I’ve a friend who has paid as lot and even travelled internationally to see Pearl Jam over the years, even though he hasn’t particularly loved any recent albums. I asked why and he always says that they were just a […]

Live at MWAH Studios is a digital-only live EP that perfectly bridges Blue Rose Code’s first and second albums (the excellent North Ten and the even better The Ballads of Peckham Rye, respectively). The EP features three previously released songs and three songs from the new […]
I am learning to play the banjo, so a chance to see Dan Wash live couldn’t be missed. I have seen Dan before, opening for Vera van Heeringen last year, and I enjoyed his set but wanted to see him […]
Whether you like The Lone Bellow or not, you can’t deny that they put their heart and soul into playing live. As it happens, I like them very much. I, like many here, bought their debut album online, and it […]

This is the 10th and 11th times I have seen Anais since discovering her in 2007. The first of two shows was in Gateshead on Friday 21 February and the second in Sheffield on Sunday 23 February. Anais was excellent […]

I bought a ticket for this show primarily to see Ross Wilson (Blue Rose Code) again, even though I saw him fewer than 2 weeks ago as part of Celtic Connections 2014. As I said in that review, North Ten’ was […]
I heard George Ezra’s music before I saw him. When I did see him I did the same double take I did the first time I saw Ben Ottewell of Gomez – I expected an older, grizzled, whiskey-drinking bluesman who grew […]
Another excellent show at the Old Cinema Launderette – so predictable *yawn*. The last time I saw Beccy Owen was in 2002 when she launched her first album ‘The Sweetest of Tales from the Bitterest Edge’ with a great show at […]
