A nice vid from Junction 15 featuring extended bits of Badly Drawn Boy, Billy Bragg, lots of smiley people and some earnestly hippyish goings-on at last year’s Moseley Folk Festival.

After a great year, raising over £9,000, OxjamBrum are ending 2010 on a high by teaming up with Moseley Folk Festival to present a Chrsitmas Ceilidh on 17 December.
The evening will take place at Moseley All Services Club, from 7:30 – 11:30pm, with entertainment provided by Cut The Mustard, who’ll be performing some Ceilidh classics.
Tickets are £4 which can be bought online or on the door. All proceeds of course going to Oxfam.
After headlining the second stage at Moseley Folk Festival back in September, Goodnight Lenin are back in their hometown once again, for this special gig in St. Pauls Church on 4 December.
With support from Boat to Row, what better way to warm up a chilly night than with a nice bit of folky music.
Doors open at 7.30pm, tickets are £5 in advance online / £6 on the door.
The Metro’s West Midlands Life blog (fresh from giving Artsfest a rather unnecessary shoeing) have reminded me of the Outer Sight film nights at The Edge that I mentioned a while back and completely forgot to follow up on.
The next one is apparently on Saturday and:
the very vague theme is ‘French Fancies & Freaky Kids Flicks’. Expect weird film from psychedelic animator Vince Collins and even weirder music. Entry is £2.50 with invite or £3.50 without; for more information, text OUTERSIGHT to 07887 956297, or e-mail outersight@live.com to join the mailing list
So if you’re not listening politely to another quite pleasant acoustic act at Moseley Folk Festival then perhaps pop down to this. Speaking of the Mofo Festival (as no-one is calling it, thankfully) it kicks off today and I hear that kids’ tickets have gone. When I bought a ticket the other day (pay in cash at Polar Bear and avoid a hefty booking fee from some other outlets) they were going quick – apparently it looks like Saturday might sell out but there should be tickets on the door if you get down in time.
Mark at Surely has posted up the new promo for The Destroyers – the riotous, Birmingham-based, 15 piece genre-botherers – on the Surely blog:
Directed by John Humphreys and shot by Prime Chris in the late hours of a friday night in May, the merry band bring the dawn in atop a multi story with city views.
And here it is:
The Destroyers will be playing the Moseley Folk Festival at the end of August, which I really must grab a ticket for.
