Avatar @ The Penny Gill


What an amazing afternoon yet again in the Penny Gill in Spennymoor!

This week they had on the amazing Avatar, by far my favourite band that plays a Sunday, the pub is always packed when they are playing and everyone has a brilliant time! 

Yet again they entertained us all majorly! With playing the beer keg during psychosocial, slipknot cover, not to mention foam hands worn by the crowd. Really mad afternoon, wouldn't have it any other way, best band and best venue!

They need to come back and play at the Penny soon!

Dixon Did It At The Penny Gill



Unfortunately I could only stay for the first half of the bands set at their gig last night at the Penny Gill in Spennymoor due to work getting me up at 4.30am!

From what I heard in the first half of the gig was pretty great, there were a few technical issues with the microphone, although they suffered this issue they didn't let it effect their performance, they dealt with the problem like real professionals, carrying on as if nothing was wrong and fixing it after their song.

The band have a really great energy and really get you feeling the music, listening and watching them gave off a buzz, found myself dancing away and rocking out on a couple of occasions, and I was sober! Not a common thing to happen!

As well as their stage presence and the professionalism during the microphone issue, they chose a great set list that showed off their abilities, great range of vocals, not to play favourite as there were two vocalists, the female vocalist had some amazing talent, really enjoyed their set!

Would love to go and see them again and I am sure that the Penny Gill would have them back for another gig too, heard such great comments from the locals and for a Wednesday night they got a lot of people in.

Swapping buskers night for the band was a brilliant idea, I know I had a good time!



Below is a video I have stolen from youtube, just a little taster for my readers:

Change is hard...

Life has hit an all time low... Have you ever had that feeling of something missing? You try so hard to fill the void but no matter what you try it is still there...

I have never felt this before until now. I always wish that I was a different person and that I was a better person. No matter what I do I seem to fuck up...

There aren't a lot of people I love and care for, each time that I find myself loving I push them straight in the other direction and this time I have tried so damn hard to keep it there but I have done it yet again, how are you supposed to change and become a better person when everything and everyone that you love leaves you behind.

Change was a big part of this year, I am trying so so hard. I don't feel any further forward though.

Wish it could be so simple to just get up and disappear but, unfortunately, it isn't.

Stuck in this hell until the very end, I used to believe in God and that everyone had a purpose but lately its hard to believe when from the very beginning of life I have been screwed over.

Giving up is a better motto. Become the person I fear of being, might as well...
