Ben Howard @ Brixton Academy
It’s not often an artist can give you the sensation of an ever-increasing descent into the depths of the ocean, or being released from an airlock into the abyss of space. One could argue that Ben Howard feels a duty to produce this effect, with multi-layered ambience and dense textural instrumentation coupled with seamless transitioning […]
Blossoms @ Victoria Warehouse
It was a pleasant surprise to learn I had got a guest list pass for a completely sold out gig. I can honestly say Blossoms as a whole were so friendly and welcoming. I walked straight in to the dressing room and Josh was steaming his outfit for the night. “Proper charity shop style.” The […]
Kaleb Mckane @ Manchester Academy 3
This was such an unusual experience, I had no idea what to expect from a supporting act but I was instantly blown away by these guys. The band named after front man Kaleb, was insane. His powerful voice rang through the room, it was like David Bowie, literally this young man had a voice like […]
Indigo Youth @ Odd Frog
Arriving at soundcheck, always an awkward time, all the shuffling about, I sat and ordered a Jack Daniels as you do, then sat and watched as the bands fidgeted about setting up. I got a real feel for the place immediately, a lovely music venue in Barrow in Furness. It’s got long wooden tables, serves posh nachos […]
Tom Lumley @ Jimmy’s Manchester
What an exciting scene to walk in to, these Cambridge lads in the absolutely packed to the brim Jimmy’s music venue. I walked in and found it difficult to even reach the front, within moments I was pushed behind, but I fought through and maintained in a prime spot once again. The enthusiasm oozed from […]

Philly X Paradi$e – Every Time
This song is so smooth, firstly with the catchy, chilled and vibrant sounds that build up at the start. This RnB/ Soul track has immediate positive vibes, it’s actually incredible. The lovely build up where it’s simply keys that stand alone. Then a soulful introduction takes place with a soft voiced vocalist that immediately draws you […]

The Vaccines secret gig @ Victoria Baths
This incredible intimate gig took place on the 20th of September. Myself and a supervisor from Band On The Wall (music venue in Manchester) arrived at the picturesque mysterious setting for the secret gig.
