Always good to see the dodge brothers are making their way up in the world. Soon, it'll be a half full Albert Hall, and then...who knows. Maybe an almost full one!



Anywho, good to see you guys having fun and playing some nice tunes as well. Good luck with the baby Ali! :)

Mistreating a classical instrument in The Royal Albert Hall...?

...it would have served you right if you'd given yourself a hernia.



(I am, of course, as jealous as hell.)

Wow, one of your skiffle videos wasn't blocked in my country for once. You guys actually play pretty well, even!



Awesome blog, love how excited you all look. Congrats on the gig (and extra congrats to the gentleman that had the baby)!

Wow! First and foremost, Congrats to Ali!

Nice job Dodge Bros, I wonder was it the biggest gig you've ever done? Mark, I thought you were gonna do a Pete Townsend with your double bass for a minute :D

Ali - Rock. And. Roll. Now go home to your baby!

HELLO CLEVELAND! I presume the visual references to Spinal Tap were intentional!

Well that certainly put a smile on my dial. Great to see a bunch of nice blokes having such a great time. You lot have contributed to the sum of human happiness. Congratulations Ali, and the rest of you dodge brothers as well.

Blogging on a strike day.

Nice one, sounds like it was a fun gig. I must try and get to see Dodge Brothers soon.



Any London gigs coming up before Christmas?

Oh, I've also now found out that I can download podcasts to my kindle so I've downloaded the last 2 kermode and mayo podcasts that I haven't had time to listen to on my computer because I've been too damn busy. I'm off on holiday to Thailand so I'll have 3 hours of kermode and mayo to listen to in transit. Excellent.

There was a time when Mark's film reviews on the blog were not accessible to me in Australia but recently someone has apparently said the magic words and I can view them. Good on the beeb for allowing more international access.

Looking good up there boys.....Loved the acoustics in a half full Albert Hall suited your sounds perfectly. Ali well done on the new arrival, for once I'm sure Queen Victoria would have been amused....;-)

Why when buying The Dodge Brothers - Louisa & The Devil from Amazon is the #1 similar recommendation - Bohemian Rhapsody - by the Queen and the Muppets?

I love The Dodge Brothers. I just bought Louisa & The Devil. My favorite songs are No.9 Train and God's First Commandment. When is the second album coming out Mark?

I was there too!! My wife at some point said: hey, that guy looks like Mark kermode... Hahaha. And it was you!

Great warm up gig! Loved the concert afterwards too by the way, though it was probably a bit too long and some of their choices were really weird.

I was hoping to see you at the BOND concert a few days ago (at the Royal Albert Hall too, by the way), but sadly you were not there.

Sounded good matey.

@Alina: Ah, so that's what happened. Great to know that somebody is listening on the other end. :) Have a nice holiday.

Hey, I was at that! I'd forgotten it was your skiffles. It was great, btw.

skiffletainment at its most skiffletaining

lol I just realised that one of my lecturers at Southampton Uni is in this band! I'm totally bringing this up at monday's lecture!

Great to see the Dodge Brothers at the Albert Hall.



Hope I get the opportunity to see the band live one day on my next UK trip. Skiffle rules!

I must be in there somewhere.



I remember people coming in wondering earth what was going on and then tapping their feet within seconds.



You rule, as does the album.
