Canadian R&B duo Majid Jordan started their European tour with a sold out event at the popular night club Heaven in London, in which they showed how amazing they were in both their performance and crow pleasing aura. This was […]

GIG REVIEW: Disclosure @ Alexandra Palace, 02/12/15
Disclosure played to a massive capacity crowd at London’s Alexandra Palace, one that included my boyfriend and I. After not so hot warm-up act Eats Everything, the Surrey-born sibling duo took to the stage on spaceship-like platforms. They opened with two […]
GIG REVIEW: Hunter Hayes @ O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, 30/09/2015
Currently best known as a country artist, the young American artist Hunter Hayes is moving slowly into a sub-genre of country-pop. With songs such as “I Want Crazy” and “Tattoo” following a more jumpy beat they contrast to the usual […]
GIG REVIEW: Hot Chip @ Brixton Academy, 23/10/2015
My first time in Brixton Academy, I could not have been more impressed. The sheer size of the place was the first noticeable feature, but as the place began to fill up and the lights dimmed I finally got the […]
Live Review – Enter Shikari @ The Corn Exchange, Cambridge – 24/02/15
Enter Shikari are one of the few bands that require no introduction, partly because any attempt to describe their music would result in the same confusion as a discussion of the meaning of life with an infant. These genre-hopping […]
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 […]
Live Review: Tinariwen
This band has perhaps one of the most rock ‘n’ roll histories of all. Beginning in 1979, the group has faced territorial conflict, government rebellions, military rivalry and they won a Grammy in 2011. Tinariwen are a collective of musicians […]
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)
It’s very rare that you find a band which entices you so much that you want to see them again and again. There’s just something about Superfood’s nonsensical and seemingly odd lyrics about TVs and bubbles which makes me want […]
Live Review: The Aristocrats (The Garage, London | February 17th, 2014)
The rock/fusion power trio The Aristocrats – featuring Guthrie Govan on guitar, Bryan Beller on bass, and Marco Minnemann on drums – are back on tour in support of their second studio album, Culture Clash, released last summer to serious […]
