No, this is not a post about a trek into the jungle…  It’s about a last minute decision to go to see a band while I was back in my ‘home’ town of Hull (the UK City of Culture 2017).  My niece, Jen, has been a fan of the Wild Beasts for over 10 years and she managed to get her mum (my sister) and me tickets.  Well, you’re only young once!

A great night was had by all – especially Alastair, who simply adores music (even more than splashing in water – if you recall his holiday in Switzerland).  The pictures are a little grainy and blurred, but that’s not surprising given the light conditions.   The last picture is very unusual, not just because it’s a telephone box inside a pub, but because it’s red.  As all the telephone boxes in the Hull area are a sort of creamy white, due to the service being independent from the UK network.

Here’s an example of what the band sound like

      Yes, it was a great and ‘different’ evening (for me anyway!)

        Yes, they were very good and nothing like the (heavy rock) sound their name suggests. (Thankfully!) 🙂

      Thank you Jane, that’s very kind of you. My favourite was no. 1, (of the band anyway), which is why I put it first. I also liked the one of Alastair and Jen, which we took afterwards. I liked the contrast with the black background.

    I like their sound, very nice. Sounding almost 80s, early 90s? But I only listened to one song. And dare I reference ‘To Hull and Back?” 😁
