Live Review: George Ezra
George Ezra Mountfall Hall, Liverpool University, 9th November 2018 Words: Daniel Burton Photography: Gary Lambert On a miserable wet cold Friday night, we went to see George Ezra play the Liverpool Guild of Students.

Live Review: Sam Fender – Liverpool
Sam Fender 6th November, The Shipping Forecast Liverpool Words: Elena Katrina Photos: Gary Lambert I’ve seen Sam Fender play live about 7 times now this year and none of them, until now, have been a headline show.

First Aid Kit Liverpool Guild of Students, 24 October 2018 Photos & Words: Gary Lambert First Aid Kit Beautiful.

Live Review: Sisteray – Liverpool
Sisteray The Jacaranda Club, 12 October 2018 Words & Photos: Gary Lambert Every legendary band has a tale which may or may not be true about playing a gig to just the barman or old Bill who drank in the pub every night of his life from aged 7. Which sounds cool, but I … Continue reading
LIVE REVIEW: Spring King – Newcastle
Spring King Newcastle, 20th September 2018 Words: Samantha Sadler It’s so amazing to watch a band grow from support act to show headliners and I feel like I’ve pretty much been on this journey with Spring King.

Live Review: Hippo Campus – London
Hippo Campus London, 23rd August 2018 Words & Photos: Luke Pettican As soon as you walked into Omeara’s delightfully styled main room, you could sense the raging excitement in the air.

Live Review: Jordan Allen – Liverpool
Jordan Allen Zanzibar, Liverpool Words: Cat Lewis Photos: Fi Carroll Having been a spectator at many a This Feeling gig I knew the line up for tonight would not disappoint.

Live Review: Mint – Liverpool
Mint Liverpool, 20th May 2018 Words: Gary Lambert Photos: Fi Carroll The first band up of the evening were Monks, a distinctly loud and local presence with which to start the heart of the gig.

Live Review: Island – Liverpool
Island Buyers Club, Liverpool, 14th May 2018 Words & Photos: Gary Lambert The enjoyment that a gig generates is not simply based on the performance of the band(s) on stage, but rather a more complicated mixture of performance, venue, personal mood, and behaviour of your fellow audience members. If any one of these aspects can … Continue reading
Live Review: Black Honey – Cardiff
Black Honey The Globe Cardiff, 13th May 2018 Words: Lewis Rogers Photos: Isaac Griffiths I’ve been following Black Honey’s music ever since they dropped their Bloodlust EP way back in 2014.

Live Review: The Charlatans – Northwich
The Charlatans Northwich Memorial Court, 14th May 2018 The Charlatans have put together a festival and it’s a pretty decent offering, especially as they are the only headline – every day, well almost every day, for a week. The festival North by Northwich, features an exhibition, DJ sets, after parties, a mini-conference with Sound City, and … Continue reading
Live Review: Marsicans – Manchester
Marsicans Words: Joe Cockburn Photos: Georgia Flynn Snow had obliterated gigs across the country in early March, but buoyed by a week of seeing the absolutely epic Everything Everything twice, a much more intimate but equally as grand setting of Manchester’s Deaf Institute welcomed Marsicans on their (almost) sold-out UK tour – “damn you Glasgow,” … Continue reading
Live Review: Shame – Manchester
Shame Manchester, Gorilla, 13th April 2018 Words: Caleb Curtis If Whitworth Street West in Manchester didn’t know who Shame were by the start of the night, they certainly did by the end. With attitudes that spoke as loud as their blistering sound, Gorilla itself appeared to be shaking at the foundations, as the young band cavorted their way through … Continue reading
