James Blake at the Roundhouse, 5 February 2018

Posted on February 11, 2018 by John S

Last Monday, James Blake played the Roundhouse in the round. All seating, which was the difference to usual. After all, the Roundhouse is round! It was a concert I just couldn’t miss, so I paid a bit over the odds … Continue reading →

Posted on April 8, 2017 by John S

I managed to pack in three concerts this week, while work was pretty intense too. I was pretty pooped by Friday evening – it took all my energy to watch the Masters on the TV. I’m writing this on a … Continue reading →

Radiohead at the Roundhouse, 26 May 2016

Posted on May 28, 2016 by John S

The first Radiohead concerts in the UK since 2012, and in London they chose to play three nights at the Roundhouse. It’s a great venue – maybe my favourite – but it only holds about 3,000. So fewer people will … Continue reading →

The Waterboys at the Roundhouse, 3 February 2015

Posted on February 5, 2015 by John S

The Waterboys are essentially singer/guitarist Mike Scott and a very slick backing band of mostly American musicians these days. Their heyday was the second half of the 1980s and early 90s. I’ve always had a soft spot for them, because … Continue reading →

Last concert of the year, back to the Roundhouse, where I’ve had some great moments in recent times, notably Prince and 3rd Eye Girl. This time it was the mighty Augustines, one of the most energetic rock’n’roll bands on the … Continue reading →
