Review and Photos by Iain Fox | @IainFoxPhoto It's a peculiar vagary of the musical landscape when a new record and tour from Glasgow rockers Franz Ferdinand appears to represent a return to an era that disappeared with the Motorola Razr. In fact, new record Always Ascending demonstrates something that the

Tonight's concert in the marvellous Albert Hall in the centre of Manchester is a highly anticipated affair. Placebo have carved out a distinctive place in the echelons of British and world music, firstly as purveyors of a particularly distinctive brand of angsty indie but also because they've lasted the distance;

Sheryl Crow's last visit to Manchester accompanied the release of the criminally under-appreciated, country-themed record Feels Like Home. The 2014 show was therefore littered with a hefty spread of the album's best cuts, of which there are many. The release represented a real high point in the re-emergence of the

What do you get when you combine the glorious surroundings of one of the UK's premiere music venues with the stirring output of an artist of such majestic distinction as Laura Marling?

November 5th is called Bonfire Night here in the UK. It is a pyrotechnical celebration of the capture, torture and eventual death of Guy Fawkes, who was one of several plotters who failed to assassinate King James I in 1605. The dubious evening usually involves standing in the cold watching

Albert Hall is uncomfortably rammed tonight in anticipation of one of Britain's most iconic bands. Emerging from the ashes of 1980s superficiality, the band injected life into the rock and roll scene during the next decade, paving the way for significant others who, by the middle of the 90s, would

- January 27, 2016

Manchester's Albert Hall is the perfect setting for Daughter's luscious soundscapes and broody, introspection. Despite boasting a capacity of 2000, the venue still manages to retain a satisfying degree of intimacy and this attribute certainly contributes to another memorable evening in the city's premium performance space.
