Every Friday night St. Moritz, just off Berwick Street in Soho, hosts BLOW OUT in their basement club. The club is lovely, it’s a small cellar venue, a little creepy to walk into, but once you’re downstairs all is cozy and homey. It was the Velettes’ first single release party and The Boy Jones supported.…

Chelsea vs Liverpool @Stamford Bridge Stadium, 31/10/2015
Watching Premier League games live is always a great experience. besides the swearing going on, the atmosphere is amazing. Now seeing two of the greatest teams live in action is even better. The game was off to a surprising start when Chelsea scored after just 5 minutes while Liverpool was still getting into the match…

Nothing But Thieves @Electric Ballroom, 30/10/2015
Nothing But Thieves are the break out band of the year, having just recently released their debut album which hit the ground hard. This Friday they played Camden’s Electric Ballroom for a sold-out show. The performance was mind-blowing, however, short. Understandably though. With only one album you don’t have that much material to play, so…

Symptomatic Presents: CRHOMA, The Bronsons, The Boy Jones & Dem Bones @93 Feet East, 23/10/2015
First time at 93 Feet East – I really liked it. It’s got this Shoreditch music venue feel without the hipster crowd (well at least not mostly hipsters, you can’t avoid them). It’s a small garage-style venue just off Brick Lane. I’m thinking this is one of those great places where you can discover loads…

Carl Barat & The Jackals @ Hackney Wonderland/The Oval Space, 10/10/2015
After the official reunion of the Libertines this festival summer and the release of their third studio album along with a big arena tour in 2016, it wasn’t to be expected to see the lads carry on with side projects. However, knowing the history of the boys in the band it’s always better to have…
Read MoreTicket stubs display – show your love of gigs
Going to gigs a lot is great, keeping ticket stubs is even greater. I’ll happily pay a box office collection or postage fee to get to keep that little piece of paper. However, I’ve now acquired so many stubs that I’m thinking of what to do with them. Currently they are all stacked away neatly.…

Wicked @ Apollo Theatre, 01/10/2015
Wicked, Oh Wicked! Absolutely, magnificently mind-blowing! It deserves all the praise it has gotten and more. It is by far the best thing I have seen in the West End, scratch that, the best thing I’ve seen full stop. If you’re like me, and you like yourself a bit of Oz then this is the…
