Friday Fun and The Friday Gig Roundup!

Today is a terrible day for the hard core porn industry. It has just been revelaed that one of their top stars has been elected as councillor for the Reform party. It is a dark day for the industry, to discover that one of the leading porn stars has such a secret life. Can you imagine if you are having a nice quiet night in with a bottle of brown ale and your laptop and you are just getting in the mood, when "knock knock knock" and the person you've been fantasising over on your laptop is on your doorstep asking you to sign up to support Nigel Farage? I wonder how many times he knocked on a door and someone said "I didn't recognise you with your clothes on!". I do hope that this isn't a trend that catches on. I must say that there are very few politicians of any party who I'd fancy seeing in their birthday suit. But hey, ho, it takes all sorts.

And on to this weeks local music news. The big news is that two of Barnets top bands, The Silencerz and The False Dots are appearing at Nambucca on The Holloway Road (Nearest tube Archway) tonight. There are still a few tickets left

Nambucca is a great venue and it should be a really great night! If a bit of Ska, Reggae, Soul and pop is your thing, this will be right up your street. The Silencrz feature Madness Sax player Lee Thompson and his son Daley is on vocals! What is not to like
