Colour and light

Once again the First Baptist Church played host to an evening of secular entertainment. This time it was New York's Akron/Family, playing a sensational set, and Toronto's Born Ruffians. Both bands had a long drive from Toronto (Thanksgiving weekend meant a lot of traffic).





As you can see I've overcome my reluctance to take photos in church, so you'll be viewing more in the days to come.

• Show reminder: Heaps of stuff to see, with Museum Pieces, Sadie Hell and Acres at Irene's Pub; Cadence Weapon and Tokyo Police Club at Zaphod's; the Songbird Music crowd take over Babylon with sets from The Golden Seals, The Flaps, Matt Ouimet and Manpower; The Hylozoists and The John Henrys play Barrymore's; Rare Women for Wild Birds - i.e. Casey Comeau, Amanda Rheaume, MacKenzie MacBridge and Ana Muira - play a benefit for the Wild Bird Care Centre at Cafe Dekcuf.
