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…

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…

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.…

The Gaslight Anthem @Brighton Dome, 10/06/15
So Gaslight decided to play a few local shows in the UK before the festival summer not including London. Brighton was the closest thing I could get to without ridiculous amounts of travel involved. A friend of mine was sweet enough to plonk my name on the guest list – love having friends in all…

Frank Turner @Royal Albert Hall, London, 29/03/2015
Frank Turner at the Royal Albert Hall was truly a feel-good night in every sense of the word. It was my third Frank gig, and him playing at the Royal Albert Hall was a bit as epic a combination as seeing Bruce Springsteen playing at Wembley Stadium. The friend I took with me had never…

The Charlatans @Brooklyn Bowl London, 20/02/2015
The Charlatans at Brooklyn Bowl was part of BRITs Week 2015 and my first big gig as a ticketing coordinator for the venue. So I treasure this one. It’s a band I love for a cause I love even more. What cause you ask? The whole of BRITs Week was in aid of War Child…
