Ramblers Rock Up For The Darkness At 2019 Ramblin’ Man Fair
Ramblin’ Man Fair, held tucked under the North Downs in picturesque Mote Park, Maidstone, is now in its fifth year and after a rocky (no pun intended) start (original owners of the RMF brand, Team Rock went bust in 2016), the festival has gone from strength to...

Florence + The Machine Welcome Us To The Matriarchy @ BST In Hyde Park
When the sun shines in London, its impact is profound. It stirs glee, happiness, enthusiasm and a real sense of community. For a transient city known for its (often negative) quirks, today it feels like London is far behind us. The annual British Summer Time series in...
The Dylan Young Experience At Hyde Park, London 2019
A joint headline set with Bob Dylan and Neil Young is a rare and valued experience. When this concert was announced last year the buzz in the UK was huge and made bigger headlines when Neil Young refused to play and be associated with corporate giant Barclaycard. So...
Empire Of The Sun Walk The Dream At Brixton
Empire Of The Sun are an unusual proposition, the Australian duo of EDM / indie-pop fusion pioneers Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore appeared like a breath of fresh air in the faux-80’s haze of the late naughties music scene bringing a grand look and design along with...
The Cure Are Just Like Heaven At Glastonbury
The Cure played their first gig on 9th July 1978. So Robert Smith, the group’s sole constant member, knows a thing or two about compiling a set list. But, during the first few songs of the band’s Glastonbury performance, he thought he’d got it all horribly wrong. “For...
The Who: Old Friends In New Places – Moving On! Live At Wembley Stadium
Mention Live Aid and it’s highly likely that the next word you’ll hear is ‘Queen’. Whilst Freddie and the boys undoubtedly won the public vote on that historic day, it’s what happened around an hour or so after they exited that made the event for me. At 8pm, a hastily...
Sunday I’m In Love – With Photos At Glastonbury Festival 2019
Sunday at Glastonbury Festival 2019 promises to be the coolest day of the festival so far. It’s cloudy as I wake in my tent and I put on a thin hoodie as I wander down to grab a coffee. But while the day is cooler, it’s still a warm one out there and the sun...
The Lowdown In Photos From Saturday At Glastonbury Festival 2019
Following a super-hot Friday, Saturday at Glastonbury Festival 2019 is shaping up to be the scorcher of the weekend, but we can’t complain as the alternative is so, so much worse! As we sweat profusely, wait patiently in line for drinking water and find ourselves...
Fantastic Photography From Friday At Glastonbury Festival 2019
With the former Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival (better known these days as Glastonbury Festival) now in its 49th year – and back on this summer following a fallow year during 2018 – the highways & byways, the nooks & crannies, the stages and fields have...
Live Sell The Drama At Shepherd’s Bush Empire
Throwing Copper isn't just Live’s second album. It's the one that put them on the map, by topping the Billboard 200 charts, featuring five singles (including two US #1s), and selling over eight million copies. Now that it’s 25 years old, the band are celebrating with...
All Eyes On The Stoned Crows Blind Launch @ Camden Assembly
Famous for its music scene and its never-ending flow of tourists and party-goers, Camden has a history of being at the centre of established cultural movements, and there is still not a better place to be if you are looking to discover new music. Sunday night is one...
Canadian Sheepdogs Running Wild In North London At The Garage
I first saw The Sheepdogs when they supported Rival Sons earlier this year. They were certainly not going to go unnoticed on that occasion as they were all dressed as fairly camp cowboys. I was certainly impressed enough to catch a full set from them upon their return...
Hu Are They? The Hu @ Camden Underworld
Making their first tour of the West The Hu blend heavy metal with traditional Mongolian instruments and the deep lung thrum of throat singing. Their lyrics include war cries and old poetry and their debut album is called The Gergeg, a word used to describe the...
