Review + Photos: Margaret Glaspy @ Trades Hall – Hebden Bridge

- September 6, 2017

Just over twelve months ago, I met Margaret Glaspy and heard her perform for the first time at The Green Man festival in Wales. Her debut record Emotion and Math was only a few months old and her songs that afternoon sounded completely fresh and a just a little bit

Review + Photos: Zac Brown Band @ Budweiser Stage – Toronto

- September 5, 2017

It may have been too chilly for tank tops and cut off shorts, but that didn’t prevent the sold out crowd from showing off their southern spirit for Georgia’s Zac Brown Band. August 31st was the first of two nights at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage as part of ZBB’s Welcome Home

Review + Photos: Courtney Marie Andrews @ The Deaf Institute – Manchester

- September 4, 2017

You could be forgiven for thinking that twenty-six year old Courtney Marie Andrews is a relative newcomer to the burgeoning alt country/Americana scene. An impressive debut on Later...with Jools Holland a few months ago appeared to be the result of the international success of her latest album Honest Life, but

Lana Del Rey's previous visit to the North West was in May 2013. It had been over a year since the New Yorker's official debut record Born to Die had been released and in that time her status as a bona fide star had grown to the point where Manchester's

Another day, another trip down to Budweiser Stage! It’s been such an incredible summer of music and I love being a Chief Music Officer at this venue. This time, I made my way to see Green Day and Catfish and the Bottlemen perform and it was a killer double bill. The

4 reasons why Budweiser Stage is my go-to venue for summer concerts

- August 15, 2017August 16, 2017

I can’t tell you how much I love the newly renovated Budweiser Stage! Actually, I can, and that’s exactly what this whole article is about. Cheeky, eh? As a Chief Music Officer for Budweiser Stage, I find myself at this venue each week singing my heart out with some of

Review + Photos: Green Day, Phil Collins, and Blondie @ BST Hyde Park – London

- August 12, 2017August 24, 2017

Barclaycard’s BST Hyde Park has always been an interesting concept, a mix of an all-dayer and a band’s private festival which sees the organisers and headliners curate their own line-up for a solid day that revolves around the headline act but with all of the ‘other’ attractions you’d expect from

Review: Spoon @ Gorilla – Manchester

Concert Reviews

- July 21, 2017February 21, 2021

What kind of band are Spoon? Describing them as a rock band just doesn't cut it. The label is too simplistic. Calling them an indie band also undermines the complexity of their material. Art rock makes them sound inaccessible. They're not. Yet, without really residing in any specific musical enclave

Review: Radiohead @ Emirates Old Trafford – Manchester

Concert Reviews

- July 20, 2017

The last time I saw Radiohead was during the spring of 1992. A quarter of a century ago, down in the dark and dingy basement bar of Bradford's now defunct Queen's Hall, the unknown Oxford band were supporting a jokey Irish outfit called The Sultans Of Ping FC. They were

Review: Depeche Mode @ Telia Parken – Copenhagen

The band started up back in the 80's, and they are definitely still going strong now 37 years later with a grand world tour and a most convincing sound on their latest album ”Spirit”. We went to cover one of the first shows on the current ”Global Spirit Tour” with
