If you saw the news this weekend, Kerrang, Kiss, 4Music, Magic and The Box have ceased programming. Back on the 29 January 2024, Channel 4 announced that Kerrang! TV and its sister channels would be closing as part of the future plans of the company leading up to 2030. So that’s it, gone! I missed…
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…
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…

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…
