Live: Thom Sonny Green, Xylaroo, Mothers @ [PIAS] Nites, The Lexington.

Caught by the River Thames @ Fulham Palace
Caught by the River is reminiscent of the early days of festivals, when they were more like gatherings at which multiple interests were represented, where fashion and showing off are abandoned in favour of relaxation, and letting it all hang out. All ages, all...
Live: LeeFest Presents: The Neverland @ John Darlings Farm.

Live: Ramblin’ Man Fair @ Mote Park, Maidstone.

Live: Citadel Festival 2016
CITADEL Festival @Victoria Park, London Rising from the ashes of the Lovebox site in Victoria Park, Citadel is a very different kind of festival. Arriving early means you can still see the more generic remnants of the previous festival. It may share some of the stalls...

Live: The Struts @ Dingwalls

Live: Band Of Horses @ Shepherd’s Bush Empire

Live: Santana @ Eventim Hammersmith Apollo
It’s been a really awful few weeks. Brexit, no Government, no opposition, defeat to Iceland, Jo Cox, Caroline Aherne. You’d be forgiven for thinking that tonight’s crowd at the Hammersmith Apollo might have reason to be a little agitated right now. In residence was...
Live: Glastonbury 2016 – Mud, Brexit and All-English Headliners
