Music
Franz Ferdinand
There was very little messing about, charging through song after song, so that when the band departed after an hour, having knocked seven bells out of the drumkit, it felt like only half that time had passed.
Offbeat Collective
Eight members, eight different instruments, one cosy pub and the distinct and addictive sound of reggae and soul.
Dream Nails
Whilst Dream Nails may be self-proclaimed musical witches, their love for their audience is clear to see.
Absolute Bowie
My only disappointment – he didn't do The Laughing Gnome, or Little Fat Man.
Sinkhole
Norwich’s next big thing has arrived, once and for all…
Mogwai
I entered the LCR ready and willing to worship at the altar of their magnificence. Sadly, it didn't quite work out that way. At times this felt less about composition and more akin to ritual.
Kezia Gill
From Las Vegas to Benidorm in just over 90 minutes – how many other gigs take you on a journey like that?
Kaiser Chiefs
As Everyday is followed by I predict a Riot, Modern Way and Na Na Na Na Naa, it's a shocker to be reminded that noughties post-Britpop happened a long time ago.
Chloe Foy
Her voice reminds me of Lucy Rose, and her honesty and bravery in delivering the new songs in particular was both endearing and moving.
Sinkhole
“People are looking for a change…”
ASH & BAG OF CANS
Nostalgia be damned, Ash are as relevant now as they have ever been.
MOUNTAIN PEAKS - WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN (I COULD HAVE BEEN MORE)
Pavlis has to apologise for a long delayed review of a scorcher of an EP.
