This morning I started to receive emails from record shops regarding ‘National Album Day‘ as apparently it returns on October 19th 2024 for its seventh year of existence and this year they have decided the theme is going to be ‘Great British Groups’. It is also teaming with what it calls a ‘broadcast partner’ in…
Just putting this out there as I found it interesting as an experiment. I’ve been experimenting with Ai imagery for a long time now as part of my day to day work and i’m looking forward to Ai video once it reaches a good standard, it may have somewhere but not where I have been…
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…

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…
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…
45th Anniversary UK Tour to celebrate the 45th anniversary of both the ‘Replicas’ (1979 as Tubeway Army) and ‘The Pleasure Principle’ (1979). Its going old school! I drove down the coast to Boscombe to the O2 Academy as I’ve done more times than I can remember, starting back in 1991 when it was just the Academy in…
