Live Review: The Sheepdogs + The Commoners, Islington Assembly Hall, London – 5th December 2024

December 12, 2024 Jonathan Aird 0
A squally night, presaging the storms to come, led to a wet arrival at the Islington Assembly Hall.  It was a rushed arrival as well thanks to the vagaries of the Rail Network.  But the hall […]

Live Review: Blair Dunlop + Rob Nicklas, Newbald Village Hall, North Newbald, Yorkshire – 22nd November 2024

December 9, 2024 Graeme Tait 2
The Village  Hall, at North Newbald, in East Yorkshire is fast becoming one of my favourite venues, despite the 90 minute journey from home, as it consistently delivers some of the best live music on offer […]

Live Review: Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Eventim Apollo London – 25th November 2024

December 3, 2024 Lyndon Bolton 7
As with his albums, whether solo or with The 400 Unit, an abiding impression of Jason Isbell’s shows has been one of a continuing story. Obviously any show is going to contain a mix of old […]

Anticipation was high for Bonny Light Horseman – now with three albums to their name and with this year’s “Keep Me On Your Mind / See You Free” being to all intents and purposes a double […]

May 20, 2026 0

Bob Dylan, London Palladium, London 28th April 2017

Matthew James Lyons “Relics”

Reflective melodies from a modest and gentle Australian songwriter. Matthew James Lyons, or Matt as he introduces himself, comes across as a thoroughly decent and self-deprecating bloke. Couple this with the fact you can count on […]
