Amber Run: live and unplugged in your living room

It’s the same old drill – the lights go out, the room goes quiet and suddenly the band Amber Run, the group you’ve waited for all night, enters the stage, the stroke of a guitar accompanying the band’s entrance. It’s like every other gig you’ve been to before, with just one very important difference – you’re not in the room with them, but sitting on … Continue reading Amber Run: live and unplugged in your living room

Live Review: Tom Rosenthal @ Islington Assembly Hall, 10.12.2019

Tom Rosenthal has always gone against the current. His uniqe style of indie folk-pop has always been very self-contained to mainly acoustic songs that make you dream of long car rides under a starry night sky… Continue reading Live Review: Tom Rosenthal @ Islington Assembly Hall, 10.12.2019

Louder Than Words festival, day 3

9:30am – I wake up and quickly publish the previous day’s report to our very own ldnmagazine.com. The four-cheese pizza I had at 2:00am this morning may have been necessary, but it’s certainly taking its toll now. 10:30am – I meet Abi in the lobby and guzzle down orange juice and a latte before getting into an Uber. 11:00am – We are en route to … Continue reading Louder Than Words festival, day 3

LTW ‘Ed Sheeran Is Shit’ review (2)

“I do not give a fuck who Ed Sheeran is!” The comic strip come to life Everett True (aka Dr Jerry Thackray) stands before a small audience consisting of music fans, journalists and avid coffee drinkers. Yet, from within his everyman-ish stature booms a voice, wilful and incensed and eagerly proclaiming the words ‘Ed Sheeran is shit!’. Around the room, people cease their conversations. The … Continue reading LTW ‘Ed Sheeran Is Shit’ review (2)

Louder Than Words festival, day 2

10:30am – I arrive in Manchester, the city that saved music (although that title is often attributed to Seattle). This is the home of Joy Division, The Stone Roses, The Charlatans, Oasis, The Smiths, The Chameleons and New Order, to name the obvious. I am stoked to say the least. 11:00am – My fellow student Abi and I have a social media debriefing with our … Continue reading Louder Than Words festival, day 2
