Live: The Libertines, O2 Arena, London.
The Libertines, O2 Arena, London. The word “great” is bestowed on a lot of bands these days, sometimes merited sometimes not. It’s certainly a word that’s been pushed in the direction of the The Libertines, although for me there’s sometimes been a sense of the...

Live: Guy Garvey @ Shepherd’s Bush Empire
Sometimes it’s nice to be proved comprehensively wrong about something. The first time I saw Elbow, I was ambivalent at best. Dragged by my wife to Wembley Arena (quite possibly the worst place in London to see live music), it turned out to be one of the best gigs...
