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…
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…
Headline act Hot Wax went through the ringer a bit last night but it only made the crowd love them more. Eatboys, Wonderlux and Citi Dog all ploughed through their sets, then the gremlins hit. They take to the stage and singer Tallulah Sim-Savage had no mike, after a minute of so of screaming in…
