FULL US TOUR LISTINGS

posted February 26th,2010 by Gareth

A little lacking in spin right now, as we just played the show of our lives last night and my whole body, inside and out, ACHES. But we, the full eight piece LC! (let’s just call it “LC!”) will be playing in these places, on these dates. (All details to be posted shortly. To confirm, [...]

Food Review: Derby 18/02/2010

Mark from Islet made a joke during their show, asking, as there was The Venue, does that mean that was “The Pub”, “The Shop”, etc.  I didn’t find “The Restaurant”, but there was a Chinese restaurant above The Venue so some of us went there. The menu was pretty widespread and cheap.  I fancied something [...]

When I was young we used to go to a place called Pizza Land for birthdays and other special occasions.  They had a pizza, which I would probably hate now, but I used to love then; Fish and Chip pizza.  It was probably the most stupid concept for a pizza since Heinz’s failed attempt at [...]

Food Review: Dundee 16/02/2010

When you are on tour, its always nice to eat in new places that you may never have heard of before, but sometimes its good to know what you’re getting.  After several failed attempts at finding food we happened across a Wetherspoons in Dundee called The Counting House.  It was pretty busy and didn’t have [...]

Food Review: Aberdeen 15/02/2010

posted February 17th,2010 by Robert

We have friends in the Aberdeen area and they had promised to take us to a cracking restaurant for lunch.  We went to Carmine’s and ended up sitting in, what felt like, the front room.  We seemed to take up the entire room and everyone else having lunch was on first name terms with the [...]

Coming from Somerset I seem to have a fondness for Cream Teas.  When I was 15 we went on holiday to Woolacombe in North Devon.  There I decided that when I got old/ rich etc. I would go round the country reviewing cream teas.  Mama Campesinos! pointed out that I didn’t like Tea so how [...]

Food Review: Liverpool 12/02/2010

So as many of you had suggested Egg we went to it last night.  Gareth and Kim had been to it earlier and had come back praising it.  There was a nice amount of choice.  I went for the Dahl and opted for half rice, half salad.  When it appeared it was a massive plate [...]

Food Review – Wrexham 11/02/2010

posted February 12th,2010 by Robert

Tonights catering was in Yales Café Bar attached to the Central Station.  I opted to go for the pasta, which comprised roasted Mediterranean vegetables in a spicy sauce and garlic bread. Some of the vegetables hadn’t really been roasted.  The pepper and tomato was still pretty much raw and despite it providing a nice contrasting [...]

Food Reviews: UK 2010 – Volume One

posted February 10th,2010 by Robert

So i’ve been expanding my vocabulary over the past few months.  I’ve been avidly reading Nigel Slater’s Food Column in the Sunday Observer to see what sexy and salivating words he uses.  For anyone who doesn’t know who he is, he is the greatest food writer ever. So if you want to suggest somewhere; not [...]

The Oscars fall between our UK and European Tour which is just perfect timing for me as it means I am available to attend! Mr Oscar give me an invite! The cinematographer from “All About Steve” must need a date?! (Actually him) You could nominate me in the “Best Use of Recently Reinvented Soap Opera [...]
