Coupled with the additional task of England vs Ireland at Wembley Stadium, tonight’s initial travel fears were subsided and after a relatively short queue, the stage was set. Opening band THUNDER are one of the most consistent live bands out… Continue Reading →
It’s back to the 70’s tonight and we could have been trooping into The Music Machine or The Rainbow to see some fresh new bands, reeking of patchouli and covered in beads. But no we were fuelled by beer rather… Continue Reading →
Vision On! The band opening up proceedings tonight at The Garage were The Red Paintings. Not knowing anything about them, I headed for the merchandise stand to get some clues. There was a dvd called “Seizure and Synesthesia” – sounds… Continue Reading →
