Bob Bradshaw “Live in Boston”

March 26, 2025 Peter Thompson 0
A worthwhile addition to songwriter Bob Bradshaw’s body of work, this live (in the studio) record highlights how songs can evolve over time. Back in early 2000, ‘Bob Bradshaw’ was a Planning Officer employed by Weatherfield […]

Great Grandpa “Patience, Moonbeam”

March 26, 2025 Sebastian Reyes Turner 0
After a prolonged absence, the five-piece band from Seattle returns with renewed energies and a darker, sincere new album. As the story goes, following the success of ‘Four of Arrows’ in 2019, there was an attempt […]

Jerry Leger “Lucky Streak – Latent Lounge, Live From The Hangar”

March 25, 2025 Paul Kerr 0
An excellent solo performance of songs plucked from Leger’s back catalogue. Fast becoming a favourite on the UK live circuit, either solo or with his band The Situation, Canada’s Jerry Leger at times seems too good […]

Joshua Burnside “It’s Not Going To Be Okay”

April 24, 2026 0
A searing display of grief through ten bare songs. How we all cope with grief is complex and individual, though the ability of energising one’s sadness through music is a powerful and positive one. Belfast’s Joshua […]
