Hello and welcome to
Issue 13 of The Gig
Guide, which sees us say
hello to Spring as we see the
end of the Winter months!
It’s getting tougher for music
right now, with more and more
local pubs cutting down their music quota, or even
stopping altogether. However there is still a wide
variety going on and we will try our best to keep
you informed about the latest news.
This issue we’ve got interviews with Mike Lewis from
Lostprophets; talking about life in the band, and
also with Jenny Hardcore; the quirky and alternative
photography who’s shots have already graced the
pages of our Gig Guide previously.
March sees the very start of festival season with
Quarterhouse in Folkestone hosting ‘The Hook’, plus
stay tuned as we’ll be bringing you news of the
summers top festivals in our next edition.
As always, enjoy the read!

Interview: Lostprophets
February - March | The Gig Guide | 9
Since releasing their debut album
in 2000 and exploding onto the
new music scene, Lostprophets
have done rather well for themselves
in a decade.
2010 has already seen the lads from
Pontypridd release their fourth studio
album; ‘The Betrayed’
to a very welcome
reception. The new
album is said to be
darker than previous
offerings and bring a
new, but familiar sound from the band.
Now in the midst of their UK tour (with
support from fellow Welsh band Kids
in Glass Houses), Lostprophets will
be visiting Margate’s Winter Gardens
on 9th February.
We caught up with guitarist Mike Lewis
for a chat to find out about the bands
beginnings, influences and music
piracy...
BY STUART KEELER
Interview: Lostprophets
10 | The Gig Guide | February - March
I remember seeing you guys at TheCamden Underworld back in 2001. Didyou ever think back when you first startedthat you would come this far, 4 albumslater?
“Nah definitely not. We didn’t know whatwas gonna happen as the UK scene was verydifferent back then. We’re very lucky to havethe support that we do.”
Your debut; Thefakesoundofprogress wasquite unique for it’s time, soundingdifferent to everything else around whichhelped to propel you onto the commercialmusic scene. Did you expect such a warmreception from the media and recordcompanies?
“I dunno if we did have a warm reception.Some mags were into us and others slated us.We were never media darlings, it was the kidscoming to our shows that got us where weare.”
Where do you get your influences from…I’m guessing Duran Duran fit’s insomewhere?!
“All over the place! Metal, punk, indie, pop…We’re total music geeks. Duran duran is defo inthere though.”
With thefakesoundofprogress, a largeproportion of fans were keen to shoutcries of ‘selling out’ when you re-masteredthe album. Were you worried aboutlosing your entire fanbase andessentially having to start from scratch?
“Nah we never thought that. We never reallysaw much difference between them. We justsaw it as an opportunity to tweak an albumthat we rushed in a week.”
Originally when news of the band spread,you weren’t overly bothered by musicpiracy and were happy for the listenersto hear your music in whatever form. Doyou still hold the same opinions and whatare your views on the whole musicindustry/piracy debate?
“I think you have to hold that opinion. It’spretty pointless to fight it, I can’t see us goingback now. What’s important to us is peoplecome see us live.”
Your new album ‘The Betrayed’ is said tobe darker than previous offerings. Canyou elaborate on this for us and how has itbeen received so far?
“Reaction has been great so far. Just thetone and mood of the record is darker than ourprevious records.”
February - March | The Gig Guide | 11
You originally planned to release thealbum in 2007 but subsequentlyscrapped material recorded with producerJohn Feldmann. Will we see these songsreleased in the future?
“Nah they will never ever see the light ofday!”
What was it like for you to return to thefestival scene playing Reading & Leeds inthe summer?
“I unfortunately missed it as my wife wentinto labour. The boys tell me they wereamazing though.”
How is drummer Luke Johnson fitting in?“Incredibly well. It’s like he’s always been in
the band.”
You carefully select other Welsh bands tosupport you on tour, is this to show ahelpful community spirit to those bandsyet to be discovered or to ‘give somethingback’ for the success you have achieved?
“A bit of both. They’re all great bands so wethink they deserve our support. Plus most ofthem are our mates so we like touring withthem.”
What are your thoughts on Rage AgainstThe Machine’s assault on the UK Christmascharts using people power?
