GIG GUIDE // SEPT<br />
GIG OF THE MONTH: RODDY WOOMBLE<br />
Scottish Indie-rock giants Idlewild have enjoyed<br />
much cult success since their conception in the midnineties,<br />
likened by NME to ‘the sound of a flight of<br />
stairs falling down a flight of stairs’. But some recent<br />
years of the band sitting on the backburner have<br />
afforded front man Roddy Woomble time to explore<br />
his solo work, which is quite a departure from the<br />
band’s frantic rock. He says ‘Sometimes in Idlewild<br />
I let the music take the centre stage, but with my<br />
own albums the words are where the spotlight falls’.<br />
The release of his eagerly awaited new studio album<br />
The Deluder promises Woomble’s trademark poetic<br />
vocals and gift for a tune. This gig is part of an<br />
extensive tour of the UK. Kelly Hill<br />
