Live Review: Morrissey – The London Palladium, London 09.10.2022
By Adrain Peel The queue down Argyll Street for Morrissey’s sold out gig at the London Palladium on Sunday, October 9, was the longest I’d ever seen for that particular venue – and the longest I’d seen since the line to see Her Majesty the Queen lying in state last month. Such is the admiration …
Live Review: Morrissey INEC Arena Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney Kerry 24,09,2022
Morrissey kicked off his Irish/UK tour with a date at Killarney’s INEC Arena, oddly opting for only one Irish date by not including a Dublin one. So as it was only one date and in Killarney this meant many attending the show had to travel and travel they did from all corners of Ireland and …
TRACK: MORRISSEY – KNOCKABOUT WORLD
Morrissey returns with his first album of original music since 2017 with Low in Highschool. The third single to be taken off his new album I Am Not A Dog On A Chain is a dreamy orchestral pop delight with lyrics that only Morrissey can write.

Live: Dark Mofo Festival – Costume

Remembering: Bradford’s Ian H Interview
I suppose you’d say they were nearly men, Bradford. And just writing that makes me feel a little sad. The Blackburn five piece, Ian H. (Ian Michael Hodgson, vocals), Ewan Butler (guitar), John Baulcombe (Keyboards),Jos Murphy (bass guitar), and Mark McVitie (drums), released a handful of singles and one brilliant album Shouting Quietly, as well …
New Music: Boz Boorer “Girl From Atlanta” (featuring Eddie Argos)
Out of a long tradition of slightly tongue-in-cheek, somewhat naive, cockney-geezer ditties that I associate with ‘classics’ like Bill Wyman’s “Je Suis Un Rock Star”, Wreckless Eric’s “Whole Wide World” and even Blur’s “Parklife” comes Morrissey’s current favourite guitarist and co-songwriter Boz Boorman with “Girl from Atlanta”. The major difference is, of course, is that …
Not Forgotten – Bradford – Shouting Quietly
It was pure luck really. I was browsing in my local record and cd emporium, The Left Legged Pineapple in Loughborough (R.I.P) and as I delved through the 12” I saw it. There was nothing remarkable about it, an old man on a one colour (like weak magnolia) sleeve, but I kept coming back to …
