There is no support band tonight and we are straight into the main band. For a Y and T show you can rely on getting a great show with superb guitar and vocals. I have never seen them disappoint and tonight was also consistently great. There was a build up […]
Pete Way Band, Burnt Out Wreck, Bad Habits, Camden Underworld, October 24, 2019 As I was interviewing Pete Way I missed at least half the set of opener ‘Bad Habits’. They have a very competent Asian front woman who plays bass and makes a lot of noise (you can […]
BLACK STAR RIDERS, STONE BROKEN, WAYWARD SONS, Shepherd’s Bush Empire October 12 2019 For some reason the guest list passes were not available early at the box office so I missed the very beginning of Wayward Sons’ short set. It was nice to see them inserting singles from the […]
ALICE COOPER. THE STRANGLERS, MC50, London 02 2019 MC50 kicked off the show and, aware that as support they need to make an impression very quickly to keep people in their seats, they started up with ‘Ramblin Rose’ and featured big hit ‘Kick Out the Jams’ right at the […]
Krusher was a welcome sight acting as compere and adding some old Skool gravitas to proceedings. Irish competition winners Samarkind opened the stage with plenty of Deep Purple inspired blues influenced hard rock. Impressive vocals and a professional performance kicked off the festival in style. The charismatic Massive always […]
Lucky enough to be guests of Universal in the Royal Box I was thrilled to see Bon Jovi sell out Wembley Stadium and to see that classic rock can have such a broad appeal in 2019 even if mainstream media continues to pretty much ignore that fact. First up […]
Tesla, Wayward Sons, Flash Fires, Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London. June 16, 2019 This is my third shot of Tesla in five days and it is testament to how good the band is live that I am as excited to see them tonight as the first time. Having seen their […]
The weather could certainly be better this evening and the courtyard of the Royal Chelsea Hospital is a sea of seated rain ponchos and umbrellas before the Darkness hit the stage and Justin Hawkins refuses to admit defeat. Calling everyone from the hospitality areas at the back to the front […]
Trinity Live is a charity event that has been taking place since 2014, setting itself up as a yearly event with its second edition in 2017. This year the event was back in Leamington Spa Assembly Hall and was raising funds for Help Musicians UK and Mind, the mental health charity. Here’s our review of the event!
Rumours about the supposed “unsuitability” of the support band No Sleep For Lucy for a Doro show had already reached the London crowd before they hit the stage. Looking a bit like the boy band Bros they sound a little bit Eclipse or Vega at best and obviously have ambitions […]
Motley Crue published a book eighteen years ago that would become a staple in rock collections worldwide. One that showed the depravity that was rife in Hollywood, containing 448 pages of sex, drugs, abuse, murder, heartbreak, and tales from the Sunset Strip. It was described by Rolling Stone as “Utterly […]
