The lovely people at First Fold records have started a monthly eclectic club night of live music, DJs and visuals in Birmingham. The next BOYD takes place tomorrow, Thursday 1st March at Bull’s Head in Moseley. It’ll be a particular good one (I’m sure they’ll agree) as Capsule’s Lisa will be your DJ for the night. Any requests for Slayer gratefully received.
Live music on the night:
The Resource Centre
Boss Turbo Doesn’t Afraid Of Anything
The Harry Dawes Trio
and visuals come from Hellocatfood and Leon Trimble.
