I don't know what to expect as I make my way down to Nottingham. An iconic band of the scene...only two bands on the roster...midweek gig...colour me surprised with the amount of people packing Rock City out before the support has even come on. All ages and genders present. All here to catch the legendary … Continue reading Gig Review: Alkaline Trio / lowlives – Rock City, Nottingham (23rd July 2024)

Gig Review: Tom Killner / Preacher Stone – The Feathers Inn, Lichfield (17th July 2024)