“I thought it was amazing. Finally someonestanding up against all this manufactured poprubbish!”
The Gig Guide 6Favourite Bar Snack?
“Salt and vinegar crisps.”
Myspace, Twitter, Facebook orMyTwitFace?
“Twitter.”
What’s the biggest animal you coulddefend yourself against in unarmedcombat?
“An elephant.”
What would be your one message to theworld?
“Slow up son.”
Any pet hates?“Mushrooms.”
Tea of Coffee?“Toffee.”

Interview: Jenny Hardcore
When I was thinking ofwhat to write thismonth I wanted to do
an interview which wasdifferent to the norm and wouldalso give an insight to adifferent side of the bands weknow and love, more of abackstage kind of thing. This is when I spotted JennyHardcore who is totally perfectfor the job.
Jenny is a photographer fromLondon who has had thepleasure of snapping some ofthe music industries top talent. Her career has taken her allover the UK and Europesnapping bands since 2005 andher success has also lead to herexhibiting at the Tom-Tom
Gallery in Covent Garden. I would describe Jenny’sphotographic style as hard,urban and gritty withsometimes disturbingundertones. Her photography isvisually exciting and descriptiveand can make something verydull look mysterious andenticing. Her style has enabledher to shoot many famousnames such as The Who, DirtyPretty Things, The DandyWarhols, The Cribs,Babyshambles, Jamie T, LupenCrook and The Murderbirds andFlorence and the Machine. MissHardcore was also responsiblefor snapping the Charlatanstour photo-diaries and assistingwith sleeve art for their album‘You Cross My Path’.
Jenny has had work publishedin some of the industries topmusic mags such as NME,Artrocker magazine, Time Out,Guardian Guide and of courseThe Gig Guide.Her work has also featured in abook by James Bradshaw titled‘Punk; a directory of modernsubversive culture’. Now I would say that’s a prettyimpressive CV so far however Iam sure Miss Hardcore hasplenty more up her sleeve.
Read on to find out what makesJenny tick and life on tour inamongst sweaty socks andplentiful beer cans...
Words: JO LAWFORD, Images: JENNY HARDCORE
Interview: Jenny Hardcore
14 | The Gig Guide | February - March
As I said that I would findout what makes you tick Isuppose that’s a good placeto start, so what makes MissHardcore tick? And thatdoes include trolley rage insupermarkets.
“I guess lots of thingsinspire me to take photos, I’vealways had a very vividimagination, not always for thebetter, but I certainly seem toremember things in images farbetter than words or numbers.I went back to my parentshome a few years ago andfound my mum had kept all mycameras from when I was littleand my dad had kept all thephotos – mainly of cats anddogs – but it was reassuring toremember that photographyhas pretty much always beenpart of my life and I’m veryglad it still is today…I don’tthink I’ve ever committedtrolley rage – I’m more of asilent anger person I think.”
Describe yourself in threewords.“I am me.”
So where did the Hardcorepart of your name comefrom?
“There were a lot of storiesand rumours around this a fewyears ago, mostly started by
myself! But the honest answeris that it was a nick-name fromwhen I was younger that stuckand when I started takingphotos at gigs the people doingthe guest list alwaysremembered it so it provedkind of useful.”
Your working life soundspretty glamourous (withoutthe sweaty socks of course)but is it?
“No definitely not, I wastalking to our plumber (who’salso an artist and DJ) the otherday about this and he wassaying it is strange that a lot ofcelebrities and musicians arepublicly presented withglamourous lives getting greathotel rooms, tour buses andfree booze and food at gigs andon tour but when the jobfinishes few people live livesany different to the rest of us. Ithink he’s right and while I amso grateful for all the storiesand adventures I have had theyall end sometime and quicklybecome bizarre but cherishedmemories.”
How would you describeyour photographic style? “That’s kinda difficult; I think Itake photos of how I seethings. A friend of mine oncecommented that she found it
surprising looking at my livephotos when she had beenstood next to me at the samegig and the final image lookednothing like how sheremembered – I think this is agood thing. I’m sure everyonehas been to a tiny gig in theirlocal pub and seen some guywith a guitar who should clearlybe singing to 3000 not 30people and I would like to thinkthat I could visuallycommunicate the iconographyof that individual withoutanyone who sees the imagebeing able to hear what he isplaying.”
