The Rolling Stones BST Hyde Park 3rd July 2022 Words Kahmel Farahani Photos Dawn Osborne If there was ever a historic connection between a band and a certain space, then it is between The Rolling Stones and Hyde Park. From their historic free show there in 1969 to their 50th anniversary shows in 2013 that become the […]
Creeper are a new band for me and first impressions are memorable. Singer Will Gould cuts a striking figure with a body like a ballet dancer. Tall with a jet black quiff and razor sharp cheekbones he knows how to strike a pose (and facially looks a bit like Alice Cooper): with his sense of […]
Dust instead of mud, sunshine instead of rain and hot temperatures all day long. Day 4 of the Nova Rock festival started off with Austrian beer tent vibes and free beers as well as yellow and green hats for early visitors at the Red Stage. Since 2013 Wendy’s Böhmische Blasmusikkapelle (Engl. Bohemian brass music ensemble) […]
BST Hyde Park- Sunday 26th June 2022 Robert Plant and Alison Krauss: Plant and Kraus were immediately met with a roar from the crowd the moment they stepped out onto the sunny stage in London’s beautiful Hyde Park. Although the opening of the set was strong, it was the 5th number that really got the […]
The mud on the camping ground and the stage area had finally dried up and fans were welcomed by a nice warm breeze and sun all day long at Nova Rock Festival. Those fans with access to the VIP area also got to enjoy a rum cocktail out of a real coconut. With war continuing […]
The morning of day two of Nova Rock 2022 started with more rain showers and strong wind as well as sleep deprivation caused by either partying too hard or/and other fans running around the camping area with a megaphone. No rest for the wicked! In the afternoon, the sun fought through the clouds and fans […]
From June 9 to June 12, music fans were celebrating the return of Nova Rock 2022 – Austria’s biggest rock festival – with 225,000 visitors flocking to the Pannonia Fields in Nickelsdorf near the Austro-Hungarian border. After a two-year break, the festival broke its previous attendance record. It also seemed to try to break the […]
Everything I personally wanted to see on the third day was on the Opus stage and it felt good to change it up a little. So instead of wandering all over the enormous Download site a lot, as I had over the first two days, I decided to have the barrier experience on the final […]
Dirty Honey kicked off the Opus stage on Saturday. Although I have never seen them live (this is their first UK show) I have been impressed by their singles which I have been playing. Their sound is like the Southern Rock 80s stuff like the Black Crowes with a definite influence from the 70s although […]
There’s plenty at Download for everyone! I came away with a rosy glow at the wonderful time I had had. In these times with some major rock stars proclaiming “rock is dead” Download is there with the force of sheer numbers that proves that this is not the case. No one reviewer can cover everything […]
If you’re a truly avid music lover and concert goer, you’ll have seen and experienced your own share of great moments. A stand-out show or maybe a reunion of sorts with old band members and friends, these all add to the feeling of a having seen a great performance. Magic moments however, are much rarer […]
Seeing Whitesnake is always a super-emotional experience for me. It’s the one band and lead singer for whom I have to be at the front and this emotion is intensified for me tonight as it is the final stadium tour. I have a photo pass, but this doesn’t stop me arranging for someone to keep […]
