(Sunday) Xpress yourself...

Sunday Xpress returns this week (on Sunday surprisingly enough) with two named acts – Derrick D and the Back Bones and the mighty Miss Halliwell – and an open mic slot too which all kicks off at 4pm June 1st (Adam & Eve, Bradford Street, Digbeth). How civilised eh? Just in time for cucumber sarnies and a nice drop of Earl Grey...or Stout and peanuts in my case. I have it on good authority that Miss Halliwell are promising a pretty much BRAND NEW set, written and rehearsed in a manic period of activity over the past few weeks, which is frankly bonkers but indicative of the band’s seemingly relentless sense of ambition. One day the world will wake up to the raving genius that is Mr Miles Perhower but until then I guess we've got him and his band all to ourselves. Here's an old Halliwell classic to get you in the mood...

...and here's a more recent one...although don't go expecting either. What they'll come up with next is anyone's guess...
