Mumford & Sons @The O2, 10/12/2015

Looks like I missed two of my best gigs of 2015 off the list, well here it is now. Note to self: set reminder to upload blog pieces. Many were doubtful how Mumford & Sons would sustain their status as acoustic geniuses with the new, more indie, album Wilder Mind. I myself had to give…

Muse @The O2, 03/04/2016

On Sunday night Muse don’t just put on a pretty rocking show at The O2, they also broke a record at North Greenwhich’s Millennium Dome. The sold-out show is the biggest The O2 has ever seen. Yes the venue had been sold out before, but usually the stage will be sat in front of an extra…

Brian Fallon @KOKO, 08/04/2016

It’s fair to say I’ve seen my share of really good concerts, be it Frank Turner, Springsteen or The Gaslight Anthem. And they all hold a special place and a definite spot in the top 5. But sometimes a gig is not just good, or epic, or awesome, sometimes it hits you right in the…

Frank Turner @The Union Chapel, 19/12/2015

Sorry for the delay in getting this up. Totally thought this had gone up already.  🙂 What a treat this was. As a die-hard Frank Turner fan, this was not only something very special, a dream come true and thoroughly enjoyable, but also in aid of a fantastic cause. Everything about this gig was absolutely…

An extraordinary homecoming for The Libertines at The O2, 30/01/2016

Earlier this month London’s own Libertines returned to finish off their huge arena tour in support of their new album Anthems For Doomed Youth. And what a phenomenal return to the music stage it was. One thing can be said for sure: the band as well as the fans were equally excited for this last…

London’s favourite troubadour and songwriter Frank Turner returned to his hometown of choice for the last gig of his UK tour. Turner’s tour kicked off in the US in September just after the release of his latest album Positive Songs For Negative People and a small in-store gig tour just before that. Playing the biggest…

Lonely The Brave impress at Islington Assembly Hall

“We sing with our heroes 33rpm” – A love letter and farewell to one my favourite bands

I wrote this a few weeks ago but never got around to posting, so here we go. x   Dear Gaslight, For the past three and a half years you’ve been an integral part of my existence. Constantly on repeat on my iPod on my way to uni, on my way to work. Constantly in…

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…
