I went to primarily see Mohair on Sunday at Bar Academy. It is a small venue but there was still a decent crowd there, thoughI think there was more along for the first band than for the main act.

On first was the inkLings who were quite good, though Tom didn't help when he said "this sounds like man I feel like a woman by Shania Twain". If I am honest it did, must have been the chord pattern. They were good and I have given them a listen to since, however they don't have much available on their [website]. I might have to go to another one of their gigs. I think it will be have to be Sun 11th Sept at Bar Academy as the other one is during Reading. Actually that reminds me, I won't get to see the Crimea as they have a gig in Brum during Reading - argh.

Second on was [the Mexicolas], they sounded like they must have been around a bit longer and are used to play in front of crowds (unlike the inklings who didn't seem at all relaxed!). They were good though I wasn't hugely taken by them, probably worth a listen to if I can find some of their mp3's.

Finally it was [Mohair]. We saw them at Reading last year and they were great. Along with Agent Blue, in my opinion they were the find of the festival. We got to see their whole set this time - at Reading they were cut off early. It was a great set - very enjoyable. They are a good band. At one point me and Kat had thought they might not have gone anywhere as there was no news, well that's when we saw a poster for this gig in the Academy. Well worth the £6. Mohair rock.
