DCFC & FRabbit
The Death Cab gig earlier this year in Birmingham had rather left me wondering whether it was wise to see them again quite so soon. But despite the slightly downbeat aspect of a Sunday gig, the disappointment of Brum was … Continue reading
Sigur Ros at Colston Hall
The two openers for last nights extraordinary set were either new or I didn’t recognise them – but how wonderful they were; things of rare beauty, soaring aurgasmic affairs which set the scene for the whole of the evening. I … Continue reading

Fleeeet Foxxxxxes at the Anson Rooms
After missing FF on their visit to Bristol earlier in the year (gnash gnash) I made sure to get tickets for their return to Bristol at the Anson Rooms. The lad, his mate (looking uncannily like Shaggy from Scooby Doo) … Continue reading
Elbow – The Great Hall , Cardiff
This was our second Elbow gig of the year, the first (and excellent) at Colston Hall strangely went without mention in my jottings. The rather misnamed ‘Great Hall’ at Cardiff University was the venue for this show, part of their … Continue reading
Bon Iver at the Trinity
Bristol Trinity is a funny old venue; decomissioned church in an ‘edgy’ part of town, disappointingly low ceilinged given its original structure but none the less a pleasingly ‘intimate’ venue as Messrs Bon Iver mentioned at last nights sublime show … Continue reading
Death Cab in Birmingham
Not an auspicious lead up to a show – trailing down the blocked motorway to Birmingham, arriving just late enough to hear the last support band song (no, don’t know who they were), and having to go on my own … Continue reading
Band of Horses at Shepherd Bush Empire
Oh I have been waiting for this! First picked up on BoH via podacst on KEXP (not surprisingly given their prior residence in Seattle) where there are a number of podcasts with BoH content. I am now rather hooked, along … Continue reading
The National in Birmingham
What a joy – The National in Birmingham. OK the Academy in Brum is not my favourite venue (and this time especially sticky underfoot) but who cares when they put on such a good show. I still find it hard … Continue reading
Guillemots at Bristol
I think that this was probably our fifth time of seeing Guillemots – including Oxford Zodiac (RIP), Cardiff Uni and Bristol Academy,(not quite sure why I feel a slight twinge of embarassment here). Been a fan since first hearing them … Continue reading
Band of Horses/Tyler Ramsey
Just having a little peek at Tyler Ramsey’s Myspace and noticed – joy of joys – that he will be supporting Band of Horses in London when we trek up the M4 to see them in June. I seem to … Continue reading
