Black Midi at The Workman’s Club – Review

There’s a huge amount of hype around fledgling Selhurst outliers Black Midi, with an old-fashioned word-of-mouth hurricane having swept firstly around South London and eventually throughout the UK and across the Irish Sea to The Workman’s Club. Black Midi have the blessings of indie darlings such as Shame, who christened them as being “disturbingly brilliant”.

The quartet arrived in Ireland with the announcement that Rough Trade had won the similarly old-fashioned record label scrum to sign the quartet – their only release to date, a 12” vinyl, selling hand over fist at the merch table as people realised it would soon become a possible collector’s item.

It was unsurprising then that the likes of Girl Band, Feather Beds and Myles Manley were amongst a musician-heavy audience of inquisitive souls from the kookier side of Irish music circles assembled to see what all the fuss across the water is about. After all, all we have to go on ahead of tonight’s performance is some poor-quality YouTube clips and a smattering of tunes on SoundCloud. For all and sundry, this was very much a step into the unknown.
