DIY Is 10: Get Ready For A Month Of Birthday Gigs This September

Most ten year olds want a bike for their birthday, or maybe a game or two for their XBox, but when DIY dons its own ‘I AM 10’ badge later in the year, we’ve decided that instead of the latest Malibu Barbie and/or roller skates, we want GIGS. Lots and lots of gigs. Being the brattish tweenagers that we are, we’re busy making sure we get exactly what we want.

We took a peek at the last ten years worth of reviews to see what we’ve rated over the years, what we still rate now - you know the ones, the records that never leave your turntable, the CD you leave playing in your car stereo for months on end - and we’re very pleased to announce the first of a series of special Birthday Parties.

Cue the fanfare: Jeffrey Lewis will be playing the entirety of ‘A Turn In A Dream-Song’ (which we gave a glowing 9/10 review less than a year ago) especially for us at the Borderline on the 5th September, for the meagre sum of £12 in advance. Tickets are bound to be snapped up fast, so we’d suggest you get yours quick, and don’t forget; we expect you to bring us cake.

But our birthday presents don’t stop there, make sure you watch this space over the coming weeks, we’ve got even more birthday surprises up our sleeves.

We’ll be releasing the ticket link shortly, so watch this space.
