MARTIN TURNER- 100 Club, London, 3 October 2024

2024 has seen Wishbone Ash founder member Martin Turner tour a set based around the Live Dates Volume Two album: perhaps less heralded than its predecessor, this 1980 release shows the ‘Mark 2’ phase of the band at their finest … Continue reading

Gig review: ROB TOGNONI – 100 Club, London, 26 September 2023

Rob Tognoni by Tom Brundage

Gig review: ROBERT JON & THE WRECK – 100 Club, London, 23 September 2021

It was so good to be back. 18 long, dark months had passed without a ‘real’ gig. The prospect of Troy Redfern and Robert Jon & The Wreck tonight had me giddy with anticipation. The event did not disappoint. Troy … Continue reading

Gig review: SAVOY BROWN – 100 Club, London, 18 January 2020

SAVOY BROWN- 100 Club, London, 18 January 2020

The marketing for the now traditional January London Blues Month is a mocked up, retro-style handbill.  Someone who can remember those days is Kim Simmonds. He may not have the high profile of other guitar contemporaries of the British blues … Continue reading

Gig review: BUCK & EVANS – 100 Club, London, 19 November 2019

BUCK & EVANS- 100 Club, London, 19 November 2019

When I saw them at the prestigious 100 Club only six months ago, Buck and Evans were still previewing songs from an album that, like Billy Bunter’s postal order or an election manifesto promise, was constantly  about to be delivered- … Continue reading

Gig review: MARTIN TURNER – 100 Club, London, 14 October 2017

MARTIN TURNER - 100 Club, London, 14 October 2017

You could argue that Wishbone Ash founder member Martin Turner has overstayed the classic album concept with regular live renditions of their 1972 classic ‘Argus’ over the past decade.  Yet his band’s performance of the album at Ramblin Man Fair … Continue reading

DAN REED NETWORK - 100 Club, London, 15 June 2016

First time I have been inside the legendary 100 Club on Oxford Street, which has been home to many jazz and blues musical legends, a fact the numerous framed photos of past performers there reinforces. An unusual set-up with the … Continue reading

Gig review: THE ANSWER – 100 Club, London, 24 May 2016

THE ANSWER - 100 Club, London, 24 May 2016

A tell tale sign of getting older, together with youthful policemen, neither knowing nor caring what is at No. 1 and a general irritability, is the increasing speed at which time passes. One example was to find out that The … Continue reading

Gig review: THE PRETTY THINGS – London, 100 Club, 21 December 2013

The brief was, I am led to believe, simple. “It’s a mod do,” promoter John Hellier had said to the band beforehand, “so keep it strictly Mod- all R’n’B, no psych.” Admittedly, that’s not how I’d have played it, but … Continue reading
