The Craft-Off!

So, it's been a little while since the Craft Off but I finally managed to load the pics up onto the computer and now I will pop a few up here. It was a really fun/strange evening. I mean, first off it sold out in about an hour, which was random and completely unexpected! Then people were SO into the craft, which was really nice, but made you realise that what we do with Jumpers for Goalposts is more like playtime than craft! The performances were really good, with Poppy Seed starting, We Show Up On Radar next, the Tom Tomas Club performing as Craftwork and ending with the Red Shoe Diaries who played a cracking set surrounded by wool.

Donna and the girls from Spinsters Emporium (check it out online!) had done an amazing job decorating the place, as I hope you'll be able to tell from some of the photos.

Here's some pics:

The creative competition winner - the "Canonbert" - beautifully modelled by Nick

Victorious team "Say Cheese" with their canonbert


As a judge of the competition may I add a final note... the canonbert was incredible. It worked with the cheese theme, looked great and had party poppers which went off like the flash! Great work!

See you soon,

Bex

Well, that was brilliant!

(I had such a good time at the Fists gig I wanted EVERYONE to read about it!)

A great turn-out...

Nottingham luminaries were there - Swimming, Joey Chickenskin, Rob Yunioshi, Bones, the lovely ladies of Tether, Tom & Nick from Hello Thor, Dan Toporowski... so many brilliant minds we could've started a revolution!

A great set from Fists...

James parping his giant horn, Joe dressed as a greaser-cowpoke, Angi delighting us all with an immense analogue beast of a keyboard, Pete's brilliant new tune You Dudes Rock (thanks!) and Tez rocking out the world's smallest drum solo.

I loved it - Thanks everyone!

Fists @ Malt Cross Tomorrow!

Just a quick reminder that you can see Fists for free tomorrow at the Malt Cross, along with two other acts from around the region.

That' right, for free.

We should also let you know that we're working on something big for our 3rd birthday in March and as soon as we can confirm anything we'll put details up here. Fingers crossed it's all going to come off!

February Fun!

Hello!

How are you?

We're looking forward to getting rubbish old January out of the way, because when February rolls around there are lots of treats coming up!

First, we will be delighted to bring you Fists at the Malt Cross on Tues 5th Feb before they head out of town on a mini-tour.

FISTS
Last seen covering Ol' Dirty Bastard at a christmas party, anything goes with this eclectic and inspired bunch. Expect yodelling, Casio keyboards and brilliant, scuffed indie-pop.

Also playing are Matt Geary and Jay Lynsay

We're delighted to say that this will be entirely free (apart from booze and kebabs, which you still have to pay for), to help your wallets catch up after Christmas.

Then, not only will February be bringing the return of Jumpers for Goalposts on the 6th @ the Alley Cafe, but my lovely sister Katie's birthday is on the 7th! That's going to be a busy week...

Hope you're all enjoying tucking up all warm inside while the winds and rain howl outside.

Look forward to seeing you on the 5th!

Love Becky
