A fantastic night of music, Knox Hill, Viktus & Friends and friends at Patterns on a sunny evening in Brighton. I’ve visited a few venues in Brighton but this was the first at Patterns, I believe they have more than one room, tonight was downstairs and what a great small venue for the evening it…
In what was I believe the first gig of the year for Johnny Marr and his long time bandmates, they chose The 1865 in Southampton to warm themselves up for the year ahead. This gig is only a few days before they take to the main stage at The National Bowl in Milton Keynes at…
Tom Meighan just owns it! The second support finished but there was no big rush to reassemble an entire stage, just his guitarist plugging his effects pedals for his semi-acoustic in, a playlist taped down and a fading out of the filler music. His guitarist started playing and with his big trademark sunglasses, black and…
In 2003 we had tickets to see Placebo at Southampton Guildhall, cancelled due to injury which if I remember rightly was tendinitis. 21 years later I finally got to see them, not quite at the Guildhall, literally just outside, close enough. Outdoor Southampton Summer Sessions are running for a number of days / weeks sponsored…
What can I say or write here? Dave Grohl stated at the beginning that he had us for three full hours and he was going to beat us with music. That sums up the night better than I could. He DID, They DID! The best way to explain the night to any Foo Fighters fan,…
You need to live under a musical rock, or would that be a non-musical rock? To not know who Wet Leg are? Hailing not far from me on the Isle of Wight, which may be the reason for more coverage here, but I doubt it, they deserve the attention. Wet Leg’s debut single was “Chaise…
Just putting this out there, I love the support acts so always arrive a bit early as you never know who you might see, obviously you know the name but that name in a couple of years’ time could mean a very different thing. So, I support them! I’ve been aware of Shame for a…
Yes it’s an easy title to this post seeing as I was in the ‘Electric Ballroom’ in Camden but, he was! I didn’t search out set lists from previous gigs I just turned up an hour early to queue as I wanted a close up view and waited. It was my first time at the Electric…
Attitude! Attitude! ATTITUDE! They smiled, they scowled, they sang, they screamed one second as if performing a nursery rhyme then punching the air and contorting like an Alice in Wonderland villain! Maybe it was the white outfits with thick frills and corsets along with the doll like movement choreography that at times made me think…
So I had a free night in London on a work trip and it was obvious what needed to happen, a quick tube ride to Camden and down to the Dublin Castle for some live music. I arrived and got a drink, took a seat and it wasn’t long before I was in conversation with…
