I’m sure it was just pure coincidence the Cast played in Southampton the same day that Southampton played Everton at home. There were certainly a lot of Liverpool accents at the gig although John Power is reportedly a passionate Liverpool fan so I very much doubt it. The band took to the stage to a…
In 2023, 125 grassroots music venues in the UK closed for good. The places where so many great bands are play and sometimes start their ascent just simply having a hard time keeping their door open. This news is not new and the reason why events such as Independent Venue Week exist. That event which is the UK’s…
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…
So Alan White has teased joining the Oasis 2025 tour? There is a lot of speculation on who the lineup will be? Bonehead has been announced which was no surprise since he’s been playing with Liam Gallagher on the Definitely Maybe 30th Anniversary Tour over the last year plus he was the original member of…
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…

So it’s over for another year, NO, I was not lucky enough to go but I will admit that even though I cannot attend I do look at the full lineups and create a fake plan just in case by some odd magic I woke up and was there. It was a tough one this…
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…
