On the off chance... Are you a music buff based near Guildford / Farnham who is interested in managing an original indie rock band? I've suddenly got loads of gig offers coming through and whilst it's fantastic, I'm starting to find it all a bit overwhelming to manage myself. DM for a chat!

I want my country back. By that, I mean a country where I would be confident that a thug who livestreamed himself stabbing an RNLI dingy on an active operation would a) Be universally condemned b) Be swiftly arrested, put on trial and if found guilty, face many years in jail. I miss that country.

Danny Tommo has been filmed slashing a dinghy in the channel containing migrants and a rescue worker on board. There is no mention of this on the BBC news website at all as far as I can see. Yet when he and his thugs turn up in masks it's all "Legitimate protestors show ankle in Dover".

What on earth is happening?

This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

Fantastic review of Sleeptalk's gig at The Stoke in the Guildford Dragon! "Energy infected the venue through five catchy songs influenced by Radiohead, the Beatles and Pixies. Crowd work and stage presence blazed alongside riffs and hooks. Awesome!"

Fantastic review of Sleeptalk's gig at The Stoke in the Guildford Dragon!

"Next were indie band, Sleeptalk, raising the roof with relish.

The drums and bass shook hips with tight grooves. The guitarist was a virtuoso and the singer had the power of Lulu with the delicacy of Kate Bush.

Looking for gigs - October onwards! We are a female fronted 4-piece original indie rock band. Influences include Wet Leg, Kate Bush, Supergrass and The Beatles. We are very committed to promoting all our gigs on social media channels, our mailing list and WhatsApp community.

Sleeptalk poster - eclectic scene set at a lido. The band members are all either hidden or Tess the drummer is at the front with a mermaid tail. There's a zebra, sugar mice, the emoji poos coming down a water slide, some massive strawberries and a kitchen tap on top of a water fountain. In the water there's a guitar, a hairdryer and the Pre-Raphaelite Ophelia. In the sky there's a plushy fire dragon wearing the heart of the ocean from the film, Titanic, and a wolf howls at the moon.

Got to admit, I am a little excited at the prospect of this. Potentially just nostalgic, but the idea of having a platform to promote our music where I'm not being fed a constant diet of stuff the algorithm thinks I will want is actually rather appealing. What do you reckon?

Bands/artists: what are you all like the day of a gig? I can't wait but I'm a bit nervous and so I can't focus on anything! I've never had regular gigs - was always pretty sporadic, even in my 20s. I assume it gets easier when you start doing it all the time! Any tips?! #livemusic #unsigned
