Gig review: FIREVOLT FESTIVAL – Whitebottom Farm, Stockport, 9-11 August 2024
I will freely tell anyone who will listen that Firevolt has, within a very short space of time, become my favourite festival in the UK. The festival is in beautiful surroundings, on a farm at the end of a delightful … Continue reading

Gig review: STONE BROKEN – 100 Club, London, 23 February 2023
After a fairly conventional tour schedule in 2022 (in which I caught their London show, rearranged for the Scala, and two festival appearances) Stone Broken decided on a new approach for a second leg of dates in support of most … Continue reading

Gig review: STONEDEAD FESTIVAL – Newark Showground – 27th August 2022
This year’s event was the 4th Stonedead Festival. Since it’s inception back in 2018 the crowd numbers have swelled to around 4500, which site wise is about the optimum number, and the event continues to go from strength to strength. … Continue reading

Gig review: FIRESTORM MCR – Whitebottom Farm, Stockport, 12-14 August 2022
One of the consequences of the current wretched state of our world in 2022 is that, even though live music has returned from its Covid hiatus, travelling abroad for both fans and bands has become logistically more difficult, and we … Continue reading

Gig review: STONE BROKEN, Mason Hill, The Fallen State – The Marble Factory, Bristol, 25 April 2022
Opening their set with the rather epic ‘For My Sorrow’ the atmosphere is rocking, and there are clearly some fans in the audience and it’s a reflection that actually this tour celebrates three bands that are all on their ascendancy, … Continue reading

Gig review: STONE BROKEN – Islington Assembly Hall, London, 24 February 2018
One of the healthiest factors in the current music scene is that, alongside long-established and recently reformed names, a whole new generation of classic rock bands are coming through and growing in popularity. Indeed one of the fastest-growing Facebook groups … Continue reading

Gig review: RAMBLIN’ MAN FAIR – Day 3 – Mote Park, Maidstone, 30 July 2017
After the deluge on Saturday the forecast for the Sunday was looking a lot brighter and judging by the size of the crowd in the arena the sun had enticed a few extra bodies along for another top day of … Continue reading

Gig review: CHEAP TRICK – The Forum, London, 27 June 2017
The term ‘cult act’ is widely used, but applies more than most to Cheap Trick, at least in the UK. In a distinguished career of over 40 years they only once troubled the top 40 singles charts, and yet their … Continue reading

Gig review: WINTER’S END FESTIVAL – Poole, 24-26 February 2017
With the resounding success of sister event Rockstock, Planet Rock seized on the idea to stage another event this time in the south of England in Poole, a somewhat neglected area for touring rock bands. I think it is safe … Continue reading

Gig review: ROCKINGHAM FESTIVAL – Nottingham Trent University Students Union, 21-23 October 2016
Last year, a new festival, Rockingham, took on the unenviable mantle of filling the void left by Firefest, which for a decade had delighted melodic rock fans by bringing a series of cult melodic rock acts, many reforming after years … Continue reading

Gig review: RAMBLIN’ MAN FAIR – Mote Park, Maidstone, 24 July 2016 (Day 2)
If the Day 2 line up was less immediately eye-catching and mouth-watering than Saturday, there was still so much to anticipate. I made straight for the Blues tent where a good crowd received Pat McManus enthusiastically. I’d been a fan … Continue reading
