Intellectually ambitious. Knows a bit about music & buttons. No corporate streaming, Zuckerberg et al. located in deepest darkest East Kent.
However you look at all the options, you need a pretty generous pay packet AFTER tax.

If you have to commute…Have you seen the peak time train fares from Ramsgate to get anywhere for work? London, only 1 hr 15/20 minutes away, costs £83.20 for a return EACH day. Afford that even with a reasonably paid job.

Indeed none of those MP3s. What I meant is, sometimes, the download on offer technically supersedes physical media such as CD by bi depth and frequency *decent streamer/hi-fi/headphones & ears required*

In short no. The doors opening at 18:00 was on the tickets and I thought something was up as SWANS don’t play for an hour and we wanted to see the support.
Universe ticketing sent a gig reminder the day before & I’m sure they could have provided times then to take the guesswork out of all of this.

I saw Swans supported by the splendid Jessica Moss at Brixton Electric on Tuesday. In short the doors opened at 18:00, the timings were advertised at the bar with a finishing time around 22:30 - plenty of time to get the train home with no anxiety that you might miss it or some of the show.

Ah. *wavy lines of nostalgia* Kings Club/Caravan Park Canvey, strangely close to the tip. Used to frequent the swimming pool circa ‘83
The ‘entertainment’ was “interesting” as my Mum used to say.
