at the Sandsifter. J-Star or Nice Up! would be a real winner – we might be lucky enough to get them down over the summer.

There was a bored looking lady standing on the central stage double bouncing ping pong balls into a half pint glass six feet away. She must have “fired” thirty ping pong balls and never missed the glass. I saw the same thing in Hong Kong a few years later so that’s where HKPP came from.

How would you describe a typical HKPP night?

We tend to pull out all the stops on our residencies, including booking a live percussionist. He is an animal! Hatton at Audio Source takes care of all our PA and lighting needs.

The kind of music we play is hard to define as we play so many genres. Technically its funky breakbeat but we’ll play any music that we love, makes us smile, and suits the crowd.

We’ll also be working on the next mixtape. These are proving to be really popular and can be downloaded for free via the HKPP Facebook group. The summer’s most serious business is working on our own tunes though. We’ve been having a lot of fun making bouncy bootlegs and tuba based re-edits as Chop Shop 45 (our production project) purely to play at HKPP nights but the response has inspired us to pull our fingers out and start producing our own music.

DEMOS DEMO OF THE MONTH Very strange lot, THE MUTANT BEATNIKS. On their album, ‘Blazen’, the Bath/Cardiff ensemble indulge in all kinds of eerie electronica detritus but choose not to put any rhythmic pulse behind it; which lends the likes of ‘Rapture’ and ‘Miasma’ a purely cinematic and sinister experience. If you can listen to old B-movie soundtracks and Throbbing Gristle records without feeling like your soul’s being turned inside out, then these are the boys (I assume it’s the work of males due to the inherent detachment) for you. I’m just glad I’m listening to it with my cat next to me for comfort. Shaun Robert, F4, 135 Newbridge Road, Bath, BA1 3HE

Coming from the venerable Pop Noise ministable, Exeter’s A FINE DAY FOR SAILING – ostensibly, Matthew Stead and friends – are so endearingly lo-fi that you quietly ignore the ridiculously loose musicianship on their double A-side single ‘Me And The Girl’ / ‘Village Idiot’ and concentrate instead on the Sarah Records-meets-Magnetic Fields indie wobble that they benignly craft. Third song, ‘Is He The One That You Want’ lovingly recreates Biff Bang Pow’s psyche-pop harmonica’n’harmonies with a tear in its eye and a sense of nostalgia that’s hard to resist. myspace.com/ afinedayforsailing Bristol’s PSYCHO BABY are so painfully stereotypical that it would probably be better to see them as a parody and take it from there. The Psycho Baby in question is SallyAnne Beighton: a woman with a great voice, granted, but that whole cock-thirsty, I-rock-Ido, man-possessive persona wears a bit thin after five songs with titles like ‘Woman Get Ya Hands Off’, ‘I Want Action’ and ‘Born To Be Bad’. Meanwhile the boys in the band supply the gonad power and amusing gang vocals but ditch originality in favour of familiarity; which probably works very well in real ale pubs and local charity rockfests. psychobabyrocks.com She used to be in scuzz-rock also-rans, Rub Ultra, did Charlie Beddoes. Now she’s fronting the Bristol-based ROCK IN YOUR POCKET and, on their ‘Feel The Pulse’ EP, delving into a postindustrial scrap-yard of greasy distortion and moody, girlish

whimpering that wants to unnerve you like Nine Inch Nails do but can’t quite work up the necessary psychosis. ‘Stupid O’Clock’ sounds like Transvision Vamp’s naughtier sister, but the new wave chug of the title track sounds more authentic, as if it was recorded at the tail end of 1979 when punk was morphing into the new orthodoxy. myspace. com/rockinyourpocket ‘Cornwall Introducing’ is a compilation of VARIOUS ARTISTS that was compiled by Truro music promoters, Duelling Kazoos, to distribute at the local band stage during Cornwall’s Boardmasters festival last year.

