Bill is asking for trouble by joining a band – doesn’t he know it’s a young man’s game? What’s going to happen when he’s under a pile of groupies and his ticker gives out? Still, if you want to encourage him – or, in fact, if you’re a groupie – then you can find The Machine Gunners providing “sort of piano-led bittersweet indie with maybe a hint of country”1 at The Comedy (Piccadilly) on 3rd February and The Hope & Anchor (Islington) on 9th February.
- Alternatively “like Cradle of Flith but heavier” – hey, it’s your money you’ll be spending. [↩]
