Read MoreREVIEW: Sleaford Mods, supported by Big Special & Emily Breeze - 02 Academy Bristol 30/11/2023
I’ve been excited about this gig since its announcement and even more so when I saw who had been chosen by Sleaford Mods as Support. With Big Special and Emily Breeze transforming this from a great to an excellent lineup for me and a few friends. Anticipation levels were high as we all got together in Bristol’s oldest pub, ‘The Hatchet’ for a few pre-show drinks. This is pub that always brings back memories from past gigs as it’s situated a stone’s throw from tonight’s venue, Bristol’s very own 02 Academy. This gig sold out ages ago, I think this had something to do with the quality of support acts, so I felt lucky to have been given the chance to attend and pen a few words.

REVIEW: The Bookshop Band invited me to join them for a night of music and stories with a VERY special guest....
I was asked a few weeks back if I would like to attend an event in Bath where a band called The Bookshop Band would be performing a couple of tracks lifted form their forthcoming new album ‘Emerge, Return’ and revealing the artwork that was created by Stanley Donwood, an English artist and writer, who, since 1994, has created all the artwork for the rock band Radiohead with their singer, Thom Yorke, plus his other projects, including Atoms for Peace and the Smile. He also creates artwork for Glastonbury Festival and has published books of writing. I was also told that Pete Townshend, yes, the guitarist from The Who, would also be in attendance, would I be there? Just you try and stop me!
Read MoreREVIEW: I finally made it to SHIIINE ON for a weekend of music, fun and frivolities
After 5 years, I finally decided to attend Shiiine On, a festival that celebrates the BEST music of all, the sounds of the 90’s, a decade that helped to carve my sonic path through the multitude of others such as hair-metal and other such genres that I was dabbling in by the late 80’s. The lineup included acts such as The Wonder Stuff, Jim Bob, The Inspiral Carpets, Sleeper, The Enemy, Fun Loving’ Criminals, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Jesus Jones and more, acts that I may have seen before, some back in the 90’s so this weekend was going to be a chance to re-establish myself with their sound and energy.