Ranging from the soaring psyche-rock of Suite Noir and the punkabilly lilt of The Eyelids, to the rabid noisecore of Crocus and the street reggae suss of Backbeat Sound System, it serves as a great showcase for the county’s non-mainstream movers and shakers. One assumes that the ‘Kazoo collective will be doing the same again at this year’s fest? Respect. myspace.com/duelingkazoos

Meanwhile, over on Murdoch-Space…

Exeter-based politico-crusties, DEAD SUBVERTS, are a prime example of DIY discipline. UK, Euro and Asian tours; EPs out all over the place; working with indie labels throughout the world including their own imprint, Pumpkin Records… As for the music itself, occupying the middle ground between The Subhumans and Rudimentary Peni is no bad place to be. myspace.com/ deadsubverts Glastonbury quartet, DERAY, are one of those poor, deluded bands who believe that they’re onto something when it’s clear they’re just on something. Quite how anyone can get past vocalist, Simon Philips’ desperately flat croon without laughing is a mystery and yet they’ve amassed over 3000 ‘friends’ on Myspace. What were you all thinking? myspace.com/deraymusic The moniker, BASIL AND THE BISCUIT TINS, may conjure images of a band of funky fuckwads in bad sandals but you couldn’t be further from the truth. The Plymouth duo deal in ethereal folk harmonies and sweetly plucked acoustic guitars that sounds like Kings Of Convenience fed through Simon & Garfunkel’s melancholy. Very good it is, too. myspace.com/ basilandthebiscuittins New ‘80s-loving, indie-electro upstarts, CINNAMON ANTICS, have some way to go before their arch-cool, Dresden Dolls-esque poseur prowess can stand with the major players, but the female-fronted, Devon/London duo do proffer a great line in digital noir (‘Blow’), Blondie-like nonchalance (‘Sodastream’) and acoustic reflection (‘Misty Heavens Wheel’). myspace.com/cinnamonantics

It is an innovative, original and thrilling fusion of dance and narrative all to take an edgy look at morality. In an unnamed modern urban setting, the rats in the original poem become youths, in black hoodies, who are branded ‘ASBOs’, and clown governors rule the city. Fresh from a critically acclaimed run at London’s Barbican, Pied Piper is a satirical performance exploring the recurring tabloid headlines: “Who will rid our streets of this vermin?”

Set in the stunning Gonamena Valley and the mining landscape of the Caradon Hill area, the story centres around a family as they face up to the challenge of rapid transformation during the mining boom and bust of the late 1800s. Written by renowned local writer, Simon Parker, the play is based on real events and evokes the emotional turmoil and extremes of opinion amongst the frontier-like existence of the many thousands of people that descended on the valley at the height of the copper ore mining period. A great showcase of local talent.

In his smart suit and electrified floppy hair-do this sublime stand-up might resemble a city whizz-kid but he is the most bankable banter merchant on the block.

Generating most of his material from chatting to the audience Michael McIntyre’s comedy is always quick witted, contemporary and side splitting.

THE ADVENTURES OF WOUND MAN AND SHIRLEY Drum Theatre, Royal Parade, 01752 267222, theatreroyal.com, 7.45pm, £12

By Chris Goode. Shirley is a teenage boy.

He’s a dreamer, a bit of a loner, and a fan of desperately uncool pop music. He’s also hopelessly in love with a classmate at school who barely knows he exists. One day, a mysterious figure moves into his ordinary surburban street. Wound Man is an unconventional superhero, who happens to have a vacancy for a teenage side-kick...

The Adventures of Wound Man and Shirley tells the story of two unlikely friends and the adventures they share. The show combines intimate storytelling, original animation and music into a bedtime-tale, comic-book, super-hero story about growing up and getting braver.

Each audience member is given a set of headphones through which he or she hears the voices of three live performers who are

narrating a fictional walk through a fictional city. Obscured behind a cinematic screen, the performers are alternately seen as shadows, silhouettes or in stark clarity, and they create a fully immersive sound environment to accompany their narration by producing homemade sound effects. Whisper places the performance in the head of each audience member and obscures the line between imagination, memory and reality.

The Age Of Stupid (12A)

Arts Centre, 01752 206114, plymouthartscentre.org Dir. Franny Armstrong, starring Peter Postlethwaite UK/2009/99 mins.

This creative futurist documentary imagines a devastated world of 2055, wasted after years of human exploitation and neglect. Combining animated and dramatic elements with “historical” footage from 2007, The Age of Stupid stars Pete Postlethwaite as an archivist sifting through the remains of human civilization to create a digital broadcast for other future societies about why humanity failed to save itself from global warming. This is an impassioned but nuanced approach to climate change as we are confronted us with the already tangible effects of climate change and the brutal reality of where today’s inaction might lead..

