It’s that Australian bar. Yes, that’s right.
Richard and I went along to it after a tiring day at university (LOL #thirdyearlife) and found it to be quite pleasant. Continue reading
What To Expect From Walkabout

Burns Night Was Last Night
So how did we at L&T (which we’re increasingly calling ourselves during office meetings, no idea why, it sounds like a Lemonade & Tonic which would be awful), celebrate Burns Night?
Well we didn’t.

We did awkwardly go along to an event at the Lincoln Drill Hall which was in honour of the late poet Robert Burns (well, me and Alice did).
The event was organised by Liam Robinson, who is in charge of a band called “The Liam Robinson Dance Band“, unfortunately he doesn’t play sick David Guetta beats, but he does play some amazing Scottish Ceilidh dancing songs, which is just as good. Not.
It all involved dancing, singing and poetry. The first two of those things that I just wrote actually involved some level of audience participation. Imagine the awkward glances exchanged between myself and Alice as we realised that neither of us knew the lyrics to these traditional folk songs being sung.
Also the dancing was amazing. Alice got to dance with a rather elderly Scottish gentleman, and I had to dance with his wife, who was Canadian-Scottish. They were both surprisingly strong for their age and I was afraid at one moment of “Whipping The Willow” that I would in fact let go and go flying across the room.
Fear not, dear reader, that did not happen, your author is safe for now.
Pixie Lott Has Got Some New Songs Out
And they’re really rather good. The first one is called “Heart Cry”, and is a classic Pixie Lott love song, quite a slow beat, and definitely going to be one of those songs which is either on the beginning or end of the forthcoming album, but nice nonetheless.
The other song she’s released is called “Nasty”. I don’t know if she’s going through some sort of ‘third album sexual suggestiveness’ or something here, but it is rather a departure from her previous work.
Prior to this the most sexually suggestive thing she’d done was “What Do You Take Me For”, which was really quite on the line for someone with such a clean image.
Anyway, we’re unashamedly excited for the new album (well I say we, I am, Guppy won’t be, Alice won’t be, and I have no idea of Emily and Luke’s musical tastes at all, but websites like this tend to say “we” a lot so I thought it would be appropriate).
It is nice to hear a song which is aimed at ‘the clubs’ but actually has some level of jazz and trumpets in it though isn’t it.
Also there’s a bit where she gets a little ‘strong’ and goes off the notes (at 2:07) and I don’t like that bit, but other than that it’s a good song, and a worthy addition to any Pixie Lott fan’s repertoire.
I still kind of definitely fancy her quite a lot, which is odd for a gay man, I am aware.
What To Expect From Kind Bar
Lincoln has a lot of bars, it’s the perfect place to be if you love a good bar crawl. With a delightful mix of big chains and independent bars, Kind is one of Lincoln’s unique bars. You’ve probably passed it without even realising.
What To Expect From Lincoln New Year
In Chinese terms, 2014 is the year of the horse. And if you’re out seeing in this new year tonight, this is hopefully something that won’t be featuring in your post-night-out kebab (that scandal is so 2013, after all).
But if you can’t actually decide what to do with your life tonight, there are an array of events happening across the city to bring the year in with a bang.
Sugarcubes…Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover

Music “In Da Club” – December 2013
One of the first posts we ever did on this site was called something along these lines, and I looked at “big club anthems” and what was likely to be played. The irony is that I never go out because I dislike loud, cramped spaces and hot sweaty people standing too close to me.
But I’ve just discovered this which changes my whole view on clubbing.
If Home in Lincoln can play this (or indeed any other equally good establishment, we’re not advertising), it will make my evening and I will start attending nights out.
I can’t help but feel that if Miley Cyrus had released stuff like that to begin with, then we wouldn’t have the problem we’ve got now.
Also, this, “Wideboys Club Remix” of the annoying foetus of pop Conor Maynard has even managed to make one of his more boring songs (and that’s saying something) actually listenable.
Lincoln, you have been challenged. Start playing terrible pop but amazing remixes, then I shall attend your clubs once more.
(Oh yeah, also I don’t like alcohol, which kind of kills it for going out for me).
