Review: 32 Londoners. Don Letts on Joe Strummer.

Nicola Greenbrook took a captivating trip on the Coca-Cola London Eye to hear Don Letts open his mind (and heart) about the iconic Joe Strummer. Music for the people by the people. I’m ashamed to admit a mild fear of heights. On a supposedly ordinary Tuesday evening,...

Live: Beth Hart @ The Barbican.

I have arrived a bit late to the phenomenon of Beth Hart. For me, that’s a shame because after tonight, I'm hooked and I feel like I've missed out. Tonight's performance felt like a proper journey through life experiences, heartaches, families, love won, love lost and...

The Bracknall Open For The K’s At London’s Roundhouse For A Triumphant Britpop Revival

In a night charged with anticipation and indie rock fervour, London’s Roundhouse venue  played host to a blistering set from The K’s — but it was Essex alt-rock outfit The Bracknall who first lit the fuse.
