Ignite last week

Hello people, hope you have had a nice week. I've been pretty busy, but managed to squeeze in the odd show here and there, including one last Sunday.

There was some crazy punk all-dayer thing going on at the Mean Fiddler, so me and some mates headed down. Imagine the current London heat plus no air conditioning plus loads of sweaty rockers in leather. Yep, it was stinky. Anyways, got down there at about 8pm, and headliners Ignite had decided to come on an hour early because they didn't think it was right that they played after GBH. Fair enough. We just managed to run down the stairs, slip on the sweat and beer and rush to the middle as the band started their second song. They played a great set - a nice mixture of classics from albums like 'A Place Called Home' right up to new songs from 'Our Darkest Days'.. lots of air punching and hip wiggling, plus Zoli's politically motivated mid-set banter. They really are one of the musically tightest bands of that genre… and though Zoli's voice might be a bit of a Marmite, in a live environment, it's really strong. I had a bit of a shimmy, blew my voice yelling in Hungarian (I kind of had to make those bits up) and then went and spent my hard-earned pennies on a hoody that's far too warm to wear for at least six months. Ha ha!

If you fancy buying their latest album....

... you can do so here!
