O2 Academy, Bournemouth I came away from tonight’s show wishing that I had grown up in the 70’s, owned a leather jacket and had a perm. Unfortunately, whilst the bands were amazing enough to blow my mind, they didn’t quite have magical powers, so I will just have to dream about those things.

Champions, Bournemouth It’s Wednesday night at Champions and four local acts of differing elements of rock are here to display their wares. First up are Ordering Chaos. Four young chaps on what is only their 2nd gig, and it shows. Yes they can play, it’s just all a little scattered. Chaotic though it isn’t.
