An intimate venue for a outstore for a band this good in support of their latest album, ‘The Last Flight’, just released on the 4th of October. Following on from past albums by focusing on moments in history such as the space race or climbing Everest. The Last Flight focuses on and musically charts the…
No, I’m not a Fresher but wouldn’t miss a chance to catch up with Stig and Dead Man’s Pistol. We came across them back in May 2023 at their first gig also at The Railway and been friends since so supporting their rise is important. I believe this was a Freshers week event organised by…
A must for any vinyl collector and everyone’s streaming service just got a little better! Released in 2003, Boomslang is the only album by Johnny Marr + The Healers. The band consisted of Zak Starkey, drummer for the Who and son of Beatle drummer Ringo Starr. Bass guitar provided by former Kula Shaker bassist Alonza…
Gary Stringer from Reef is touring a solo acoustic set so it’s only fitting the support mirrors the style and setup. The support for this gig remained unannounced for some time until Rob Clamp was mentioned on socials. I’ve always been a big fan and champion of support acts but also, hopefully like to be…
Before the days out I need to give kudos to a favourite album of the latter 90s. Released on the 5th of September 1995, Jollification is one of those perfect albums that can just lift your spirits no matter what. Id been a fan since ‘The Life of Riley’ was released in 1992 and this…

Outdoor Southampton Summer Sessions are running for a number of days / weeks sponsored…
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…
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…