You started working in anoffice I believe, what madeyou dump the rat race for amore creative life?
“I actually started myworking life in music shops –nothing fancy just the bog-standard hmv, virgin and ourprice – but after university I fellfor the premise that we all hadto get jobs and well paid jobsat that (if only to pay backstudent loans) which as anyuniversity leaver knows is amyth. I worked in television for5 years – this would be theoffice job I think you arespeaking of but I never quiteaccepted it. I have a lot ofrespect for people who do 9-5jobs and work hard to lookafter the things that areimportant to them but I justnever quite learned how to dothat. Whilst working on theFrank Skinner show I metsomeone who inadvertentlyreminded me what it was liketo love music and feel part ofsomething exciting so I dustedoff (literally) my old 35mmcamera from university andstarted going to gigs and takingphotos again…it didn’t take longto drop the day-job, get part-time work in a pub andremember how to live frugally,I don’t regret it at all even ifmy loan is now twice as muchas it was when I leftuniversity!”
February - March | The Gig Guide | 15
You have snapped somepretty impressive names inthe past, how did theopportunities come about? “I am very lucky in this sense,a lot of people have gone out oftheir way to help me withcertain shoots and passes togigs etc and I am very gratefulto everyone who has given methese opportunities. During theyear and a half that I workedwith The Charlatans theysupported The Who and playedat Alan McGee’s TV show/clubnight with The Dandy Warhols.The Cribs played at XFM winterwonderland with them, where Ialso had the honour of brieflymeeting Peter Hook from JoyDivision/New Order. Jamie Tand Florence & The Machineboth started out playing in pubsin North London I know welland various people helped mewith press passes at the time.I’m hoping to do some morework with Peter Doherty soonas I know a guy who is makinga documentary about him whichcould be interesting as it shouldbe more of a creative projectand an interesting person tophotograph bearing in mindhow well documented his lifehas already been previously.”
What have been thehighlights of your career sofar?“I rarely get star-struck butoften get nervous and most ofmy highlights are riddled withnerves as much as excitement.Photographing The Who atWembley was pretty amazing, Igrew up listening to The Whoand my mum even saw themon Eel Pie Island when theywere called The High Numbersin 1964 so to be stood a fewmeters away from PeteTownshend doing ‘the windmill’was pretty amazing.Also the shoot with ShaneMacGowan was a definitehighlight, the guy is a livinglegend and I didn’t know himvery well when we did thisshoot but he was great to work
with, very professional andeasy going – I hope to dosomething else with him thisyear. The 2 week tour of Europe withThe Charlatans is probably stillmy ultimate highlight if onlybecause I never dreamed that Icould be bombing round thecontinent in a 12 bunk bus withsome of the greatest people ascompany. It was a very surrealexperience as you are cut offfrom most of the outside worldand only see venues and hotelsand the inside of the bus, bythe time it came to an end Ihad become quiteinstitutionalised and the wholeconcept of getting off the busfor the last time was scary ashell, that said I now know howto ask for tobacco in about 5languages which is prettyuseful!”
Got any gossip about thebands you’ve snapped? Wepromise not to any mentionnames. “Half of the job is discretion ;)”
I am going to ask thatdreaded question thateveryone hates in jobinterviews, where do yousee yourself in 5 years? “5 years seems a long way off,especially when I think of the 5
that have just been! I wouldlike to start putting more timeand effort into my personalprojects, I am very interestedin experimenting with oldercameras, I have a Kodak boxbrownie from 1914 which I amlearning to use and variousother art projects too. I willkeep doing music photography(I don’t think I could stop) butwant to get more involved instudio work this year, I find iteasier to be creative in acontrolled environment and canlet my imagination run riot a bitmore...I recently had a bandcalled The Arcadian Kickswrapped up in bondage tape ina studio in Birmingham!”
