Big Thief at Hammersmith Apollo, 27 February 2020
Big Thief are one of my favourite bands at the moment. I love their combination of folk, Americana and indie with an off-kilter element which reminds me a little of Radiohead. Singer Adrianne Lenker has a fragile but versatile voice … Continue reading

GospelbeacH and Danny George Wilson at the Betsy Trotwood, Clerkenwell, 1 March 2020
On Sunday I went down to Clerkenwell, early evening, to see a gig at the Betsy Trotwood pub which had been organised by a friend of mine, Paul. I think I’m keen on music, but I’m absolutely not worthy in … Continue reading
Fontaines DC at Brixton Academy, 25 February 2020
Dublin band Fontaines DC have had a pretty meteoric rise over the past year, powered by their terrific album “Dogrel”. Anyone who has any liking for punk and indie must surely find “Dogrel” irresistible, and that was reflected in the … Continue reading

Two kinds of Indie: The Murder Capital at SWX Bristol; Gengahr at EartH Hackney
I’ve been to two concerts this week: one incredibly good, the other a bit disappointing. It’s prompted the thought: how many indie bands were at their best with their first album? All those ideas that built up over their youth … Continue reading

A trio of concerts: Julia Jacklin, Fat White Family and Aldous Harding, 3-5 December 2019
A little burst of concerts this week: three in succession from Tuesday to Thursday. A bit of beauty and the beast, musically speaking. Julia Jacklin and Aldous Harding, with Fat White Family in between. Julia and Aldous are two great … Continue reading

Pumarosa at EartH, Hackney, 27 November 2019
Pumarosa are a band I like a lot. I first saw them play at Latitude in 2016, where they made an excellent impression. Later that year I saw them at Village Underground in Shoreditch, where they put on a dazzling … Continue reading

Maisie Peters at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 14 November 2019
I first came across Maisie Peters’ music in February this year after reading an interview with her on the Line of Best Fit website. She came across as a singer-songwriter with a twist. The article likened her to, amongst others, … Continue reading
Honeyblood at the Garage, Islington, 31 October 2019
Honeyblood are on a UK tour at the moment, and last night they played to a lively crowd at the Garage in Islington. It was Hallowe’en of course and could have been our last day as a member of the … Continue reading
