American Express Presents BST Hyde Park 2022
As my friend and colleague, Kieran White entered the beautiful surroundings of Hyde Park on what felt like one of the hottest days of the year we knew that live music would not be in short supply. The last day of the festival was headlined by Birmingham’s Duran Duran who chose this evening to not only celebrate an incredible 40th Anniversary but to also perform their BST debut AND their only London show of 2022. However, part of the overall experience of this festival and its charm for that...

Alan Clayson And The Argonauts, July 2019, Half Moon Putney, Putney, London, United Kingdom
This many years from their inception, this act could just be going through the motions in performance, becoming a kind of tribute act to themselves. However…the individual character of the ensemble and moreover its material imbues shows with an electricity that few veteran crews can match.
Cornbury Music Festival, July 2019, Great Tew Park, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

Morganway / Sirena Grace / Me & Deboe (Discovery Talent 2 Showcase), May 2019, 229 Club, London, United Kingdom
For some time I had been promising myself I would check out Norwich act Morganway, encouraged by their PR and management. Tonight is a show I can make – a tad steadily post my surgery – so I head to town and find a sofa.