Who are your musicalinfluences? “This may sound bad but Ithink I take more influencefrom movies and books than Ido music. I have been a horrorfan for some time and enjoyimagery that unsettles theviewer, I enjoy deconstructingit and working out how it hasbeen done and why it makesyou feel a certain way.Lyrically there are a few artistswho inspire me like LupenCrook, Tom Waits, The Horrors,Florence & The Machine’s earlyrecordings ‘Girl With One Eye’and ‘My Best Dress’ inspired me
Interview: Jenny Hardcore
16 | The Gig Guide | February - March
to sketch out an idea for aportrait of her in a taxidermistshop near my old house inHolloway…sadly I never got toarrange the shoot but wouldstill love to if the opportunityever arose – I definitely have afairy-tale/fantasy leaningvisually but it’s always beenlyrics more than music thatinspires me when it comes tobands.”
If you weren’t aphotographer what wouldbe your dream job?
“Domestic house cat.”
If you could shoot someone(alive or dead) who would itbe and where?
“Tom Waits– in a disusedmental asylum. I recently foundloads of online communities ofphotographers who break intodisused buildings likeballrooms, hospitals and oldarmy air bases to document theremaining ruins, the images arestunning. They all share storiesabout which entrances arecovered by security and at whattime you can break into whichwindow, I love that kind ofrebellious creativity, its fairlyharmless as long as thebuilding is stable and thephotographers have respect forit and there has always beensomething exciting aboutphotos of things you were notsupposed to see especially ifthere is visual reference toobjects that served a certainpurpose like hospital beds andwheelchairs, it makes theimage eerie and unsettling.”
Got any favourite localbands?
“In London there are a fewbands I am excited by at themoment, 2 girls called ‘This isLaura’ who play accordion,violin, harp and various otherbits and bobs oftenaccompanied by a cellist and/ordrummer – they play veryhaunting 40’s inspired music I
strongly recommend checkingthem out, I also like RumShebeen and a French gypsyfolk band called Sanjoro a lot.”
What do you think of theKent music scene?
“To be honest I have neverlived in Kent nor stayed theremore than a night or two so Ireally don’t know very muchabout it. I remember a fewyears ago it seemed like one
great band after another werecoming out of it and a friendand I used to say there wassomething in the water thatseemed to make everyonereally talented musicians.”
If you lived your life by aphilosophy what would itbe? “I try to live a moral life but dothink we are faced with moreand more contradicting
February - March | The Gig Guide | 17
information and images. Ialmost never read tabloids butrecently read an article thattruly horrified me and it mademe think about the easy accesswe have nowadays to tragedyand violence – you tube,tabloids, anti-smoking imagesall of which I think do far fromscare us into submission andmore often de-sensitise us andmake us laugh. Some thingsshould be horrific andunpleasant to the vast majorityof the general public and themore we get used to true lifegore the less we will care whenwe see/get caught up in it. So Ihave recently decided to binany tabloid I find left behind onthe bus or tube simply as adrop in the ocean of limiting theconsumption of suchinformation and imagery. Isuppose this is a kind of anti-philosophy but one I would liketo live by.”
What’s your favouritevegetable?
“Mushroom? My dad goesmushrooming in autumn andwhen I was little I used to gowith him, we found all sorts ofdelicious edible mushrooms(and a few not so edible!) andused to make a fire in thewoods and fry them up on anold hubcap and eat them withbread.”
If you had to go in to theBig Brother house and onlyallowed one luxury item,what would it be? (You cantake animals but no people).
“Our beautiful kitten TheNoodle….who is currently tryingto get me to play fetch withhim!”
Who’s your favourite band? “Lupen Crook & the
Murderbirds are still the onlyband I have met or seen tosincerely give me hope forcontemporary, original andtruly unique music in my life-time. As mentioned previously
one of the main things I loveabout music is the sense ofunity people experience beingpart of something exciting andnew. For the past few years theband have been working with asub-name of The CrookedFamily which activelyencouraged people withcreative minds to get involvedartistically, photographicallyand musically. I personally feelthat a lot of time is spentpolishing unique acts andseparating them from theaudience to be held up as‘celebrity’ and something to beadmired for status rather thantalent or originality. Some ofthe greatest and mostlegendary bands and musicianshave been awkward ortroubled…The Ramones, JeffBuckley, The Stones and morerecently Jamie T, I feel we aresadly lacking in such honestand forthright musicians whoare not afraid to presentthemselves as who they are‘warts and all’ as it were. LupenCrook and The Murderbirdsoften write lyrics and musicthat deal with all the dirty andunpleasant often uncomfortableelements of life and have thecharacter, creativity and talentto match such raw and oftendisturbing truths.”
