Live Review: No Sinner @ Black Heart.

No Sinner’s only performance in London created a buzz among the people who came down for their one night only show. Playing songs from their new album Boo Hoo Hoo as well as covers the venue may have been small but that didn’t stop people flooding to watch this band play and the only disappointment was that eventually they had to end.

This is their first time in London I don’t think anyone knew quite what to expect but once they began it felt as though they they had gigged here countless times before and had gained a following of loyal fans.

Not knowing the reaction they would get in-between songs Colleen joked with the audience ‘its dark and I cant see your face’s, maybe that’s a good thing’. However everyone in the room had a smile on their face and were fixed on watching the band play their music.

The performance was lively, with great guitar solo’s and flawless vocals. Singing covers they showed that they can make any song their own with a twist which are likely to be just as good as the originals. This is a band that excel live being able to transfer the energy they have on stage to the crowd and to really get them involved in the music.

Opening the set with their cover of Work Song the crowd was already captured by the bands stage presence and Colleen Rennison’s performance. Playing a range of their different songs from the slow vocal driven Rise up to the more up beat Boo Hoo Hoo. Each song was a crowd pleaser which left them asking for one more song.

Finishing with a cover of Cheryl Dilcher’s All Woman the band left the venue on a high showing London why they are one of the most exciting young bands to come out of Canada at the moment.

Good Grief, Bastille Show No Bad Blood At The O2 Arena

Tonight was a night of reflection. Of celebration. Fifteen years in, Bastille sound as good, and appeal to more people than ever. The fourth time the London band have played the biggest arena in the capital and they feel at home on this stage this size, with their visuals, their anthems and their devout relationship with their fans, they belong here.

“Are we having a nice time so far? Are we getting a bit warmer?” Amy Macdonald grins, peering out at a Hammersmith Apollo audience bundled into coats and scarves. It’s a question that becomes a running joke throughout the night — because despite the November chill and the decidedly frugal heating, Macdonald sets about warming the 5,000-capacity venue the only way she knows how: with humour, heart, and a powerhouse performance that leaves no seat unshaken.

Never Mind A Wet Night In Stoke, Bad Nerves Made The Best Of A Cold Tuesday Night At The O2 Institute Birmingham

Bad Nerves rolled into theBad Nerves tonight armed with a setlist built for chaos, and although the room was a little quieter than expected, the people who were there lit the place up. A smaller Tuesday night crowd didn’t dull the spark – instead it made the gig feel like a secret show shared only between the band and the diehards. And the band fed off it.
