Tuk Smith and the Restless Hearts opened to a packed house at 7.30! He’s no stranger to the UK and has built up a cult following of people who travel round his gigs. To watch them even for one song is to realise why. ‘Ballad Of A Mispent Youth’ has more of the intensity of […]
Awards Proceedings opened with the awards! Head honcho Jonni Davis is on hand personally to present the awards in his own charismatic way, make sure everything is going well and the music is kept as loud as possible! He cares about the grass roots music industry dying and HRH gives newcomers a chance to cut […]
Dirk Schneider opened and Udo was full of memories as the last time he played a solo gig at Hammersmith supporting Ozzy in 1989! The set was, as advertised, exclusively Accept. Udo was backed with a new and young energetic band including his son Sven on drums. The guitarists had all the moves and were […]
I’ve only heard support Silveroller’s gloriously titled ‘At Dawn’ ep once, and seen them at one festival, and yet their songs resonated with me immediately. They have a deep appreciation of Rock ‘n’ Roll combined with the energy and enthusiasm of youth. It’s like the early seventies all over again – complete with Rod Steward’s […]

W.A.S.P. have taken their ‘Album ONE Alive World Tour’ across the Americas and Europe and were back to finish the UK, culminating in their London date at Hammersmith Apollo before going back to Europe. They have only grown in intensity along the way! Before the London show Blackie hosted about twenty VIPs for a very […]
HRH Sleaze was at Leicester 02 again this year and was completely sold out! It has loyal attendees which come year after year and it’s great to catch up with them, and also make some new friends who love the same music. There are also a fair number of younger people showing that there’s new […]
229 is an old school club venue where there is literally no space between the band on stage and the crowd one step down on the floor. If you are a band that thrives on connection with its fans like Babylon A.D. it’s a chance for bonding with people and making memories that will not […]
Stonedead is a gem of a festival: friendly, small, with the very manageable format of one day and one stage and a preparty which has pretty much as many attendees. They even allow people to bring in an alcohol or water allowance. No wonder tickets sell out in a few days a year in advance […]
In Conversation with Tony Iommi Personal guests and members of the London Rock press gathered this afternoon at a special event organised by Gibson for the launch of Tony Iommi’s signature pick ups, decades in the making.
