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…
A Wednesday night in Bristol, Johnny Marr with Gaz Coombes in support, two main acts, like a someone you really want to meet that has no surname, just two first names. A 2 hour drive followed by queuing in light rain, thanks O2 priority for putting their priority queue out in the elements, it wasn’t…
It’s 1994 and a man that is brutally murdered, comes back to life as an undead avenger to seek retribution for his and his fiancée’s murder accompanied by an epic soundtrack!! Sound familiar, yes it was The Crow! A cultural phenomenon, a tragic story, a myth, a legend, a perfectly created vision of the original…
The Bends was released ‘on this day’ March 15th 1995 I’ve seen a number of posts today about Radiohead’s album, some with the attached question, “What’s your favourite track on the album?” This was one of those albums you just bought straight away without hesitation, it was a must have but to be honest at…

I’ve just seen a post on Facebook that asked the question “What movie has the best song?” Yes ill admit it’s clickbait, 1600+ people had responded as the page was music based, seemed busy and inoffensive or to put it another way, not going to steal you life and soul, otherwise known as entire social…
It’s The Farm, they are back, they never went away fro me but they are back! If you have had your head under a musical rock you may not know that Let the Music (Take Control) came out on 1st Feb 2024, the new single by the Liverpool based band The Farm. A great feel-good…
Why The Fantastic Four? Ok maybe I’ve misappropriated/stole a phrase but simply put it was a one night, four bands. Four bands I felt lucky to see perform, four bands that could have been the headline act! Four bands now firmly in my Spotify playlists. No disrespect to the Clause who definitely did deserve to…