Jeremy Kyle or Trisha?“Jeremy but only for 5 mins
or I start to worry about the enmasse self-destruction ofhumanity.”
Tea or coffee? “Coffee every day, Irish in
winter mmmmm.”
Cats or dogs? “I adore and admire both
but cats have the edge for me,they just make a lot of sense.”
If you could be someoneelse and live their life whowould you be?
“I don’t think I’ve everenvied a person enough towant their life, I see people Iwould like to look like or havethe talent of or people who payfor cabs in the rain (I envythem a little) but I still believeeveryone worries just as muchas the next – it’s the dual curseand blessing of free thought, soagain if I could live another lifeI think I would surrender freethought and be a house cat.”
What’s playing on yourstereo at the minute?
“Jamie T, Yeah Yeah Yeahs,6 Nation State, Kate Bush,Florence.”

Review: Heads South at Keppels Bar
20 | The Gig Guide | February - March
Keppels Bar which is
located in the
magnificent Grand Hotel
in Folkestone has been a
venue for good quality
jazz for the past four
years. Keppels is a small
intimate venue with a
black and white,
chequered patterned
floor which creates a
classy cabaret ambience.
Intriguingly, Keppels Bar
is named after socialite
and probable courtesan,
Alice Keppel whose most
famous conquest was
King Edward VII.
Apparently the King had
two adjoining suites in
the Grand Hotel, one for
the Queen and one for
his lover, who was a
creditable 28 years
younger than the King
and by all accounts a bit
of a looker. Just in case
there are any litigious
royal readers, my mate
reckons that Queen
Alexandra makes Camilla
Parker Bowles look bed
worthy so there may
have been mitigating
circumstances.
And therein lies a piece
of historical irony. Alice
Keppel was in fact the
maternal great
grandmother of Camilla
PB. One could be
forgiven for observing
that the similarities
between the two women
end at their royal
patronage. Somebody
once said that history
teaches everything
including the future.
What history actually
teaches us is that the
Royals are indeed partial
to a bit on the side.
And the gig….. Heads
South is a refreshing
cultural mix of players
with outstanding jazz
credentials. The band is
led by pianist composer
John Harriman and
features the outstanding
UK jazz trumpeter Steve
Waterman, Cuban
percussionist Chino
Martel Morgan, drummer
Buster Birch and bassist
Tim Robertson. Their
BY MICHAEL LAKE
February - March | The Gig Guide | 21
music is a blend of
original pieces and
cleverly arranged jazz
classics. Cuban rhythms
dominate giving the
music its distinct Latin
jazz feel.
The highlight of a varied
and lively opening set
was an original salsa
number El Cardenel
which is a musical
reflection on the
composer’s choir days. It
featured some rocking
syncopated percussion
and drum soloing. The
second set included
reworkings of the well
known jazz classics Mach
the Knife and
Guatanemera, the latter
provoking a bit of
audience participation
but thankfully no chants
of “one team in Europe”.
Arguably the best tune
of the evening was the
album piece Sweet Swan
which included an
excellent piano solo and
some crisp and bluesy
Hubbardesque trumpet
playing.
Heads South is a fine
jazz band and well worth
watching. They have
dates booked in venues
across the South East
over the next few
months. You can check
this out along with some
of the tunes on their
website
www.headssouth.com.
Steve Waterman’s new
album Stablemates also
deserves a listen and
pays homage to the
works of jazz legends
Benny Golson and Wayne
Shorter.
Jazz nights are held at
Keppels every Thursday
night throughout the
year run by jazz
enthusiast Derek
Woodward. For further
details of forthcoming
events check the Gig
guide listings or contact
Derek on 01303 260330.

Up Close and Personal: Googies Art Café
40 | The Gig Guide | February - March
BY ABBY KEDWELL
Googies is, at the moment,the talk of the town withits’ name appearingeverywhere.
