Let's face it - it's been a while, so it felt particularly good to be back scouring gig listings and buying some tickets the other night. After what will be more than a year and a half without live music, who better to blow the cobwebs away than a trio of the noisiest mobs around - Hey Colossus and Gnod returning to the revamped Moon and Part Chimp back at Clwb, the venue they nearly destroyed in April 2017?
All being well, I'll also be renewing acquaintances with Working Men's Club (the very last act I saw before lockdown, if you discount a covers band in a bar on Nashville's Printers Alley), who've graduated from Clwb to the Globe following the release of their stupendously good debut album.
Before all that, though, there's the not-so-small matter of Mclusky and Stewart Lee on the same bill - yes, really. OK, so it's streamed from the Exchange in Bristol rather than in the flesh - but the line-up assembled by IDLES' Adam Devonshire for the show, which takes place this Sunday evening from 6pm, also features TV Priest, Willie J Healey and comedian Seann Walsh and it's all in a very good cause, with pay-what-you-want tickets raising funds for the Gig Buddies charity. See you there (sort of)?
