Gig Review: Joe Bonamassa – Genting Arena, Birmingham (16th March 2018)
Joe Bonamassa is a key figure in modern blues. Mentored by such greats as B.B. King, Bonamassa began making a name for himself when he was just a teenager.

The Redrum has been picking up more than its fair share of talent over the past few years, growing their reputation way beyond its Staffordshire borders. From the outside looking in, I was more expecting … Continue reading Gig Review: Michale Graves – Redrum, Stafford (1st Feb 2018)
Stone Sour / The Pretty Reckless, Birmingham Barclaycard Arena (29th Nov 2017)
Just two acts take part in tonight’s rock and roll extravaganza at the Barclaycard Arena, Birmingham. Starting the proceedings were American troupe; The Pretty Reckless. It’s obvious to point out the vocalist's previous endeavours which in a way lull an audience into a false sense of security; a false sense of calm.
