You know that one band you love because you grew up listening to them? That’s Bruce Springsteen for me. My parents have always listened to them and even went to his only concert in East Germany in 1988 with 300,000 people when I was just two (now you know how old I am, big deal)…

It was a late and sweaty one at Dingwalls this Wednesday. London had been a scorcher for a few days and the non-existence of air conditioning and proper insulation turns basically all building in the UK into a sauna. In any case, that would be annoying. For a punk gig at Dingwalls it just made…

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…

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…

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…
