I dropped in to see Pentire on what was the penultimate show of their tour on a sold out evening at Heartbreakers in Southampton. If you don’t know Heartbreakers it’s a small 100 capacity independent venue almost no stage so you’re eye to eye with the band and it gets hot and loud, perfect! Online…
The Clause are on tour promoting their first album release, ‘Victim Of A Casual Thing’ which has gone top 20 in the album charts and No.1 in the indie charts and it is well deserved. I first saw The Clause at The Chalk in Brighton three years ago as the first support act before for…
Reef stopped off in Southampton at The 1865 on their 30th Anniversary Tour of the album Replenish, yes 30 years ago. An English rock band, sometimes called at the time surf rock, originally from Glastonbury with founder members Gary Stringer on vocals and Jack Bessant on bass, now with Amy Newton on guitar and Luke…
It was a swift ticket grab when the notification popped up that Senser were coming to town, to be honest it’s just as swift if it’s a couple of hours away like the last two times in Bristol. Always a great show put on by a band I’ve been listening to since I first heard…
Last night we went to The Joiners in Southampton to see Only the Poets for their ‘Going back to where it began’ tour. The first of two shows on the evening. I had heard good things about them so thought I’d go and see for myself. Only the Poets are an English band from Reading…

I’m not going to deny it, I went in tonight uninformed, I went in having Spotifyed (is that a verb?) the first few tracks and thinking ‘YES’ I want to see this band! I mentioned it online on ‘X’ to which Rough Trade answered “We Love Bodega!” As I sat there thinking how did I…
For us it was round 2, if you follow this blog you’ll know we did Knox Hill and friends in Brighton a couple of weeks ago (link here) and thought we’d head up to Bristol for another bite. This time at the Exchange in Old Market Street in Bristol, a great small venue with an…
