Pete and the Pirates @ The Hop Wakefield 20/04/2011
Despite living in Wakefield for the past twelve years I’ve never really been for a night out in the Merrie city. Can’t say the lure of a friday night on Westgate littered with drunk chavs is really my thang.
So it’s with glee that I find “Pete and the Pirates” are in town. So in a fairly full Hop I watch a selection of old classics and new tracks from the forthcoming album.
I’m please to say the new stuff on first listen sounds on par with old, looking forward to hearing more. Maybe I’ll see them at the Cockpit next month.
Still wish thier van hadn’t broke down on the way to Leeds Festival all those years ago, would have been great to see them back then. Anyway I digress, a smashing night and a great little venue (and near my house too).
