The Oxjam, Worcester Facebook thingy is private (you have to add them as a friend - there isn't a group like most of the other Oxjam events have set up), which makes no sense for a charity event??

The mySpace for the Pig N Drum hasn't been updated for 2 years - does anyone have their current website?

Live music in Worcester (WR1)

There's no single website listing live music in Worcester for all venues, so here's a list of the few that I can find. (and I don't mean covers!).

http://www.marrsbar.co.uk/ - music at The Marrs Bar, Peirpoint St.

http://www.thetaskinhand.co.uk - music nights organised by the Task In Hand. Website is not being updated. They also have a mySpace that appears to updated regularly.

Undercurrent: gigs by the Task In Hand at the Marrs Bar. Can't find a website... "The people who brought you Task In Hand are also running the Under Current sessions here on the last Thursday of each month bringing some of the best local and not so local talent about. £3"

http://www.myspace.com/jennyatthepub- music at The Bedwardine pub, St. Johns. No links to the bands playing and text is very small.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/herefordandworcester/entertainment/friday_session/ - gigs in Worcestershire. Local BBC radio website.

http://www.notjustsauce.co.uk/ - Not Just Sauce. Venues and Promoters in Worcester (but not Evolution?). It's June and the homepage still shows gigs in May... They also have a myspace.

Worcester Music Festival on Facebook.

Worcester Music Group on Facebook

The Firefly pub on Facebook

The Task in Hand on Facebook

Evolution on LastFM

Cellar Bar on Facebook - Cellar Bar, Foregate Street.

Days Old Booking - "Putting on Live music in Worcester From Punk/Hardcore/Emo/ and anything else..."

Further afield:

The Lamb (West Malvern) on myspace.com - The Lamb in West Malvern. No links to the bands playing.

Hereford - "Broad Sheep has been the definitive what's on guide to the Arts in Herefordshire, South Shropshire and the Welsh Borders." (their words).

Robbins Well, Leamington Spa - gigs at the Robbins Well pub, Leamington Spa. Another Leamington related mySpace here.


If a website listing gigs at Evolution exists I couldn't find it...

Calm Like A Riot

Calm in the light, originally uploaded by ukespresso.

Calm Like A Riot played this week in Wolverhampton's Little Civic as part of Battle of the Bands. They played 4 songs to impress the judges but despite an impressive and typically spirited performance came second. Onwards and upwards!

The other bands were metal so they may have been fighting an uphill battle before they started but the short, sharp and sweet set went down well. Calm Like A Riot hail from Worcester and write/ play all their own songs that are hard to label but have a hint of Rage Against The Machine, a splash of hip-hop and a twist of punk attitude.

Make up your own mind- listen to their music at http://www.myspace.com/CalmLikeARiot

If you're on Facebook visit them here.

NB: I had planned to do an introductory type first post but... "We're supposed to start with these operation programs first. That's major boring shit. Let's do something a little more fun. How about... combat training."
