My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Others with unhealthy obsessions with music, who would prefer a night of feel-good pop frippery to testosterone charged anthems. ............................................................ ............................................................ .......... VENUE: our night can be found at - Retreat@St Dominics, New Bridge St, Newcastle upon Tyne, (opp Tanners' Arms)"What better way to celebrate a gig well done than a fabulous set from Popklubb. Tonight's captive audience may not have been used to the sheer surpluses of joy that Swedish indiepop is able to generate, but faith be sure, handclaps were extracted from even the grouchiest wallflower by the midnight chime."
