Little May The Games Room, Leeds, October 10th 2015 Words: Julia Grantham Back at The Brudenell Social Club last Saturday night in Leeds -a venue which is fast becoming my second home, I found myself in ‘The Games Room’ for the Little May gig.

Clean Cut Kid The Shipping Forecast, Liverpool, 29th July 2015 Words: Gary Lambert Live Photos: Gaz Jones Support band Lying B’stards kept to their name by performing fifteen minutes later than their advertised start time.

Live Review: Snow Apple – London
Snow Apple Old Blue Last, London, 8th July 2015 Words: Nick Jacques To be honest with you – I wasn’t expecting any fireworks before this gig. All I knew of the band Snow Apple prior to the show were that they were a folk band from Amsterdam. The Folk music market can feel a bit … Continue reading
Live Review: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Manchester
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club The Albert Hall, Manchester, June 29th 2015 I hadn’t considered the fact that it would still be daylight outside when BRMC took to the stage in The Albert Hall.

ALMA Watch the video for To The Stars (Live Session at Hillside Studios) here: It takes an awful lot for a track like this to capture my heart, I get sent so many and so many just don’t do it for me, until ALMA came along with this perfect piece of ambient and ethereal music … Continue reading

Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats The Deaf Institute Manchester, June 21st 2015 Words: Gary Lambert The last time I heard of Nathaniel Rateliffe he was playing quite serious, somber music, which, to be fair, wasn’t exactly the chilled out evening’s entertainment I thought I needed on a boring Sunday night. Instead though Nathaniel and … Continue reading
Live Review: The Beach – London
The Beach Electrowerkz London, 9th June 2015 Words: Lauren Grigor I was super excited to see The Beach at Electrowerkz after I wasn’t able to see him at TGE this year.

Live Review: FEMME – London
FEMME Lexington in London 29th April 2015 Words: Lauren Grigor Before seeing FEMME live I wondered how her style and sound would translate on stage.

Live Review: Jaws – London
Jaws March 4th, Heaven, London Words: Lauren Grigor I walk in under the arches to a venue full of teens and a band on stage who are right into their 7:30 stage time. Not ideal as The Vestals are clearly a band who would benefit from a rowdier and more engaged crowd. They pull off … Continue reading
