Kelly Jones + The Wind And The Wave – New Theatre, Oxford – September 18th, 2019
It was a new venue for me. I hadn’t been to a gig at the New Theatre before. I had wanted to try and catch a show on the previous leg of the tour in June/July but money was just too tight at that point, and although money is still tight, things are set to…

Glasgow Weekender – Trevor Horn Gig – Saturday, July 27th – Part One
It was going to be a long day. I had set out from home at the ungodly time of 4.30am. Plenty of time to get myself to Luton station for the 5.08 train to St Pancras. That was the theory. The practice was different! I arrived at Luton station around 4.45am. I looked to the…

The Lowe Benchmark

Michael Rother Live Review
I really, really wanted to get to this gig, but money was far too tight. It sounded very good. Perhaps if I am very, very lucky, I may get to see him in Glasgow in September. Fingers crossed! (P.S. Good to see someone use the word “myriad” with grammatical precision.)

From my memory of how the side seats looked when I was there for the Manic Street Preachers/The Anchoress Meltdown gig last June, the seats appeared like they’d give you a pretty good view….

I Need Some Rejuvenation!
Well, the packaging looks amazing. I will invest ASAP. As for last night’s Stranglers gig? I suffered yet ANOTHER fainting spell. I felt unwell about 30 mins into their set. I sat down for a few mins, but was told to get back up for fear I’d be crushed. Bless his cotton socks! JJ saw…
Life In A Day – 40th Anniversary Single Review
We are nearing the release date of Simple Minds’ debut album, Life In A Day. From what I can deduce, Life In A Day – the track itself – was released as a single inline with their first appearance on television when appearing on the Old Grey Whistle Test on March 27th. As that day…
