Yeah, some of you are just going to write shitty comments because "Nickelback". But 14,300 people at this venue, at least, will disagree. I'll kick off with the only real disappointment if the evening - the queues. Hydro, if you're going to have merch stalls outside (good idea) then ensure they have plenty of stock. … Continue reading Gig Review: Nickelback / The Lottery Winners – Hydro, Glasgow (16th May 2024)

Gig Review: Tenacious D / Dave Hill – The Hydro, Glasgow (9th May 2024)
This was set to be a huge gig, and perhaps a surprise given the history of the headliners. I always felt that Tenacious D were a little side project, a joke that grew legs and ended up being a major, arena-headlining monstrosity. Strange how things like that can happen. Anyway, doors were a very early … Continue reading Gig Review: Tenacious D / Dave Hill – The Hydro, Glasgow (9th May 2024)
Gig Review: Rush tribute featuring Moving Pictures / Leoni Jane Kennedy – Bannermans, Edinburgh (6th May 2024)
When you can no longer see Rush live, you need to find a band that's said to be the next best thing. So here we are at Bannermans Edinburgh to see Moving Pictures, a Scottish Rush tribute band. But first up is songwriter/performer and tonight's merchandise girl, Leoni Jane Kennedy, doing an acoustic Rush set. … Continue reading Gig Review: Rush tribute featuring Moving Pictures / Leoni Jane Kennedy – Bannermans, Edinburgh (6th May 2024)
Gig Review: The Warning / Conquer Divide – O2 Forum Kentish Town, London (27th April 2024)

Gig Review: Oli Brown & the Dead Collective / Zac and the New Men – KK’s Steel Mill, Wolverhampton (25th April 2024)
It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since Oli Brown & the Dead Collective made their live debut and after a couple of one-offs and a support tour with The Answer, they’ve not been out on the road. However, they’ve managed to release another couple of EPs in Prologue and Epilogue and with … Continue reading Gig Review: Oli Brown & the Dead Collective / Zac and the New Men – KK’s Steel Mill, Wolverhampton (25th April 2024)
Gig Review: The Stealers / Jaymadeit / Picture Day – The Prince Albert, Brighton (26th April 2024)
I thought I would throw in a bit of a wildcard to my gig-going schedule and have a Friday night out at my favourite pub, in Brighton to boot. Not having heard any of the three bands playing tonight, I was interested to see why the (admittedly small) venue was sold out, presumably because all … Continue reading Gig Review: The Stealers / Jaymadeit / Picture Day – The Prince Albert, Brighton (26th April 2024)
