Duke Garwood at the Lexington, Pentonville Road, 26 February 2023

Widowspeak at Studio 9294, Hackney Wick, 15 November 2022
The gigs keep coming this November! After the Pitchfork Music Festival, I had Monday off before venturing out east to see Widowspeak at Studio 9294, a new venue for me. I’ve been to Hackney Central enough times, to see bands … Continue reading
Julia Jacklin at the Roundhouse, 11 November 2022
Julia Jacklin is an Australian singer-songwriter in the indie-folk vein, who I’ve liked ever since I first heard her debut album Don’t Let The Kids Win in 2016. We caught a glimpse of her show at End of the Road … Continue reading
