Review Date: October 29, 2011 Review By: Sean Marsh Location: The Sage, Gateshead Nearly four years after I last saw them, the Rhythm Kings were back in North East England. Two hours of high-class musical entertainment followed. The show started promptly at 7.30pm. There was no support act. Bill Wyman was the first person to …
Review Date: February 17, 2012 Review By: David Knowles Location: Arts and Leisure Centre Stevenage Having only heard of this group just two weeks before the show after seeing a tour advert in a national newspaper, then checking them out on YouTube, reviewing their latest CD WITH A TWIST, to taking a drive out to …
Review Date September 20, 2012 Review By David Knowles Location Gibson Guitar Studio, London This was a very special album launch for press and a few lucky fans who won tickets to see Scottish blues singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Sandi Thom.

Review Date May 12, 2012 Review By Alan Harrison Location Sunderland Minster I love discovering new venues but never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see a gig in a Church; but with the lack of mid sized concert halls in Sunderland the curators of the Minster in the city centre have volunteered to put on …

Review Date February 13, 2013 Review By Nick Dalton Location Slaughtered Lamb, London It was like the dress-down reception after the wedding, a warm pub cellar bar with plenty of sofas and plenty of friends all having a good time. My Darling Clementine is the award-winning country-couple project of Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish and the real …
Review Date January 14, 2013 Review By Eric Thom Location Hugh’s Room, Toronto, Canada Don’t get me wrong; I was never a huge fan of Ultravox, but I always had time for Midge Ure and his singular, stylish voice, following him into his solo career and beyond-none of which would properly prepare me for what I would witness …
Review Date June 21, 2013 Review By Jela Webb Location St George’s Church, Brighton Promoters Melting Vinyl who have been bringing live music to Brighton for over a decade, once again pitched it perfectly by staging Ron Sexsmith in the hallowed surroundings of St George’s Church. The venue, with its wonderful acoustics and seating for up to 600, …
Review Date September 23-24, 2011 Review By Eric Thom Location The Dakota Tavern, Canada Any chance to see brilliant singer-songwriter Paul Kelly live is an opportunity not to be missed. This occasion, as it turned out, presented two back-to-back, surprisingly intimate evenings. With the release of his Mongrel Memoir, How To Make Gravy and a companion 8-CD live …
Review Date November 3, 2011 Review By David Knowles Location The Maltings, Ely Legendary British r&b band paid a welcome visit to my home town, a gig I just could not miss.
