Man, was it hot! The sixth edition of Love Supreme Jazz Festival was bathed in wall to wall sunshine for its duration, a veritable cauldron of baking summer sounds and party vibes emanating from all corners of the expanded site, in the pitch perfect setting of the expansive, gently rolling…
So, it turns out the smoking area of Green Door Store has the capacity to be quite pleasant. Who knew? It helps that on this occasion (Saturday 30th June), it was populated largely with Brighton’s femme, queer (and otherwise) creatives. So, rather than stinking of Tuborg and cigarettes, the much…
After taking the stage to the climax of the theme from Rocky, Eels’ set is something close to explosive from the off. They walk on, tearing into covers of ‘Out in the Street’ and ‘Raspberry Beret’. It’s striking how fun it must be to be in Eels.
On a sweltering Saturday night, Brighton was lucky to play host to Kristin Hersh, who performed at Duke of York’s Cinema. The Atlanta-born musician has been making music since the early 80s and has, to date, released ten solo albums, along with her contributions to bands Throwing Muses and 50…
With festival season well underway, London’s Finsbury Park has become hope to this year’s Community Festival, a day-long event with arguably one of the best line-ups for any indie lover across the entire country this year.

“If you ever want to start a record label…don’t,” joked Jacko Hooper, addressing the crowd in-between performing at the launch show for Folklore Volume One, the first release from Hooper’s new record label. Joking aside, Hooper and co seem to have done a pretty good job organising their EP and…
Whoever’s decision it was – whether it was new owners Live Nation, promoter John Giddings, or indeed Solo Music Agency – to move the Isle of Wight Festival to Glastonbury weekend, it turned out to be a masterstroke. Not only was the sun blazing for four days straight with not…
If you ever thought Miles Kane was just Alex Turner’s right hand man in The Last Shadow Puppets, you were very, very wrong. His packed out Concorde 2 show – probably the most packed I’ve ever seen it – was testament to this as he was welcomed like a hero…
London four-piece Indigo Husk, who we first laid eyes on with their impressive support slot for Will Joseph Cook back in September, are an indie band that wear their heart on their sleeves. This is clear from their Green Door Store performance that, it is fair to say, was far…
