Support: Neil Hamburger Ooh a trip out of the big smoke. It was on the train that I get to Redhill actually and came back on the one that goes to Luton airport too. I didn’t see much of Brighton to be honest I just got off the train and headed for the seafront where… Read More

Support: Lauren Harris Trivium So I travelled again. This time to my second home Glasgow. I was going to stay in a mate’s house but that was too much hassle as he was in Edinburgh and I’d be too wrecked to be messing around. I flew to Prestwick and got the train in and checked… Read More

Support: All That Remains Firewind Deja Vu or what. So another day, another Dragonforce gig. Similar set up to night before, new trampoline girls (only two and at least a little less annoying and attention seeking than the night before). Tonight is meant to be Dragonforce’s 13th sold out gig in a row. I’m not… Read More

Support: All That Remains Firewind Well just over a month ago I saw these guys in Dublin, while I was home for the weekend, and Sarah came along. Even she enjoyed the show that night, I mean it is basically just high powered, fast cheesy metal performed with a cheeky grin. Now unlike in Dublin… Read More

Support: Lauren Harris Trivium OK so in Maiden terms I’m back in the UK. Over two weeks ago I flew with Bruce to Sweden and saw this tour for the first time (out of 6) and it was great(even after the burglary) and once again I was travelling out of London. This time it was… Read More

Support: Suicide Watch No Turning Back Cinders Fall So here it is the last EVER Stampin Ground show and the first time I’ve seen them headline. They slayed as support for The Haunted and Anthrax and have been a big fan since The Haunted show and this tour was announced BEFORE the split was so… Read More

Support: Psyko Dalek Dub Trio Sarah and I were up in Glasgow for some Xmas shopping so we had to get along to this Sarah is a big fan and only saw them at Uxfext this year. Again local support with Dub Trio. Missed the local boys but caught Dub Trio again a pretty muddy… Read More

Support: Last Stop Chinatown Dub Trio Didn’t really see much of the first lot. A local band seemed OK but nothing amazing. Dub Trio were different, a trio(hence the name) from New York with no vocals just guitar, bass and drums playing rock with Reggae/Dub backbone. Bass was the lead instrument but it was quite… Read More

Support: I’m not sure we skipped them staying in the pub till Sikth came on. Back in Redhill with young Gurdy and another Sikth gig and surprisingly another setlist. In theory this is separate from the tour they’ve just done and the London show was a special set so I suppose it’s not too strange.… Read More

Support: I don’t know missed them Back again in ULU, a week after Juliette Lewis. Nice venue and timing was better this time with me getting, my bag stowed and into the venue mere seconds before The Frames took the stage. The crowd was that strange(for me) crowd I only see at these “rock”, acoustic,… Read More

Support: I don’t know missed him (OK I did see him on stage but needed to go to the jacks, alright?) Ah David Kitt my girlfriend hates you but I adore you’re first EP and Album for their genuine subtlety and class. I have everything he’s done since then except the new album but I… Read More

Support: Fireland Back in Dublin to see Sarah and so decided to hang out and go see Dragonforce on the Saturday night. Was nice to be back in a venue I know really well. We got in early to make sure we saw Fireland. I’ve only heard one track of theirs an unmastered version of… Read More
