Gig review: SOUTH OF SALEM – The Tivoli, Buckley, North Wales, 9 February 2024

Posted on February 10, 2024 by GRTR! HQ

South Of Salem could be construed as “old school” in 2024. Admittedly there’s nothing cutting edge in their Goth-inspired metal delivery but – by goodness – they deliver. We’ve been exposed to a series of singles from the band in … Continue reading →

Gig review: BLACK STAR RIDERS – The Tivoli, Buckley, 28 November 2018

Posted on November 29, 2018 by GRTR! HQ

It was good to see “The Tiv” nearly full tonight, in stark contrast to our last visit and Wishbone Ash. This has more to do with Wishbone’s more extensive itinerary and accessibility and Black Star Riders’ more modest – and … Continue reading →

Since we last saw the honourable Graham Bonnet, he has turned 70. In the interim he’s been gigging with Schenker, playing festivals, and recording a new album. This is a great credit to Bonnet - in a topsy-turvy world that … Continue reading →

Gig review: JEFF SCOTT SOTO – The Tivoli, Buckley, 23 June 2014

Posted on June 24, 2014 by GRTR! HQ

Setlists.fm is a blessing and a curse. Notwithstanding the occasional inaccuracy it has proved a boon to lazy or forgetful reviewers but also a useful tool to evaluate the worthiness of a tour. And recently I used it to decide … Continue reading →

Gig review: MAGNUM – The Tivoli, Buckley, 20 April 2014

Posted on April 21, 2014 by GRTR! HQ

Virgil & The Accelerators - Buckley, 21 November 2013

That anyone can pay £20 to see one of the UK’s most enduring rock bands, and then gawp at their phone looking at the football results, may say more about the state of music in 2013 and – moreover - … Continue reading →
