OK, so now we know it’s a landscaping place. Looking to spruce up the country home? Something else? Who knows???

Definitely in Yeovil for some reason though.

10.02.07 - Gym Class Heroes in Yeovil

There’s been quite a few gigs from this week in February throughout the years, and I’ll be honest, the wheels are starting to fall off a bit. I was missing the +44 ticket yesterday (full story to follow) and now I’m without all the correct facts for today’s post. I’ll do my best for this and promise that my usual impeccable memory will resume by this weekend’s entries.

I mean, it’s a bloody mystery really. Why would a rural town like Yeovil in south Somerset have so many live music venues that it’s a struggle to remember which one this show took place in. The truth is, Yeovil had a thriving scene in the 2000’s. It attracted big names more consistently than Bournemouth and almost gave Southampton a run for it’s money. Perhaps the two best known venues were The Orange Box and The Ski Lodge, neither of which hosted this event (despite what the ticket says).

I THINK the place was called Dukes, but there’s little online to confirm this. It was the first and only time I went there, and I get the sense it was more often used for club nights than live music. This definitely had an influence on the gig. I can recall seeing GCH frontman Travis McCoy dancing to their label mates Panic! At The Disco as one of their hits from this era blared out between bands.

I watched the majority of the headline set, along with Ed and Greg, balancing on the edge of raised platform to the side of the stage. It was too small for the band and crew and 'front of house’ was pretty packed too.

The venue name I may well have guessed correctly, but there’s no chance of me remembering the support. All I’ve got to to go on is that one of their songs had them repeating “baking soda, baking soda, baking soda..” over and over.

The Dorset Ooser from Melbury Osmond, Dorset, UK. Photographed in Yeovil, Somerset, c. 1883-1891.

A bit of odd photographic history from the town where I was born. Although the scale is difficult to discern from the photo, the Ooser was a largish headress that sat on the wearer's shoulders. The eyes were completely opaque and it's possible that the wearer could see through the 'mouth', which was hinged so that it could open and close. It's actual purpose is unknown, and thus lots of quite silly/colourful (take your pick) ideas have been dreamt up to explain it. The owners tried to sell it, hence the photo, but it seems to have been lost - to decay or being sold by a third party - sometime in the early 1900s. It was made from wood, wool/hair and horn.

Advent #13: Phantasmagorical | Collaged Billboard | 2012 . This image is created by printing off all my work from the year 2011 to 2012 and built up via layering to recreate as a billboard. . Inspired by the billboards seen as a 7 to 10 year old in #Yeovil in the 1970s and early 80s when times were tough with high inflation, public service strikes, miners' strikes and Winter of Discontent in 1979. I remember seeing the billboard by the cinema whilst waiting to watch #starwars and being amazed by the various layers of images from different times coming through to form a new image made from many. . My obsession with layering and oddly juxtaposed imagery was born that day: the day a movie changed the face of cinema and birth the summer blockbuster. . #drawing #collage #painting #layering #history #billboard #billboards #pasting #erosion #entropy (at Taunton, Somerset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmHMU9aIOPG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
