Live Review: Long Division Festival. Wakefield, 10-12.6.2016
Long Division 2016 launched itself into the weekend with post-punk outfit Gang of Four.

As is tradition from previous years, the support for the evening comes from an up and coming local …

Live Review: Camden Rocks Festival, 4/6/16
Camden Rocks Festival as a whole is much like a live set from a band that is hotly tipped to have the craziest show. It’s chaos; running around, things happening every which way you turn, with the constant feeling you’re missing something because there is just SO much happening. It’s also absolutely excellent, with so …

Live Review: Patrick Wolf / Calpernia Addams at Rescue Rooms, Nottingham, 10/05/16
Patrick Wolf has been quiet for a long time. Not just in his hiatus from music, whilst he collates an anthology of poetry, notes and art to be published for his fans, but also on stage tonight at Nottingham’s Rescue Rooms.
