Review of Marisa And The Moths (Acoustic)
Marisa And The Moths are always awesome and this was a two hour + set of the kind they have been delivering regularly as livestreams since the first lockdown. The set was a mix of their own brilliant material and various cover-songs, which are familiar to their livestream viewers. The big surprise tonight though, was a cover of The Pogue's 'Fairytale Of New York', with the hilarious addition of a kazoo in some parts of the song. This was a great opportunity to see the band creating the livestream experience in a venue.

Purple Turtle venue information
So a new Turtle was born in Gun Street, Reading, followed by equally popular Turtles in Islington, then Oxford and Camden.
At the Purple Turtle you can look as deranged or as sensible as you want - there are no boring bastards threatening to eject you for not sporting sensible shoes or home-knit cardigans! You can wear anything from silly hats to chains through your scrotum. And what makes the Turtles even more special is that everyone enjoys themselves because they can be themselves! No airs, graces and tedious people telling you you've drunk too much. It's all peace, love and harmony, with chunks of alcoholic oblivion and loud music thrown in.
So to find out what's going down in your local Turtle, click on the location buttons. We'll regularly be updating the gossip, photos and video clips so you can keep in touch with what's really happening where it matters. And have a bloody good laugh at the same time!
