Live Review: New Model Army / Zen Baseball Bat – The Ritz, Manchester 03.12.2022
It was refreshing to get across the Pennines fairly smoothly with almost no hold ups at all, a feat which I haven’t been able to achieve in the last eight or nine attempts of trying in recent weeks, I was also pleasantly surprised to find a fairly relaxed atmosphere amongst the Ritz congregation when I …

Live Review: Therapy? / Rews – The Parish, Huddersfield 02.12.2022
An old school gig in an old school venue (a bill with just the headliners and one support act in a room upstairs at a local pub), tonight Huddersfield’s faithful were welcoming Therapy? to The Parish and this gig had sold out shortly after going on sale, so it was surely going to be a …
Live Review: Over The Under / Mortal Chains / Nation Of Ruin – NE Volume Bar, Stockton 21.11.2022

Live Review: Amorphis / Eluveitie / Dark Tranquillity / Nailed To Obscurity – O2 Ritz, Manchester 24.11.2022
By the time I’d battled across the Pennines, in the now all too familiar tailbacks and gridlocks of the M62 and Manchester City Centre, I arrived at the Ritz just as the closing chords of the mighty Nailed To Obscurity were ringing out. I was absolutely gutted as I had been really keen to catch …
Live Review: Nightwish / Beast In Black / Turmion Katilot – Resorts World Arena, Birmingham 22.11.2022
Birmingham was being invaded by a trio of Finnish powerhouses tonight and what better way to get the party started than with the eccentric Industrial battering ram of Turmion Katilot.
