The chaps from Oh Inverted World!, one of our finest promoters at The Old Queen's Head, delivered one hell of a show.
Headlining the proceedings were the amazing Goldheart Assembly, who due to some contractual issue's with those big dogs at Live Nation weren't allowed to be advertised as playing the show till the day before.
Apparently this was something to do with their sold out big show at the ICA which is on the horizon - so as you can imagine having them play at OQH was quite a coup.
I hadn't seen them before, but had heard great things, and they didn't disappoint. A lot of bands (anything folky) get comparisons to Fleet Foxes, and these guys are no exception with songs laden with beautiful harmonies & melodies, but along with Mumford & Son's & Fanfarlo they do it with a class of their own.
They were supported by the strangely named Ivan Ink and Pen (who contary to the almost comedy name are actually very very good) and a new female singer/song writer called Slow Moving Millie.
There were also some rather interesting and varied celebrities in the audience, including....
Jay Darlington (Kula Shaker & Oasis Keyboardist
Romeo (The Magic Numbers Lead Singer - not the chump from So Solid Crew)
One of The Feeling
'Lunchbox' from The Full Monty
& Some cast members from Holby City & Skins
I wonder if they all arrived together? Maybe they're all Friends?
Anyways, the next Oh Inverted World! night is on Thursday 22nd April and they have the rather special James Vincent McMorrow coming over from Ireland playing.
Here are some pictures from last Thursday for you....
