“Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can’t believe impossible things.'”
So, that was the first Six Impossible Things. Showing that whether you try or not, whether you believe, impossible things happen anyway. We all made something from nothing last night and it was marvellous.
When we announced Six Impossible Things we said that in some ways it felt like the simplest, most obvious way to put on a live music night if you don’t run a venue and in others it felt like a hugely ambitious and slightly ridiculous concept. But it was one we believed in – the idea of being all about the music while also being about the community that creates and loves it.
It was definitely a community vibe last night – Reckless Yes might have started this but last night wouldn’t have happened without lots of people supporting it and pulling together. So, here’s a hi-five for all of you:
- everyone who came to the gig. You turned out on a school night to take a chance on a new thing in town. You were generous with your time, your good vibes and your money. We love you for that.
- the venue – Good Green Cafe said a somewhat reckless yes to letting us use their space but it turned out to be the perfect setting for our first party
- the bands – amazing sets from four awesome bands made up of lovely people (see links to their music below).
If you want to keep the good times going then here’s a few things you can do:
- go and buy some music or merch from one of the bands
- go and read our Zine and read all about them and some other bands we think you’ll like
- tune in to Pete’s show The Rumble on Radio Andra each Tuesday night from 8pm
- follow or like Louder Than War, or pick up a copy of the magazine from WHSmith
- keep supporting Good Green Cafe – they were very cool to let us come and use their space so drop in for a coffee when you’re passing.
Six Impossible Things will return to Derby on Thursday 14 July 2016.
