I’m thoroughly impressed by the diy-style music events that are going on at the Pharmacy Gallery down in Margate old-town.

For those of you after something rather different to Eurovision, then headlining tomorrow’s show (12th May) is Lords, who will be supported by a variety of other bands - Brain Dead, Lakes, The Pluto and local band Cubs. The show starts at 8pm and costs £4… and might I say - great flyer!

Whilst thrash metal isn’t quite my cup of tea (I’m an indie lad myself) this is exactly the kind of independent event that should be happening in Margate, and the organisers are onto a bloody good thing if they can keep events like this going.

I recall a comment on an earlier post which suggested that we needed to see arts events being organised from the bottom-up - I think we might be starting to see it; and with uncertainty still surrounding the future of the Lido, events like these are good news for music in Thanet.
