May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Hamish Hawk: Again, it really is of little surprise that Hamish is here on this list as well. He is the artist I saw live the most number of times this year, having ventured to six live events involving him and/or his band. First was on 16 February – my first time seeing him as…
Of course Spotify Wrapped doesn’t really show the true state of the music that I was enjoying, listening to and discovering in 2023. So, I have decided to compile my favourites of 2023, broken up in three posts that I will share over the next three days. First up: My Top 10 Tracks of 2023…
It was another first for me last night. Not seeing The Lemon Twigs themselves. I’ve seen them on two previous occasions. Once at the fantastic Green Man festival in the Brecon Beacons in 2018 and then in the winter of 2019 at the Roundhouse. I had also bought a ticket to see them at St…

I have been looking into various acts that I could either go and see later in the year or who I could see within the next several weeks. The gigs I have coming up are non-existent for April (my one April gig – Sarah Brown in Edinburgh – has been cancelled. Goddamn!) but I do…

The Roundhouse is probably the handiest venue for me currently. A short journey on the Thameslink rail line from Luton to Kentish Town station and then a 20 minute walk from there to the venue. Easy! I arrived early enough, around 7.20pm. Support act Matt Maltese wasn’t due on until 8pm. I found myself stood…

The BEST song ever to exist about a school student chimp retaliating being bullied at school by burning said school down…
I really, really do lve Silent Kiss ???? The only pages I didn’t save were the ones giving me a link to my Top 100 Songs of 2018 playlist – which you’ll find a link to below – and the final “share” page to share your Spotify stats rundown via social media.
I’m still grappling about a trip home. There’s so many elements of it up in the air. Things seem to have calmed a bit back home. Mum is doing okay….in relative terms. My sister is feeling a little better…some tentative good news on the family health front is having her feeling not quite so helpless…
These guys really have been my new find and love over the summer. If it had not been for the Green Man festival and seeing some of their set there, I may not have discovered them. But, boy, am I glad I did! Sadly, at the moment, Brian is off the tour with Arctic Monkeys,…
