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…

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory @ Drury Lane Theatre, 08/09/2015
Good morning sunshine, the earth says Hello! Everyone knows the story of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, whether it is through Roald Dahl’s lovely childrens’ book or both film versions. However, you have seen nothing until you have seen this musical. Honestly. It’s a splash of colour on a rainy day, a truly beautiful story…

Kinky Boots is brand new to the West End and I was super excited to see it. The music is by Cyndi Lauper, so how could anything be bad? And it wasn’t, quite the opposite actually! Kinky Boots is an explosion of striking colors, fabulous fun, and a compelling story all mixed with a splash…

Reading Festival @ Reading, 30/08/2015
So. Reading. My back hurts, I don’t know how people do this for a whole weekend! But somehow even if on the train back you want nothing more than your bed, you’re still happy. There’s something about festivals that leaves you no option but to be joyful and slightly Hippie. It may be the idea…

Gaslight Anthem @ O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 29/08/2015
It’s official – The Gaslight Anthem are taking a break. This is sad news to all fans but without a doubt not entirely unexpected. However, London fans seem to hold a special place in the band’s heart as their last headline show took place London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. And what a farewell gig it…

Let me start off by saying, I doubt the KOKO has ever been rocked the way it was rocked last night. Beatsteaks are a German punk rock band from Berlin and usually German bands, no matter how good, don’t really make it outside the country (except for Rammstein and the Scorpions). It is not much…

Living and London and carrying Boston in my heart from my time there it was hard to decide who to support in this game. UMass is one of the top basketball teams in the NCAA having sent various players to the NBA in the last couple of years, with the most recent being Cady Lalanne…

Less Than Jake @Brooklyn Bowl, London, 08/08/15
This was the first gig at Brooklyn Bowl I went to when I no longer worked there, so it was a weird but wonderful experience. I’ve always loved the venue, it has amazing sound and fits just the right amount of people. Plus there’s bowling, what more could you want?! I hadn’t seen either of…

Frank Turner @HMV Oxford Street, London, 07/08/2015
Two gigs in one day and both of them Frank. I’m not complaining. Today is the day Frank’s album drops and everyone is so excited. I have been listening to it all morning. When Frank announced his in-store gigs I knew there was little chance to even get a ticket, and I didn’t. It was…

Frank Turner @The Garage, London, 07/08/15
First things first, this was by far one of the best gigs I have ever been to, hands down. It was the release day for Frank’s new album Positive Songs For Negative People, PS4NP in short. There had been a huge hype around the new album and the small in-store gigs he had been doing.…
