Live: Weezer @ Brixton Academy
Los Angeles-based rockers Weezer made their live UK return with two dates, hitting up Manchester’s Academy venue followed by London’s Brixton Academy almost five years since their last time in London, on the very same stage. Famed for their interspersion of...
Live: Stoneghost @ Barfly, Camden Town.
I’ve got a soft spot for the Barfly. A few years ago, I did my first practice shoot for a live music gig there, and for me it always sums up the epitome of a hard core rock club where bands and audience alike can get up close and personal and basically let their hair...
Live: Låpsley @ Heaven
Holly Lapsley Fletcher, better known simply as Låpsley, is about to make bigger waves than she already has if Wednesday’s Heaven show in London is anything to go by. The Southport, Merseyside native released her debut album Long Way Home just a few weeks ago and was...
Live: Tracer @ The Talking Heads, Southampton.
Tracer Live at The Talking Heads Most of the time I head out to gigs, I’ve a reasonable idea what I’m going to get – it stands to reason that you check out the stuff that would ordinarily fall under the radar. Occasionally however, it’s nice to take a punt on...
Live: James Bay @ Hammersmith Apollo
English singer-songwriter and guitarist James Bay has had an incredible couple of years. From being signed to Republic Records and releasing his first EPs in 2013 and selling out his first UK headline tour just a year later, to releasing his chart-topping debut album...

Halifax's finest The Orielles travelled to South London for a headline show on Saturday night at SW17's Tooting Tram and Social. The band are made up of Sidonie Hand-Halford on drums, her sister Esme on bass and vocals and guitarist Henry Carlyle-Wade, whom the...
Live: Simple Plan @ Bristol Academy
When people think about the pioneers and major influencers of pop punk, they think Blink 182, New Found Glory, Good Charlotte and rightly so. But there is another inclusion and more often than not the Canadian 5 piece Simple Plan are missed off that list. They have...
Live: Half Moon Run @ Roundhouse
Playing their biggest headline show to date, Montréal-based indie rockers Half Moon Run returned to Camden, albeit the Chalk Farm end, just a few months after their explosive Koko show following the release of their second studio album Sun Leads Me On. Yes, I went...
Live: DIIV @ Heaven in London.
DIIV at Heaven, London “Thanks for writing our setlist tonight”. Such is the introduction to DIIV’s final song tonight night from their enigmatic frontman Zachary Cole Smith, and having spent the second part of tonight’s set watching from the mixing desk, this...
Live: Paves @ The Pipeline
Paves: The Pipeline Bar, London Despite only being a stone’s throw from some serious city money, walking into the Pipeline is like walking into your favourite student bar. Upstairs there’s pool tables and pinball, but in the downstairs cellar there’s a seriously good...
Live: Chairlift @ Scala
Brooklyn-based synth-pop duo Chairlift are back with their third studio album Moth, a good four years since 2012’s Something. And following an outing of the new album at Hackney’s Oslo venue in December, the group were back in London for one of only two European...
Live: Mack Hofberg @ The Wedgewood Rooms
When you spend your time photographing and reviewing live music, it stands to reason you try to chase the biggest acts you can possibly find; there’s something particularly exciting about snapping a major artist in the throes of performance. But, the thrill of...
Live: Twenty One Pilots @ Portsmouth Guildhall
Creating an image around a band can be a blessing or a curse. For Twenty One Pilots its definitely the former, with the red, black and grey of their latest album Blurryface, being carried through to everything in tonight’s show. From the backdrops, to the...
Live: The Hunna @ Boston Music Room
I’m at Boston Music Room in Tufnell Park, attending the first of three sell-out shows by Hertfordshire four-piece The Hunna. Although not a venue that’s about to win any awards for its appearance, the slightly decrepit, run-down nature of the place sits well with the...
