2020 Crew Review: Iain “Mosh” Purdie – Editor in Chief/Grand Poobah

OK, then so it's time to draft some words about 2020 and try to make out that it's not been a cataclysmic shitstorm caused mainly by political ineptitude and a hyperactive microorganism. But I can't. Because it was. So I won't. Instead I'll focus mainly on the music side of things, which is surprisingly limited … Continue reading 2020 Crew Review: Iain “Mosh” Purdie – Editor in Chief/Grand Poobah

"Real work" has picked up, meaning I've had to juggle / pass off Moshville Times duties to Ross for significant periods of time. So … Continue reading 2018 Crew Review: Iain “Mosh” Purdie – Editor in Chief

Interview: Rumahoy’s Captain Yaarface welcomes us to the sea

Just before they opened proceedings for Alestorm in Glasgow recently, we sat down for a brief chat with the balaclava-clad giant that is Captain Yaarface.

Please note that, as … Continue reading Interview: Rumahoy’s Captain Yaarface welcomes us to the sea

Album Review: Rumahoy – The Triumph of Piracy

We get so many albums through the mailbox here at Moshville Times that it's impossible to check everything out. As a result, Rumahoy slipped through the (barnacle encrusted) net until I saw them opening for Alestorm a few days ago and discovered that their debut album, The Triumph of Piracy, had already been released. However, they … Continue reading Album Review: Rumahoy – The Triumph of Piracy
