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…
The title to this post may make no sense but the night did. Twin Skeletons is a four piece originating from Bath are on their first headline tour. Their bio “Their sonically diverse music provides an intriguing and addictive new sound to the current alternative rock scene as it serves a large range from singalong…
Dangerous to my ears maybe, loud! But a case of who cares, they were headlining a small tour and loving every minute. A great band I follow, great songs, great melodies, just a great balance of sound which when given a live stage is amplified, in a great way! Gloves are off, the melodic guitar…
Went in cold (metaphorically as only had a quick Spotify listen on the way there), came out with a playlist, signed record and a plus ticked on my Spotify. They were a great live act that im pleased i’ve seen. Towards the end he said “we’ve only got two songs left, these will be high…
Met these lads last year after a day of music, I walked into the Joiners in Southampton and for me they owned the day / night. It wasn’t a competition but when you stand back and reflect on your day, they stood out by a mile. Dates haven’t lined up for gigs since but this…

Ok, this vinyl is not that hard to track down but a 1991 vinyl release is still 33 years of wear and tear you hope is not visible to your eyes and ears when you click buy. This time its ‘Congratulations’ by Jefferson Airhead, later to become Airhead, the previous name chosen as a parody…
Legendary, Mancunian rock group Puressence are performing a huge hometown show at the Albert Hall on Saturday 29th June 2024, their first live date in over 11 years! I cannot remember exactly when or how I discovered this band, it is a distant memory, so I know I have been a fan for a long time. It…
A Wednesday night in Bristol, Johnny Marr with Gaz Coombes in support. A 2 hour drive followed by queuing in light rain, thanks O2 priority for putting their priority queue out in the elements, it wasn’t even a light mist really by that point really. The setlist The Encore I almost feel that I need…
I saw lucky enough too see Gaz Coombes recently on March 14th of this year perform a one man show to a small audience in Southampton. This time there was a band, a five piece band, the same but different!. My image but sadly not my setlist. Gaz Coombes came onstage and had roughly 45…
