Hi-De-Hi!
Every Wednesday lunchtime I find myself sitting here, at my cluttered desk, wondering how to kickstart the Gigwatcher with some witty anecdote or a piece of dumb information. Some weeks inspiration comes swiftly, other weeks it takes awhile.
This week falls into the latter category.
I've sat here, mused on going off on one about the tickets to Kasabian that I "won" (but didn't really, it was one of those "the first 700 people get in" deals) or the Arctic Monkeys giving their Mercury winnings to charity (and I don't mean their ex-bass player), before deciding I might as well just get on with it. So, eyes down for a full house..

Yes, Jack Black and Kyle Gass are inbound; hopefully he won't phone it in like he did at the VMAs last week :o) The above gigs will be added onto the SoMC Events Calendar when I get a spare five minutes; there they'll join all the other gigs I find out about in my pootlings across the interweb, a selection those in the next week follows:

To check what else is coming our way all you need do is register on the forum. Once registered you can interrogate the Events Calendar to your hearts content.
Don't forget that Brannigan's Law, featuring the irrepressible Ant Shue on rhythm guitar, return to Unit 22 in Southampton on Monday 18th September. If you want a listen beforehand then streaming demos are available on their MySpace.
The Everyman cancer charity is running its fourth annual Tacheback campaign this month, and some of the SoMC are proudly growing Chopper-esque facial hair (although Brett's is going a bit Errol Flynn). More information, including a link to some photos showing the progress of those involved, can be found here.
And that's about it for this week.. time flies when you're having fun eh?
