As angry clouds of volcanic ash sweep across the country from our dear friends in Iceland (presumably in part-payment for the £400 gazillion they owe us?), an (at times) equally angry Kate Nash is doing likewise, bringing her all new Riot Grrrrllllllllll act to the Hairy Hounds. I can’t believe it’s been three years since [...]

John Mayer @ Wolverhampton Civic Hall – 19th January 2010
Being a big John Mayer fan for a long time it was a great pleasure to be able to finally get to one of his gigs. The anticipation had set in earlier in the day and I was “up for it”. Awesome seats, 3rd row middle balcony gave a great view of the stage. I’ve [...]
