Vetiver, Islington Academy, London, 17th December 2019

January 13, 2020 Jonathan Aird 0
The Islington Academy is one of London’s smaller venues, a room that revels in its awkward layout that surely aspires to non-Euclidean geometry, its poor lighting, and its really sticky floor. If it were a pub […]

Dean Owens & The Southerners, Sounds In The Suburbs @ The Glad Cafe, Glasgow, 15th December 2019

December 19, 2019 Paul Kerr 0
The irony of this cross border trio appearing in Glasgow in the wake of an election which saw England and Scotland diametrically opposed was not lost on Dean Owens tonight. The prankster in him surreptitiously arranged […]

Andrew Combs + Kirby Brown, the Lexington, London, 10th December, 2019

December 18, 2019 Mark Underwood 0
Andrew Combs isn’t someone who can be accused of sticking to a tried and tested formula in an attempt to court popularity. Quite the contrary. Since he burst onto the music scene in 2012 with the […]

Elanor Moss “The Knife, The Needle”

September 7, 2026 0
