This is a rough draft for the back cover blurb for the Going Deaf For A Fortnight zine.
For two weeks in November 2005 Pete Ashton set himself a challenge – to go to a randomly selected live music event at one of Birmingham’s small venues every night and then write about it in depth on his weblog.
The subsequent reviews give a snapshot of the live music scene in Brum, from touring international bands to unsigned local talent, all experienced by a paying punter answerable to no one but his own sanity.
Thirty six bands in eight venues over fourteen nights.
I did say “rough”
It reads like the trailer to Supersize Me. Will you become a famous gig-overdoser in a Morgann Spylockke (sp?) style?
Back covers blurbs are impossibly difficult to write yourself. I think you should just have a small photo of a hard close-up of a skiff lying in a puddle of beer.
