I was thrilled to see Justin Currie wrote the following words on Symphony Hall’s website to promote their return to Birmingham’s finest venue tonight: “Del Amitri first played the Birmingham Symphony Hall on July the 13th 1992, just a year after it officially opened. You could still smell the paint, and it all seemed a […]

Album Review Gabrielle – Under My Skin
I have always felt there is an honesty and humanity in Gabrielle’s work that makes it stand out from the manufactured pop that floods the airwaves. It has been a bright light twinkling in a sea of mediocrity for the last three decades. Gabrielle also is an artist who doesn’t feel like she needs to […]
Gabrielle @ 02 Institute 8 August 2018
Gabrielle is an icon. She has forged her own path since first breaking the charts in the early 90’s and she has consistently achieved this under her own terms. Gabrielle has co-written all her songs and been enormously successful with them; she is not a front or a vehicle for someone else’s talent.. she is […]
Mad Caddies @ o2 Institute 1st August, 2018
You would to be hard-pushed to find anyone that would argue against the fact that ska music is perfect for the summer months and sunny weather. With the UV rays pounding and that trumpet sound blaring there’s nothing better. Well, unless the beers flowing. And with that in mind it was to the O2 Institute […]
John Prine + John Moreland @ Town Hall 3rd August 2018
During any performance, both the artist, and the audience, will hopefully find themselves removed from thought, completely lost in the moment. It is only afterwards, likely on the journey homeward, or in the next few days after the show, that the temporary muting of the mind will cease and find itself in a more reflective […]
James – Living in Extraordinary Times
There aren’t many people who haven’t heard of james. The legendary Manchester band have been on the indie scene since the early 80s after signing to the legendary Factory Records label; and their early 90s iconic tracks are still sing-a-long anthems and floor fillers to this day. Over the course of the last 4 decades, […]
Employed To Serve @ Slade Rooms, 24th July 2018
It would seem that recently Wolverhampton has slowly began to fall from the touring schedule map, perhaps due to the renovation of the Civic Hall taking up most of the venues time. However on Tuesday evening there was a shining beacon amongst the gloom with Employed To Serve performing their album ‘The Warmth Of A […]
Del Amitri with Trashcan Sinatras @ Symphony Hall, 23 July 2018
I was thrilled to see Justin Currie wrote the following words on Symphony Hall’s website to promote their return to Birmingham’s finest venue tonight: “Del Amitri first played the Birmingham Symphony Hall on July the 13th 1992, just a year after it officially opened.

2000 Trees Festival 2018 – Day Three
Our reviewer has made it to Day three. Hot days, sleepless nights, its been a non stop whirlwind. His highlights of day three: 1. Haggard Cat After seeing their set on Thursday on the roof of a bar then I thought it was only fair to check out their main stage set. Totally worth it. […]
2000 Trees Festival 2018 – Day Two
After a stunning first day at 2000 Trees Festival our photographer/reviewer Neale was ready for a full day on ay two. His highlights include 1. Holding Absence I’ve caught this up and coming gem of a band a few times before. From the very start lead singer Lucas is getting about all over the stage, […]
2000 Trees Festival – Day One
Back at it again. 2000 Trees is proving to be a little gem of a festival, with increasingly bigger names booked over the last few years, it’s a good way to kick off the summer season in true festival fashion, while being surrounded by gems of up and coming great bands. It’s proved to be […]
Barn on the Farm Sunday 8th July, 2018
We have made it, the final day of Barn on the Farm. After numerous insanely impressive sets stretching the past two days and after many sweaty hours we wake up to a stifling hot morning, lulled awake by the sound check nearby. Today, like the other days, promises to be an exciting day searching out […]
Barn on the Farm Saturday 7th July, 2018
As the weekend fans filled the campground, fans present for the intimate sessions at Barn on the Farm were emerging from their tents. Weary from a day or two of music, the energy was revived as the newcomers bounded in jovially. As the sun beat down, persistent in its punishment of heat, the stages opened […]
Barn on the Farm Friday 6th July, 2018
Nestled outside of the hustle and bustle of Gloucester, Barn on the Farm is a magical little festival that brings the best and brightest acts to its four stages. Unearthing rising talent, the festival has captured headliners like Ed Sheeran, Ben Howard, and Tom Odell before their stars burned bright. A familial touch the festival […]
