The Primitives, Jetstream Pony – The Lexington, Islington

My first proper non-socially-distanced inside gig since the start of the pandemic! Which did make me a bit worried – although I have been double-jabbed so I probably shouldn’t have been worried. The rest of the audience should be more worried that they’re going to catch my Cold That Won’t Go Away.

Got in early to watch Jetstream Pony, who I had enjoyed interviewing recently, and their set was short but very sweet.

Added bonus that I’d managed to claim some of the padded seats on the left of the venue – the ones you can’t see in the dark.

The Primitives’ set was fantastic – but also short and sweet. Lots of music; only about 50 minutes or so. But still great to see them once again. When I bought Lovely on cassette back in 1988 I wouldn’t have imagined I’d be watching them play the songs live 33 years later.
