hooray, its 2006
Friends, Londoners and Countrymen,
Happy new year to you all
New Years Eve was a bit of a mental one at The Good Ship and there were a good 20 or so still hanging round as I left a good 4 hours after our official closing time of 4am. The rapscallions!
Right, for January we have the return of the general knowledge and pop quizzes, a new free to get it comedy night, loads of bands and DJs every Friday and Saturday. We also are looking to extend our hours to 2am during the week and 4am at the weekends. I just have to put some cash in a brown envelope and do a bit of nudge nudge wink wink and we'll be there.
Just one event to tell you about this week. AND BELIEVE ME IT WILL BE ACE BECAUSE MY FAVOURITE NEW BAND ARE PLAYING. Sorry to shout but I have heard 100s of bands since I stumbled across myspace in late summer 2005 and none have had the immediacy or the long lasting appeal of Awful Sparks. Listen to their tunes and I dare you to not have a smile on your face. They are a breath of the freshest of air and I'm delighted to say that they are headlining The Good Ship this Thursday. They cite Steve Malkmus, Talking Heads and Minutemen which is all very nice but to me they bring to mind The Rakes and Madness which works miles better than it sounds.
Also playing are sewage punksters The Rank Deluxe who play a riotous live set and our 3rd set of London punkateers Soundbite who promise to stick pins up your posterior. Ooh.

It is £4 to get in with a print out of this but if you are local and want to hear about the local guest list (cheaper obviously) get in touch and I'll tell all.
All the best.
