(In case any concerts have changed dates/ changed venues/ been cancelled or I've made a typo, you'd be wise to check out the venue websites before heading out the door)

There are lots of bands in town in the lead up to The End of the Road festival in Dorset this weekend. It's an especially good week if you like Bella Union and don't like camping- the website The Line of Best Fit and Bella Union have teamed up to put on a week of shows at Bush Hall, for more details read here.

btw the horse in the photo is called Jack, he followed me around a field in the rain yesterday all in the name of polo mints.

Have a good week,