Angels & Demons (TBC) 01803 847070, dartington.org Dir: Ron Howard, starring Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor and Stellan Skarsgård 2009/US/140 mins The team behind the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code returns for this highly anticipated follow up. When Harvard religious expert Robert Langdon (Hanks) discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organisation’s most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. With beautiful Italian scientist Vittoria Vetra in tow we are taken on an actionpacked hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and eventually the most secretive vault on earth. One to watch.

Centre, Great Torrington, 01805 624624, plough-arts.org Dir: Laurent Cantet Starring: François Bégaudeau 2008/France/130 mins Based on the best-selling novel ‘Between the Walls’ by former teacher Francois Begaudeau, this real life portrayal reveals the tensions and issues within a multi-cultural French classroom. The film centers around Begaudeau’s extravagant and confrontational teaching methods and how they are challenged by his pupils in a tough Paris school. Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes 2008.

remaining men of a rural Norfolk town send two hapless young lads (Corden and Horne) out onto the moors as a sacrifice. Expect cheap thrills and an even cheaper budget from the newest golden boys of British comedy.

Dir. Tom Hooper, starring Michael Sheen, Colm Meaney, Jim Broadbent, Timothy Spall.

UK/2009/97 mins.

Peter Morgan’s (Frost/Nixon) brilliant adaptation of David Pace’s novel tells the confrontational and darkly humourous story of Brian Clough’s doomed 44-day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football in the 1970’s, Leeds United.

Previously managed by his bitter rival, Don Revie, and on the back of their most successful period ever, Leeds had an aggressive and cynical style of football. This was anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Clough, who had success building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor (Spall). A must watch for anyone who loves footy.

Totnes, 01803 847070, dartington.org Dir: J.J Abrams, starring Chris Pine, Simon Pegg and Zachary Quinto. 2009/US/126 mins Star Trek fans rejoice as the man behind Lost and Cloverfield takes on science fiction’s most precious commodity. This is a chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members during their time at Starfleet Academy.

The cast features hot Brit-talent Simon Pegg as Scotty and fresh from his turn as Sylar in Heroes, plays Spock.

The effects are out of this world, and this reinvention of the Star Trek franchise boldly goes where no man or Trekker has gone before.

In a town of spin-doctors and wealthy politicians, the journalist will find that when billions are at stake, no-one’s integrity, love or life is ever safe.

Encapsulating stuff from the director of The Last King of Scotland with a terrific cast including Helen Mirren in another scene stealing role.

TERMINATOR SALVATION (TBC)

Dir: McG, starring Christian Bale, Sam Worthington and Linda Hamilton. 2008/US/TBC Not content with reinventing the Batman franchise, Christian Bale takes on the Terminator mantle in this sequel. The film is set in the future where mankind is at war with a race of cybernetic killer machines and John Connor is leading the human resistance. Despite some much documented troubles on set the end product looks befitting of director James Cameron’s early efforts. Box office records could be terminated.

CLUB Waveriders (PG)

2 – 4 Jun: Plymouth

TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN (TBC)

Dir: Michael Bay, starring Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and John Turturro As if the return of those metallic killers in Terminator Salvation wasn’t enough to contend with, the human race has also got robots in disguise to fight off in this sequel to the box office smash. After returning to their home planet, the defeated robot Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons (bad guys), and has decided to return to Earth with force.

The Autobots (that’s the good guys) then find out that Megatron’s (the ultimate bad guy) dead body has been stolen from the US Military by the Decepticons and is brought back to life. Then the fun really begins, should be as spectacular as the original and then some.

Arts Centre, 01752 206 114, plymouthartscentre.org Dir. Joel Conroy Ireland/2008/80 mins This raw, heartfelt love-letter claims Ireland as the unlikely spiritual motherland of surfing. “Cold paradise” is what a visibly chilly Kelly Slater wryly calls it. In 2007, a colossal storm churned up the biggest swell ever to hit Ireland. The footage of the tiny figures riding these ferocious 50ft monster waves goes past awe-inspiring into something almost indefinable. Conroy’s documentary starts gripping hard when it reveals the remarkable life of the original soul-surfer, George Freeth.

When defunct punk bands from yesteryear make a comeback, it’s invariably to make a cynical cash-in. So it came as a relief that original Cali surf-punks, AGENT ORANGE, were firing on all cylinders (White Rabbit, Plymouth, 16 Apr). Led by original member, Mike Palm, the band’s blend of Dick Dale twang and Dead Kennedys thrash still retained the kind of edge that most resurrected punkers lose during the fallow years. But it was nothing compared to the vitality of New York’s BRIDGE AND TUNNEL: an incredible band who may holler and crunch like any four driven individuals but their Braid-like intensity, gender balance and infectiously unusual dynamics made for one of the best punk rock shows of the year (Cavern, Exeter, 19 Apr).

