We got some beautiful flowers and fancy bottles of bubbly from Warm Circuit Records
Here are photos from our final birthday event which took place at Vivid, much merriment was had by all and the 6pm start certainly left a few folks a wee bit tipsy by the end. All the acts were local inhabitants, all were superb and just goes to show that Birmingham should be very proud of the wealth of talent that exists on our very doorstep. Special mention to Brian Duffy of the Modified Toy Orchestra, who despite extreme back pain and a haze of very strong pain killers played an absolutely storming set. It was an exhausting month and we should all be grateful that we will be 10 but once – a massive word of thanks to so many people that were involved in making these celebrations so much fun.
Stinky Wizzleteat opened proceedings with a fair bit of skipping
Una Corda were on top form and had even grown comedy moustaches for the occasion
Health & Efficiency used all manner of instruments
With tremendous drumming
Modified Toy Orchestra were on fine form with their new members
Barbie was looking stunning in her new party outfit
drum n bass duo PCM had everyone dancing like maniacs
Thanks to all of you that braved our first night of snow
Capsule Grannies not getting any younger
10 years of shows charted for all to see - we've done a fair few gigs!
“And so the celebrations start. Capsule, Birmingham’s leading promoters are 10 years old, and from their humble beginnings at the start of the new millennium have now taken over Vivid, a warehouse space in Digbeth for a series of shows to commemorate.
Also hosting an exhibition featuring gig posters, live photographs and merchandise from bands who have played under the Capsule banner over the past decade, it firstly made me feel ancient – given that my first Capsule show was nine years ago – but most of all proud, knowing that I had played at some of these shows displayed and celebrated here tonight.” READ MORE
