Waking up to a wet Saturday morning, I checked the forecast on the mobile that showed the rain stopping about 3pm. We decided to not rush in to give the skies a chance to clear as we’d be there until 11pm so a soaking didn’t sound fun. Heading for the Castle Stage today, missed Tors…
A glorious day in the sunshine, we didn’t get there too early so missed the early bands with the intention of making it there for The Snuts. Anyone who went will know they were substituted last minute for The Sherlocks but a great swap as they gave a superb hour of guitar based indie rock…
We flew in from the Canaries the morning of Bludfest on a 2 hour delayed flight literally wheels on the ground at 2.18am, drove home, walked dogs, got to sleep at 6.15-ish then drove to Milton Keynes for 2pm via a Vinted pickup of a T-Shirt ordered while I was away to join the Bludfest…
Last night, the 23rd of July, Kasabian hit the South Coast of the UK promoting their new album Happenings. Bournemouth to be precise at the O2 Academy in Boscombe. A venue steeped in history, opening in 1895 as The Grand Pavillion Theatre. During the 60s and early 70s, it was a music venue, hosting acts…
A treat in store it certainly was! The Fink In-store finally came around, I say it that way as when you’re a kid, and possibly an adult and looking forward to something it seems a lot further away and an eternity to arrive. The Fink in-store at Vinilo is Southampton was exactly like that. Got…
He thanked the crowd for bringing the sun, but i’d say he had something to do with it! Hozier is a performer, no strings (apart from the cello and violin player) attached, he just want to get up on stage, play guitar and sing, surrounded by great musicians. And that is what he did. To…
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…
