Tyler Ramsey + Alexander Carson, Bush Hall, London, 30th October 2019

November 6, 2019 Martin Fisher 2

Slightly bedraggled in appearance, holes and scuffs in the plaid shirt, Tyler Ramsey takes to the stage with minimal fuss. Seats himself, taking a while to tune his acoustic before intricately picking harmonics for the […]

The Lemonheads, Engine Rooms, Southampton, 17th February 2019

March 1, 2019 Martin Fisher 0

Promptly onstage mere seconds prior to 9pm  and offstage by 10 and playing a career spanning setlist of 25 plus songs in between, Evan Dando set quite a pace tonight. Pace and haste, perhaps not […]

Andrew Farriss “Andrew Farriss”

April 9, 2021 0
