The Gig List 26 April - 2 May: Anthony Chalmers lines up the week's best London gigs
Alright folks!
Sorry we have been away for a week or two, combination of silliness that resulted in no blog up, but here's the new one!
Haven't been doing nothing though - I have been recording podcasts with my friend Gareth from ‘Bearded Magazine’. Check it out!

Fiona Halliday goes on tour with the world's oldest horn club: treble and more treble
‘You’re doing what?’ said my friend incredulously as if I were off for a week of Georgian Nose Whistling. It was horn-playing, Vienna-horn playing, Vienna horn playing in the wilds of Scotland. Along as the photographer, my eardrums were girded, my inner vegetarian locked up.

Coco De Mer’s Female Ejaculation Salon by C Saint-John
Run Riot’s undercover lady of pleasure ‘C Saint-John’ indulged her self with a charmed Erotic Education Salon as hosted by the sensual Coco de Mer. This evenings subject, dear reader, was of the great topic: ‘Female Ejaculation’. The speaker was no other than the acclaimed female ejaculation expert and author Deborah Sundahl – a glorious pioneer of this area. Her book, ‘Female Ejaculation and the G-spot’, and her video line titled, ‘The Female Ejaculation Sex Education Series’ draws on her 22 years experience, research and instruction on this important topic of female sexuality.
V-log: 'She Makes War' the New Video
Here at Run-Riot we like to break through the fourth wall and spit on its filthy rubble. Here's a video about making a video from neo-grunge, solo artist She Makes War - "Let This Be". She played bass for Tricky. That makes her cool.
James Lovelock at the South Bank by Lucy Gilliam
Famous for his Gaia theory, Lovelock is one of Britain's great outsiders and his South Bank audience this week contained another. Vivienne Westwood asked a pointed question at the end and Eco blogger Lucy Gilliam was there to see it all.
