Benefits - Stockton

[@FeelGuerre]

Along with the video about Middlesbrough, this is in the middle of my favourites bar. I keep watching it whenever I need inspiration to write. It’s such a soothing and at the same time unnerving experience to watch. I love it.

Makes me nostalgic as fuck being in love with the UK since being a teen but being born in shitty Switzerland… when I see what is happening over there right now…well… it breaks my heart. Much love and courage.

I was gigging in NE volume the other night, and Benefits were playing up the road at KU Bar. Got given a spare ticket at the last minute, so had to hotfoot it up the road and made it just in time for the start of their set. So fucking good man.

[@Benefitstheband]

Thanks so much John! Hope your gig went well at NE Vol too.

[@thatbloodyjohnloader2826]

@@Benefitstheband it certainly did. Top night.

No mention of Peppermint Park ?

[@Tony-vf9zu]

Another video about isn't teesside brilliant

[@Benefitstheband]

Indeed Tony. We were asked to make it by BBC6 as they were recording a show from Kubar as part of Independent Venue Week. It's how Peter Doherty got to hear of us and how eventually we recorded a song together, which ironically enough is how you got to hear of us, which is why you write numerous comments on our videos - even on Christmas Day. Hope you had a nice xmas and have a wonderful new year.

[@Tony-vf9zu]

@Benefitstheband bbc6 isn't anything Unless you mean 6music? I was unfortunately aware before the PD feature

[@Tony-vf9zu]

@Benefitstheband even on Christmas day?

[@Benefitstheband]

@Tony-vf9zu aye. Unless it was a different Tony that left a few comments here, maybe it was. I honestly don’t care, enjoy your Christmas.

[@Tony-vf9zu]

@Benefitstheband is there a problem with commenting on Christmas?

[@gigteevee6118]

Very interesting, never knew about its music scene, (apart from you), not just steam trains to somewhere else…definitely time to branch out into noise punk documentary genre 👍

[@homedinners]

Benefits would have been great on the same bill as The Fall.

[@kennethguitarfiend4493]

That would have been a dream… damn you, as if I am not missing Mark almost every day since I lost him… 😅 just taking the piss mate, totally agree with your thought.

[@Tony-vf9zu]

Is this a song?

[@sputnikbaz]

We don't say "duck" in Leeds, Kingsley. That's for the southerners in Chesterfield and the like 😉

[@carls7860]

Haha all those music venues..🤗 come to Carlisle and see how bad it is here... the least culture per square mile of any city in the UK...

[@rickyfittz]

Nice video. I came to London 20 years ago and we’re thinking of moving up North to Teesside, Darlington, Durham area. Wondering how we going to adjust, are we going to like it up there? 🤔🥹
