Weekend in the Wick

What a huge Queen's birthday weekend of music in the Wick! Brunswick's premier gig guide "Pericoloco" has had a diificult time in choosing this weekend's Golden Parrot Award, primarily because of the huge number of gigs without even including Monday.

The Rock-a-thon at the Brunswick on Sunday is free and features five bands. We don't know them all but State-of-the-Union once graced the stage with Perico and we know they're certainly a seriously rocking unit.

It's very tempting to promote Richard Clapton who plays at the East on Saturday, except, as Damo says, how can you be interested in a guy whose name is "dick clapped on"?. Mind you Damo won't promote anything at the East at the moment as he's still smarting over events of a few weeks ago.

So, the Golden Parrot goes to Friday night's Retreat gig featuring Matt Walker and Ashley Davies. It'll be good.
