This is one of those corporate things which normally we’d shy away from acknowledging – part of Vodafone’s ‘Live Music Campaign,’ according to their press release. Yes, press release: even they have the humility to write ‘secret gig’ in ironic inverted commas. Yet since it’s a chance to see Maximo Park for free on the Friday of 8th Week, we thought it worth a look: an end of term indulgence, or even one last pre-exam fling for those with Prelims in 9th.
The ‘competition’ simply requires you to register your details at www.vodafone.co.uk/music – hardly a Faustian pact. Get lucky, and you get to see a tight and surprisingly heavy live act pushing their actually rather brilliant second album as if their record deal depended on it (funny, that) in some unlikely venue. Rad Cam anyone?