Canada’s PROPAGANDHI are known for stitching their community activism onto their lapels, so it was disheartening to witness them spend the whole night cocooned in their dressing room (Concorde 2, Brighton, 20 Apr). Maybe they’re shy. Judgmental assumptions aside, the hardcore legends could do no wrong once they were kicking out the righteous jams, interjecting political soundbites where necessary and berating security for their heavy-handedness.

Since Howards Alias hung up their boots, MATTHEW REYNOLDS has been busy penning lovely folk songs stuffed with emotional verisimilitude that wins converts by the gig-load (Skiving Scholar, Plymouth, 23 Apr).

Unlike the glut of solo acoustic warblers out there, Matt can really sing. Not as in ‘this will do to satisfy Chuck Ragan fans’, but as in ‘why isn’t he doing double-headliner tours with Get Cape?’ Brilliant.

A benefit show to raise funds for South Brent travellers’ anti-eviction campaign saw Holland’s POWER IS POISON proffer a grubby, rehashed version of a thousand anarcho-punk bands you’ve heard since 1982, while Bristol’s JESUS BRUISER were an exercise in impenetrable goodintentions (Phoenix, Plymouth, 27 Apr). Unfortunately, I missed the other bands due to trying to juggle three gigs in one night. Never a wise idea.

These days, CHUMBAWAMBA’s much-berated, chart-bound tubthumping has been put aside in favour of pursuing their love of protest folk and celebrating the resilience of the working classes (Guildhall, Plymouth, 4 May).

Moving ‘a cappella’ harmonies and accordion-accompanied strumalongs combined to reveal an anarchist heart that beats as regular as it ever did, Top Ten hits aside. A few minutes walk away and Ontario’s CREEPSHOW were kicking up a passable punk’n’roll storm although their Tiger Army-meetsHorrorpops shtick seemed a little pedestrian (White Rabbit, Plymouth).

Shamefully, the unreconstructed man in me felt compelled to watch because frontwoman, Sarah Sin, is so goddamn sexy. My bad?

I loved Jesse Michaels post-Op Ivy band, Common Rider, so I expected CLASSICS OF LOVE to have the same kind of sparkle (White Rabbit, Plymouth, 8 May). Alas, expectations were doused by workaday, unmemorable pop-punk vignettes that did little to justify Jesse’s standing in the modern punk frat. Similarly, Asian Man Records honcho, MIKE PARK, seemed to be going through the motions with a bunch of acoustic songs imbued with messages of unity and activism that, ironically, made me want to do less.

Down on the south coast, the quaint harbour café known as Miss Peapods was gleefully ruining the ambience with some good punk rock noise (Penryn, 9 May). Lulling us into a false sense of decibel security, Exeter’s SOME SORT OF THREAT, aka Rory Matthews, humbly delivered his excellent little folk songs without fanfare or fakery. And any 15 year-old who refers to the cops as ‘scum’ without making it sound like macho posturing is a hero in my book. Local punks, DOWNTOWN RIOTS, had their guitars set way too low but their raging, fem-fronted melodic hardcore still shone through, with a clear nod to the likes of NoComply. I always mention BANGERS so I’m going to keep it short by leaving out the vowels… Thy wr mzng, nd th nw sng hd ll th mkngs f clssc. Exeter’s THE CUT UPS were awesome. Buzzing off the energy of new album, it felt like we were witnessing a veteran band in the throes of greatness, such was the quality of their anthemic tuneage and frontman, Jon Curtis’ warmlyreceived banter. Then Florida’s VIRGINS plugged in and, holy fuck, were they loud. Enough, even, to trouble my iron-gilded lug-holes. Good gruff, old-school punk songs, though, and that’s what matters.

Rounding off the Barbican Jazz & Blues Festival in fine form (Plymouth, 10 May), ten-piece swing band, KINGSIZE 5, quickly set out their stall with a feisty, brassy strut lifted from the ‘30s to the ‘50s (accompanied by the local swing group turning on the Charleston charm). Whether their cute declaration that ‘all men are fucking leeches’ reached the lessdiscerning ears of the grannies in attendance is a moot point but no-one seemed to mind. See-ya bye.
