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…

Ticket 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…

Mamma Mia! @ Novello Theatre, 29/09/2015

It’s ABBA time! Everyone knows the songs, and you can’t help but sing along, let’s be honest. To start off, I wasn’t a big fan of the movie Mamma Mia, it was just a bit too over the top and ridiculously badly acted. So, I wasn’t too sure how I was going to feel about…

Matilda @ Cambridge Theatre London, 23/09/2015

Everyone knows the story of Matilda, whether it is through the books or the movie. Remember the little girl who was told by her parents that reading is stupid and who was bullied by her head master? Yes, that Matilda. It’s a successful West End musical, and if you haven’t been – go! Take your…

Carrie Underwood / Apple Music Festival @ Roundhouse, 21/09/2015

First things first: I was absolutely floored by Carrie’s voice. But more on that later. The Apple Music Festival, aka iTunes festival, hosted at the Roundhouse didn’t catch my eye until I heard that Mumford & Sons are playing. It was only then I checked the line-up. The idea is that you can only win…

Future Conditional @ The Old Vic, 14/09/2015

Have you ever seen a play that made your skin tingle? In plain English – goosebumps. This play was one of those. It may be my personal connection to education, nevertheless you will be able to relate to on point or another during the performance. I don’t know much about the British education system other…

The Boss Tribute @ Brooklyn Bowl London, 11/09/2015

It’s been too long since I’ve seen Springsteen live, so a tribute band will have to do. Not usually a big fan of cover bands, but always up for a bit of fun. I was sure to see some of the E-Street fans there, so I knew it would be a good party if nothing…
