Tweet Always nice to get out of the big venues and see a band I’ve not heard off – although the Mispers are one of the bands that sadly make you realise the bands you were listening to several years ago are now influences for people who are much younger than I am…. Their sound [...] show less

Tweet So, other than the bloke coming on stage 20 mins late, wearing what looked like a stab vest and a big skirt, a perfectly normal gig. Music really wasn’t my cup of tea, but made for alright shots and captioning solo artists is always a winner. One slightly cool thing was the amazing number [...] show less

Tweet I first heard these guys when ‘Such Great Heights’ appeared on 120 minutes, an old TV show that used to run 1-3am on a saturday morning (back in the day when I had insomnia and Sky TV.) Alas, tonight was the first chance I’d ever had to see them live. And wow, they didn’t [...] show less

Tweet Well, it was 2010 when I last saw these guys live, but given their album cycle usually takes four years that’s definitely not a reflection of not wanting to see them again, just a lack of gigs! The Sunshine Underground are absolutely one of the best live acts around, managing to pull off Oasis-esque [...] show less

Tweet If the second day of ATP I’ll Be Your Mirror being ‘postponed’ wasn’t evidence enough that all was not well then the distinct lack of any people for all but 2 of the artists was pretty hard to miss. I’d headed down early to catch ‘The Field’, an electonic artist I’ve been listening to [...] show less

Tweet Well, definitely the smallest gig I’ve shot in a while. No pit, two colours of light and an artist I’d never heard of. Still, such is the joy of new clients – you don’t get to lull in your comfort zone! It was actually great to get back into the kind of venue where [...] show less

Tweet For some reason, before the gig I was scanning James’ wikipedia page and much to my abject horror, ‘Sit Down’ was first released in 1989. This made me feel old. I should not have worried. Never fully rewarded with the success they deserved – Chesney Hawkes denied them the No1 chart spot for Sit [...] show less

Tweet Yes, he is dressed as a goth pope. No, I don’t know why. In fairness, that is pretty much the only thoughts I had about the music on offer from the three warm up shows – I’ve no idea why people listen to it. Weirdly though, the pope-fronted ‘Ghost’ (including a slightly creepy ‘good [...] show less

Tweet Apparently the were big in 1999. Other than that, not a great deal to say. Just one of those gigs I felt distinctly underwhelmed. Average tunes, average lighting and average stage presence.     show less

Tweet Seems Mr E has taken a leaf out of the Mogwai book of blagging tracksuits! Although he went one step further and seemed to have had his entire band grow similar beards and have similar haircuts to him, which was novel. Still a brilliant band, and such a brilliant demonstration of the merits of [...] show less
