Album review: DAVID GILMOUR – Rattle That Lock
Columbia [Release date 18.09.15] We should be grateful for this latest album from one of rock’s distinguished elder statesman and, who knows, back in 2006 we may have even thought ‘On An Island’ was the ‘swansong’. Like Iron Maiden’s ‘The … Continue reading

Album review: FULL TRUNK – Time For Us To Move
Full Trunk [Release date 04.05.15] Full Trunk is an interesting rock-blues outfit with a difference. They have a musical vision routed in early 70’s with occasional folky edges, and ‘Time For Us To Move’ has a refreshingly song driven quality, explored … Continue reading

Album review: THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA – Plays Prog Rock Classics
Purple Pyramid/Cleopatra [Release date 20.04.15] Classical rock is an often maligned genre, when done well it can bring new dimension to time-worn classics, done badly and it can fail to enhance the originals. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra have always done … Continue reading

Gig review: BLUES PILLS/THE VINTAGE CARAVAN/BLACK WOLF – The Dome, London, 18 November 2014
