It’s been something of a fairytale for The Answer in their comeback year. Releasing an excellent album at the start of the year with a tour, plenty of summer festival sets and one final tour to see out the year, along with releasing another couple of standalone singles. It’s been a banner year for them … Continue reading Gig Review: The Answer / Kira Mac – KK’s Steel Mill, Wolverhampton (17th November 2023)

Gig Review: The Almighty / Balaam and the Angel – Barrowlands, Glasgow (30th November 2023)
It has been... a lot of years since The Almighty played live, longer since they toured rather than played one-offs. Let's say thirty years so that I don't feel as old as I possibly could, given that I last recall seeing them on the Wrench tour in 1994. When I last spoke to Ricky Warwick … Continue reading Gig Review: The Almighty / Balaam and the Angel – Barrowlands, Glasgow (30th November 2023)
Gig Review: Paul Di’Anno / Noturnall / Electric Gypsy – Bannermans, Edinburgh (22nd/23rd November 2023)
So here we are back at Bannermans again to see the legend that is Paul Di'Anno on the first night of a two night sell out, I've always preferred the Di'Anno Maiden over any other version as good as Bruce and Blaze are - so fingers crossed for a good couple of nights! On tour … Continue reading Gig Review: Paul Di’Anno / Noturnall / Electric Gypsy – Bannermans, Edinburgh (22nd/23rd November 2023)
Gig Review: Smash Into Pieces / Cyan Kicks – King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, Glasgow (25th November 2023)
I first discovered tonight’s headline band back in the lockdown days of 2020, when YouTube took me down the rabbit hole of bands I’d never heard of before and it suddenly played ‘Superhero’ by Smash Into Pieces. After adding a couple of songs by them, which I really liked, I didn’t really get the chance … Continue reading Gig Review: Smash Into Pieces / Cyan Kicks – King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, Glasgow (25th November 2023)
Gig Review: The Sisters of Mercy / The Virginmarys – Barrowland Ballroom, Glasgow (23rd November 2023)
It’s been a long haul for The Sisters of Mercy over the last two months. A tour which has taken in pretty much all of the EU with the final week seeing their return to the UK in some of the country’s best venues, climaxing tonight in Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom. It’s been an eventful one … Continue reading Gig Review: The Sisters of Mercy / The Virginmarys – Barrowland Ballroom, Glasgow (23rd November 2023)
Gig Review: Rabidfest – The Bullingdon, Oxford (4th-5th November 2023)
Well, it has been quite some time since writing my last review after Oxford M2TM competition has ended with such an amazing final, I found myself without many events planned. Bloodstock already being covered by a group of incredibly talented individuals, plus Oktoberfest up in Glasgow also being covered, I was able to go to … Continue reading Gig Review: Rabidfest – The Bullingdon, Oxford (4th-5th November 2023)
