Snow Patrol + Kodaline @ Arena Birmingham, 25 January, 2019
It’s been a while since Snow Patrol toured and a sold out Arena beckons them back to Birmingham. There are two supports tonight, unfortunately I miss the first due to the combination of traffic and Friday, these are the bands that could be the next Snow Patrol and it frustrates me to miss them. I’m […]
Madness @ Arena Birmingham, 15 December 2018
Formed in 1976 Madness have survived a break up, a change of direction and a Margaret Thatcher inspired sitcom written by Ben Elton.

Manic Street Preachers @ Arena Birmingham, 27 April 2018
Heading into Birmingham tonight for Manic Street Preachers couldn’t have been any smoother. I’ve never driven down that awful stretch of M6 and got to the venue without any signs of intense traffic or delays so that’s a first. On walking to the Arena I was a little disheartened to find just a couple of […]
