Dalliance.co.uk » 2009 Review http://www.dalliance.co.uk All about music in West Yorkshire but not all music and not all West Yorkshire Thu, 29 Jul 2010 08:22:51 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Another year in Dalliance http://www.dalliance.co.uk/2010/01/another-year-in-dalliance/ http://www.dalliance.co.uk/2010/01/another-year-in-dalliance/#comments Sat, 02 Jan 2010 12:21:32 +0000 Michael Wood http://www.dalliance.co.uk/?p=315 Another year, another set of records, gigs and downloady things to enjoy. Predictably were lurve the Blue Roses album and give it the title Dalliance Album of 2009 while the combination of Everything But The Marine Girl Tracey Thorne and the brilliance of Jens Lekman on a The Magnetic Fields track proved irresistible for our track of 2009.

There is no gig of the year though. Maxïmo Park stood out in Leeds as did Morrissey but the year of gigging was too often one of disappointment going to "big gigs" and ending the night feeling like cattle.

So gig of the year - such as it is goes to Goldheart Assembly in Blackburn's Live Lounge and to Swimwear Juniors, The Crookes and The Lazy Darlings in Leeds and to Theoretical Girl in Bradford's 1 in 12 club where small groups or people went to see small groups and it did not cost the Earth and the bands did their stuff with pride.

More power to that collective elbow, more of those gigs in 2010.

Enjoy and thank you, kindly thank you, for reading.
