Ukuleles galore! Dulwich Ukulele Club at Brixton Offline

We had a fabulous night at the Brixton Prince Albert on Friday, with the fantastic Dulwich Ukulele Club playing a rip roaring set.

After the headliners pulled out with the gig looming up fast, it looked like we’d be looking at an empty stage on Friday, but we managed to hastily assemble a great bill just in time. A big thank you to all the acts!

First up was Matt M who employed a huge pair of wooden clogs to provide a stage-thumping percussive accompaniment.
These proved a major hit with the crowd!
Brixton’s got some awesome venues, and on any just about any given night you can find some great stuff going on.
Last night I checked out the excellent Lost Cavalry at the Brixton Windmill, and then strolled down the hill to check out a new band at the Prince Albert on Coldharbour Lane. It was an ace night!
Here’s some photos:

Friday was one of the best Offline nights I’ve ever put on with two fantastic bands and a very lively crowd.

Welsh psychedelic rockers Radio Luxembourg were really incredible – imagine a mix of ELO, Super Furries, Gorkis, Syd Barrett and punk and you might get the idea (although that does sound a bit rubbish on paper!).
Check out some of their tunes on their MySpace site, or – even better – go check them out live.

Also on the bill was the rabble-rousing, horn driven madcap ska band, Danny Fontaine and the Horns of Fury, who got the dance floor moshing wildly.

Knees up!
