I thought the massed crowds of ILM would be excited by this news. (Shouldn't mock, it's for cheridee. So I'll let someone else do it instead.)
Friday 8th August Carling Academy Oxford The headline artist, recently reformed Dodgy, will be performing their hits which include, "Staying Out For The Summer", "Good Enough" and "If You're Thinking Of Me". Dodgy will be joined on the bill by local Brit Pop pioneers, The Candyskins who have reformed especially for this show. The Candyskins were last seen performing at the sell out "End Of An Era" show at the former Zodiac.Set to open the show are local new talent A Silent Film, followed by TCT Music favourite Frank Turner, who will be playing a special solo acoustic set. To ensure as higher donation as possible to Cancer Research, the promoters and their staff will be working on the event for free.

Bet no-one turns up for the first act, thinking it's just a silent film.

Bet no-one turns up for the second act, thinking it's a wretched Billy Bragg impersonator with a bag of plums in his mouth.

"so Let Me Go Far" was actually a good song, "In A Room" weren't bad either. "Good Enough" was horrible and sounded like the Rugrats theme tune.

Disappointed by lack of follow-up "Bet no-one turns up for the headline act" zing

Is this an ILX first diss of Frank Turner? I'd never heard of him until last year but DJ Mencap had him nailed 4 years ago.
