Live Review: DUMB at The Old Blue Last, 11/03/14
Another week, another gig in London Town. This time I was at the Old Blue Last in Shoreditch for my hotly-tipped-for-2014 band DUMB. Opening the bill was Birmingham’s Curb who showed their stuff in their melodic grunge which got a […]
Live Review: Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Borderline, 24/02/14
When you go to a lot of gigs you know when it’s going to be good pretty much as soon as you walk in the room. For me, London is the home of all the best venues for live music […]

If you like slow and chilled out music then this song is definitely worth listening to. I’m not usually a fan of sampling, but this song is certainly an exception. Sampling vocals from the blues classic Come On In My […]
Live Review: Shy Nature @ Boston Music Room, Islington, 13/02/14
One of the things I love the most about travelling around London to different gigs is the discovery of new gig venues. The Boston Music Room in Islington is now one of my favourites – and that’s before I even […]
Live Review: Superfood (Oslo, Hackney, 19/02/14)
