Live Review: Paradise Lost / Moonspell – Club Academy, Manchester 16.02.2022
As much as I ponder and try to get my head round it, I still can’t understand why two giants in the Gothic Metal universe were only gracing the small confines of the Club Academy here in Manchester tonight. They have both been high on the main stage at Bloodstock as well as gracing numerous …

Live Review: Half Man Half Biscuit – The Leadmill, Sheffield 11.02.22
By Peter Morgan HMHB’s last outing to Sheffield’s oldest existing Live venue, The Leadmill, was pre-pandemic and just after their release of what has already become a cult classic album “No One Cares About Your Creative Hub So Get Your Fucking Hedge Cut “, was a sell-out. Now, on a cold night in Feb after the world had …
Live Review: Saxon / Diamond Head / Girlschool / Uriah Heep – Apollo, Manchester 28.01.2022
So, the first gig of 2022 for me and it’s an absolute beast of a line up when it comes to a who’s who in the world of British heavy metal, each having put in a shift of over 40 years to date, mind blowing I know ! As the evening descended upon us and …
Live Review: Big Country / Harriet Rose Band, The Picturedrome, Holmfirth, 28.01.2022
A trip to a fantastic venue on Friday. Holmfirth Picturedrome is located in the middle of this countryside town, its a popular spot right next to the river and not your usual type of live concert setting. The room is acoustically excellent and the floor is set on a slope so wherever you stand you …

Live Review: Strange Bones / Calva Louise / Nova – The Leadmill, Sheffield 15.01.2022
Strange Bones and Calva Louise’s co-headline tour rolled into Sheffield treating The Leadmill to a kaleidoscopic feast of visual effects as high octane punk rock met electronic cyber punk insanity. Local rockers Nova, warmed up the Leadmill’s early bird attendees with an intense set of heavy progressive rock. Guitarist Tom Whitehead’s playing had an intensity …
Live Review: Enter Shikari – Mountford Hall, Liverpool 11.12.2021 plus gallery
Tonight, the disco is courtesy of Enter Shikari and there isn’t a person in the room who doesn’t want to be there. Whilst Dinosaur Pile Up & The Nova Twins are getting the crowd ready to for what’s in store, there’s an atmosphere in this student union hall that I haven’t felt in a while; …
Live Review: Gun / The Virginmarys / Gin Annie – Barrowlands, Glasgow 11.12.2021
“I belong to Glasgow, dear old Glasgow town”, they certainly do, and Glasgow belongs to them! The famous Barrowland Ballroom has seen the GUN play many times and will again as the band announced they have released tickets for 2022 already. GUN have always had a “swagger” and they back that up by playing sell out shows. Dante and …
