Space live at Docks Academy

Comments Off on Space live at Docks Academy

Liverpool cult favourites Space bring their dark-humoured, hook-laden classics to Docks Academy, Grimsby, on Friday 6 November!

Space are a band from Liverpool, England, who formed in 1992 initially as a trio of Tommy Scott (vocals, bass, guitar), Jamie Murphy (vocals, guitar) and Jamie Island (drums), who was later replaced by Andy Parle. Keyboard player Franny Griffiths joined the line-up a year later, and the band signed to Gut Records in 1995, eventually rising to prominence with hit singles such as “Female of the Species”, “Me and You Versus the World”, “Neighbourhood”, “Avenging Angels” and “The Ballad of Tom Jones”, the latter a duet with Cerys Matthews of Catatonia.

Space pursued an eclectic sound dubbed “queasy listening” by critics, embracing electronica and sampling in their work and drawing from genres as diverse as hip hop, techno, post-punk, ska, lounge music, easy listening and film scores, the result of the differing tastes between band members. The group were also noted for their deliberately tongue-in-cheek, dark humoured lyrics inspired by films, which frequently deal with topics such as serial killers, failed relationships, social outcasts, and mental illness. Whilst Space’s eclecticism and camp humour polarised listeners and critics, they have maintained a devoted cult following.

Space experienced several line up changes, with Scott being the only consistent member. Their first two albums, Spiders (1996) and Tin Planet (1998), achieved great success and went platinum in the UK, along with scoring eight UK Top 40 singles.

Gary Delaney: Gary On Laughing, Grimsby Auditorium

Gary Delaney’s last UK tour ran for two and a half years across 378 dates.

People laughed a lot and kept coming back. His videos have hundreds of millions of views. So now he’s doing it all again with a brand new show.

All new jokes and utterly splendid filth. Come along. It’ll be fun. Don’t bring the kids or people who like to get their knickers in a twist.

Do wear a TENA pad or dark trousers.

The Cleethorpes Swimblers – the Spooky Editition

Comments Off on The Cleethorpes Swimblers – the Spooky Editition

Something strange will be appearing on Cleethorpes beach… a collection of bobble-hatted figures muttering, “It’s lovely once you’re in.”

The ghosts have complained we’re making the place look odd.
Join the Cleethorpes Swimblers for their Spooky swims!
Your swimbling times:
🦇 Monday 26 October — 6am
🦇 Tuesday 27 October — 6am
🦇 Wednesday 28 October — 6.30am
🦇 Thursday 29 October —. 6.30am
🦇 Friday 30 October — 7am
🎃 Saturday 31 October —. 8am

📍 Usual spot, opposite the Memorial Steps. What3Words: ///defend.amount.discouraged
🔦 Lights and head torches will be needed for the early dips. Bring your tow float, warm layers and a hot drink afterwards ☕
If you spot a pale figure shaking beside the sea, don’t call an exorcist until you’ve offered them a biscuit 🍪
Halloween costumes are completely optional, but would add to the fun — even if it’s just a witch’s hat and your usual frightening behaviour 🎃👻😂
New faces welcome, whether you fancy a dip or just want to watch the local haunting from the comfort of your coat.
Our usual informal get-together: everyone dips at their own discretion and takes responsibility for themselves.
Come for the swimble. Stay for the faff. Watch out for ghosts 👀👻👻👻