Googies is the brain child ofKeith Holland and wasopened on the 31st August2009. Armed with adelicious home-made menu,quirky drinks and bohemiandécor it is a haven for arti-licous people to chill andswap ideas. People from allwalks of the creative worldwander through its’ doorsand make Googies alegendary networkinghaunt. Local artists,writers, musicians,performers, comedians andmime artists (yes I saidmime artists!) alike allgravitate towards thisGoogie wonderland of likeminded people andeccentricity; proving to bejust as addictive to thosewho simply appreciate the creative spark in others. It continuously has something going on from secret
parties to jam sessions andsomehow never fails tosurprise.
From a customer’s point ofview I first found, and stillfind, that Googies isunmistakably unique. Assoon as I entered, I wasstruck by the warmambience and as someonelooking for inspiring andimaginative people to sharea coffee with, I sure foundwhat I was looking for. Iwas introduced to Keith awhile back and from thereit’s a bit of a blur. Keithknew all the right people tospeak to and pointed me inthe right direction. I havesince networked with someextraordinarily talentedpeople, some of which arenow good friends and arehelping me with futureprojects. Personally themost vibrant part ofGoogies is that anythingcan happen. I sat writingthis article whilst glancingat the photographic and
painted artwork, when acustomer got up andstarted playing the piano -very well I might add. Itgave an otherwise ordinarytea drinking session a kindof spontaneity other cafesjust don’t have.
Knowing that no one day isthe same at Googies makesit appealing to go relaxthere and just let anafternoon unfold. I do havea strong feeling that it willbe the birth place of manytalented acts and will bethrowing more amazingparties and events in thenear future. You will notforget Googies in a hurryand it is somewhere Ihighly recommend you seekout and enjoy.
I asked a few customerswhat they thought ofGoogies and here’s whatthey had to say;
“When Googies firstopened, I wasn’t sure what

to make of yet anothercafé/coffee shop inFolkestone, but the more Ihave visited and networkedwith the people there, themore I have come to learnthat it is more than a café.It has unpretentiouslybecome the nucleus forFolkestone’s creativefollowing, housing peoplethat can make a genuinedifference in your journeyto getting noticed withinyour artistic field.”
“Googies gives exposureanother meaning, I haveonly visited twice but fromthat I have realised that mywork is good enough and Inow know that I can pursuemy dreams with moreconfidence.”
“After hearing that Googieswas an art café I thought itwould be full of arty fartypeople, that quite franklydidn’t know art if it bitthem on the nose but I waspleasantly surprised todiscover they’re not.Everybody is welcome, allopinions are welcome andall ideas are welcome.” “I had Moroccan lamb andcous cous not long ago andit was gorgeous. Thesmoogies drinks are yummytoo. You can sit and eat ordrink and talk to peopleknowledgeable in theirfields. I have met someamazing people and I knowI will continue to do so.”
If you are interested inbecoming a regular at
Googies or you havesomething that you thinkwould add to thecommunity then take a lookat their website and addthem as a friend onfacebook.www.googies.co.nr/
Don’t forget Googies is fullylicensed and openThursday, Friday andSaturday evenings. With afine selection of beers,wines and spirits it offersan alternative environmentto enjoy unwinding in atthe end of a long week –not to mention a greatplace to stop by to getyourselves in the mood fora night on the town.

Not To Be Missed:
Created and founded in 1988 in Melbourne,
Australia by director and musician Rod
Stephen, Björn Again is not a copy or tribute
band, but seen as a satirical parody of ABBA and a
brand in it’s own right, which rapidly achieved
worldwide cult status.
Having been endorsed by ABBA vocalist Agnetha
Fältskog, the ultimate aim, as always for Rod is to
keep his brand at the top and continue for as long
as people want to see and hear ABBA’s songs
performed the way Björn Again does them.
The 20th March sees your chance to witness this
phenomenal show at Margate’s Winter Gardens.
The show starts at 7:30 pm and tickets cost
£17.50 (plus a service charge), available from the
box office in person, or by calling 01843 292795 /
01843 296111.
