Live: PiL @ O2 Indigo
If you can forgive those adverts for the butter (and please do - actually they were pretty funny and they did fund new PiL music, so let’s all just get over it, shall we?), John Lydon must surely be one of the most iconic musical artists still occupying a stage....
Live: Lera Lynn @ Islington Assembly Hall
Nashville, Tennessee-based singer-songwriter and guitarist Lera Lynn brought her Resistor tour to the UK for a run of shows including tonight’s stop at Islington’s Assembly Hall in support of her recently released fourth studio album – if we discount her significant...
Live: Little Green Cars @ Village Underground
Dublin-based quintet Little Green Cars are back on the road in support of sophomore LP Ephemera, which emerged in March some three years since well-received debut Absolute Zero. Following stops in Manchester and Bristol with the touring Dot To Dot Festival, alongside...
Live: Pentatonix @ Brixton Academy
Pentatonix may sound like a thrash metal band but they are, in fact, an American a cappella quintet that have been taking the US by storm following winning the third season of NBC’s The Sing-Off reality TV show back in 2011, which resulted in the group winning a...
Live: Jono McCleery Trio @ Bush Hall
Tomorrow, at the same time, The same feeling will arise, And you will know by then to go. There are just a few artists that are able to change the evening into magic just by the power of their voice. Striped down, dressed only in emotions, without pretending... One...
Live: Graham Nash @ G Live Guildford.
Planes, boats and trains...and bus stops, the chances are that Graham Nash knows a tune or two about them or he has probably written one and we heard about them all tonight. At G Live in Guildford he demonstrated his human side, he showed us a part of himself that was...
Live: Vanessa Carlton @ Scala
Pennsylvania-born singer, songwriter and pianist Vanessa Carlton returned to London after a thirteen-year absence in style, following a capacity show at North London’s Lexington earlier this month, she was back at the bigger Scala venue to wrap up her European tour in...
Live: The Dandy Warhols @ The Electric Ballroom
Whilst The Dandy Warhols have enjoyed mainstream success over a number of years, it isn’t too much of a stretch to say that to the general populous, they’re really only known for one song. The royalties from ‘that song’; Bohemian Like You – an instantly recognisable...
Live: Band Of Skulls @ Electric Ballroom
Southampton-based rock trio Band Of Skulls are back with their Gil Norton-produced fourth studio album By Default. And to celebrate its launch next week, they played a duo of shows in North London; a last minute Lexington stop followed by tonight’s sold-out Electric...
Live: Gov’t Mule @ The O2 Forum Kentish Town
It’s an unseasonably (read ‘unreasonably’) warm night in London; indeed, if the weather got any closer I’d practically be nose to nose with it. I imagine that Warren Haynes, front man of Gov’t Mule and a native of Asheville, North Carolina, is feeling right at home....
Manic Street Preachers @ Royal Albert Hall
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan wouldn’t have approved of tonight. Playing albums through in full is nothing new and is often considered simply to be for milking a few extra quid out of past glory days. But as soon as I heard that Welsh rockers Manic Street...
Live : Travis @ The Forum, Kentish Town
I think its fair to say that Fran Healy likes a guitar; I wasn’t counting but it did appear that the Travis lead singer pretty much swapped guitars every song through tonight’s performance. This is in no way a criticism, but it does demonstrate that the bands trusted...
Live: Chris Cornell @ Royal Albert Hall
Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell played his first show at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall in support of fifth solo album Higher Truth, the tour similar in style to his 2011 Songbook tour, with Cornell playing stripped-back renditions of a...
Live: Gregory Porter @ Eventim Apollo Hammersmith
My nineteen-year-old daughter first played me Gregory Porter. It says a lot about the width of the demographic that it was her educating me about a forty-four-year-old American jazz singer, and not the other way around. 2013’s Liquid Spirit rang around our kitchen for...
Live: Roger Hodgson @ The Royal Albert Hall
Put one hundred Supertramp fans in a room and ask them if they would rather see ‘Supertramp’ or ‘Roger Hodgson - solo artist and the voice of Supertramp’; and I’d be prepared to bet the mortgage that a significant majority would choose the latter. Pink Floyd isn’t...
