So, #StayAtHome till we’re all clear of Corona and we’ll see you all really soon xx
- Everyone’s favourite north country boy Tim Burgess from The Charlatans is leading the way by hosting a Listening Party playing his favourite LPs every evening. Join @Tim_Burgess on Twitter at 22:00 tonight to revisit The Cribs classic indie rock album ‘Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever’. You can find his complete calendar of upcoming evenings HERE. Make sure you use #TimsTwitterListeningParty to contribute your own memories, share pics and join in with the fun.
- Emotionally charged Minnesota band Low are streaming special shows every Friday at 21:00 on their Instagram. The weekly episodes are an intimate glimpse into how their anthems are written and played when they are hidden away on their home turf.
- Oasis guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs will also be joining Manchester moptop Tim Burgess this weekend to host 'Bonehead's Bank Holiday' Listening Party on Saturday 11/04 at 22:05. The pair will be playing ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ and revisiting the 90’s glory days when the Gallagher brothers and their motely crew ruled the world.
- London Symphony Orchestra continue to play two concerts a week, streamed so you can enjoy the majesty, the grandeur and the sheer power of classical music being played live. They have announced a programme of shows live streamed every Thursday and Sunday. Click HERE for more details.
- Superstar DJs The Chemical Brothers may go all out with the incredible lasers and stunning visuals when they appear at Glasto or headline their own show, but at 21:00 on Friday 24th of April they strip it all back for a track by track Listening Party of their seminal album ‘Dig Your Own Hole’. Hosted by Tim Burgess (of course), the pioneering producers will also be joined by a whole host of famous friends and influential collaborators including Beth Orton, Steve Dub and Robin Turner.
If you are looking for any other online gigs, be sure to have a good browse of the packed listings by Songkick plus the comprehensive calendar from Indie Is Not A Genre.
Plus, make sure you check out Pressure Transmission — the new weekly radio show hosted by indie/alternative club night Pressure Nottingham which can usually be found every Tuesday at Rescue Rooms till this pesky pandemic threw a spanner in the works! Until the lockdown is safely lifted, get on Mixlr or Twitch at 21:00 tonight and every Tues to enjoy huge anthems and classic rock n’ roll!!
