Amyl and the Sniffers at Heaven, Charing Cross, 2 April 2019

Rival Sons at the Roundhouse, 6 February 2019
Last Wednesday, I went along with my friends Dave and Tony to the Roundhouse to witness some ROCK! The band were Rival Sons, who I’d never heard of, until Dave suggested them. Apparently Jimmy Page rates them, and that’s no … Continue reading
