Never mind. It wasn't bad - the sun came out and there were a fair few people there. The Bodega gig was not bad - a great sound, but fewer people than I was imagining. There were some great other acts too - Alex Motormouf and his superb funky beatbox looping was a highlight for me

Well, here's a review of our Sounddhism gig - basically the reviewer didn't watch us :-D

"UJahm were upstairs at the same time and by stubbornly refusing to move from Natalie’s set, I regretted not getting a taste of the local quartet after hearing their praises from several people"

In fairness, I'm not surprised; we were on at the same time as rising star Natalie Duncan - as we finished I caught the very end of her set, and wow, what a voice!

Here's the next one - Medfest is a nice little afternoon at the Victoria Embankment area of Nottingham. Nice to bring the family for the afternoon, that type of thing. UJahm's lyrics about police harassment ("Narcotics"), sexual innuendo ("Lollipop") and weed ("Redder than Red") will go straight over the kids' heads.

Also notice that blues veteran Mick Rutherford is playing. This chap has been inducted into the blues hall of fame in the US, and has played with Jimi Hendrix among others, not to mention the impressive pedigree of his band.

This is a big charity event where the whole of the Hockley/central area of Nottingham is taken over for a Sunday for charity. Most shops, bars and clubs have acts on all day, and there are over 400 acts playing throughout the day! Just buy a wristband and wander around till you hear something you like!

UJahm play twice - first at 9pm at Cape Bar (Put on by Cultural Vibrations) [s]then at 11:20 at Bambuu (Put on by Brouhaha)[/s]

Update - Bambuu have just had a restriction on live music after 10, and we couldn't slot on at another time, so just the Cape Bar gig now

This Maze gig is on Friday. Lemme know if you want to come and I can put you on a cheap list :-)

The April gig at Spanky Van Dykes from the list above has been cancelled/postponed :-(
However, new March date added at a venue that we haven't played before, JT Soar. All looks wonderfully chaotic with a ska punk flavour, BYOB and pay what you like - can't wait!
