Live Review: David A Jaycock / Cracked Hands – Bishops House, Sheffield 24.09.2023
It was hard to believe there was anything going on at Bishops House at all when I arrived (admittedly, late- it being my first time there and estimating set times etc), with the 15th century house on the edge of a park in Sheffield shrouded in darkness and with no audible noise emanating from it. …
Say Psych: Live Review: Golden Hours @ Aatma, Manchester 25.09.2023
Based between Brussels and Berlin, Golden Hours is comprised of past and present members of Gang Of Four, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Tricky, The Fuzztones and The Third Sound, to name just a few.

Kevin’s chameleon like desire never to bask in past glory or get complacent has seen him (literally) wear many hats through his Dexy’s …

Live Review: Delilah Bon / Valerie Rose – The Academy 2, Dublin 23.09.2023, plus gallery and set list
At a packed Academy 2 in Dublin this week, Delilah Bon worked the crowd into a frenzy from the get-go with her brand of bratty riot grrrl punk. All three members of the band seemed to give it everything, not once letting up the pace. Well, almost. For a brief moment in the set Lauren …
Live Review: PiL & Meryl Streek – O2 Ritz Manchester Sept 22nd 2023
John Lydon has history with Manchester. The two Free Trade Hall gigs with his band Sex Pistols, back in the summer of 1976. Those spawned a whole host of punk and thereafter, post-punk bands and of course the bands first live TV performance on Tony Wilson’s Granada TV show, “So It Goes”. There’s a good …
