Can you dig it (etc)

Are you tired of having to go to loads of different club nights to get your full musical fix? Or disappointed by the number of them that think the meaning of ‘eclectic’ is playing five hours of unrelenting hard house interrupted only by ten minutes in the middle when they spin ’Light My Fire’ by the Doors and one Lee Scratch Perry record?

Aren’t we all.

But there’s good news on the horizon, in the shape of a new night at The Bay Horse, called Dig For Victory! (exclamation watch: that one is theirs), which aims to bring a wide variety of sounds to your ears on the last Sunday of the month.

Normally we’re a bit wary of nights like this (for reasons already outlined, and because they often end up resembling soulless treks through that particular month’s top Hypem tracks), but given the blogular pedigree of the chaps behind DFV! - James and Jon are responsible for the immaculate Yer Mam! and Black Country Grammar sites respectively - we’re looking forward to good things. And, as Jon puts it, at the very least it should be “a nice way to get your Sunday lunch to settle”.

Dig For Victory! is on this Sunday (27th) at The Bay Horse, 7-11pm.
