John Osbourne's uncanny ability to draw on universal truths by discussing the particular is the key to all his work, and has never been better than in this outing. What might seem like a wistful nostalgia for times past is underscored by a commentary on the changes that happen in all our lives, as the person we once were becomes as strange to us as the people we once knew
As the night drew to a close, Grennan treated the audience to an encore like never before… He asked everyone to go outside so he could meet us all, this is where he treated us to two more song performed onto of a van!!
Another great night at a great venue courtesy of of Pica x4
Who would’ve thought Mongolian folk-metal and Irish psych-folk-drone would make for such a fun evening?
Paul Weller has been praised, and rightly so, for continually reinventing himself as time and tide moves on. It would be downright silly to be singing about Eton Rifles or a Bomb in Wardour Street at his time of life........I can’t argue with any of that.
Tom is like a ball of energy, racing around the stage despite admitting to only have eight hours sleep in five days.
"intense hardcore hits Norwich for a visceral, cathartic and most of all FUN Monday night"
The grindcore legends and their openers deliver the goods in feral fashion.
The gig solidified them as underrated British musical icons that deserve to be upheld for years to come.
...the concert commences, immediately filling tha vast hall space with the spine-tinglingly soulful vocals that have come to define Giddens' live performances.
Maybe a bit punk-rock cabaret for the purists but damned good fun nevertheless.
It may be a new chapter in Quireboys history but by the gods they still rock.
If the Aussies ( Hockey Dad) do decide to return to Norwich in the future, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for a hugely enjoyable night.
...the band were really polished, they gelled together very well to create a tight performance-proving their professionalism and obvious experience
I left the LCR feeling lifted and so empowered. I am so glad that Maisie Peters exists for those of us navigating life and love in our twenties, but also anyone else that could be impacted by her artistry.
It's an astonishing sixty years since vocalist Colin Blunstone and keyboardist Rod Argent first set up shop, and on the evidence of their performance at Epic they are still fighting fit. Rod Argent's keyboard skills were as nimble as ever, while Blunstone's fine voice was impeccable all night. For men in their late seventies, the combination was little short of astonishing.
All in all, London Calling proved to be an excellent tribute to a totally legendary band, doing a great job at keeping The Clash’s music alive and kicking.
Devoting a great chunk of your set, especially for a band that has such a powerful back catalogue, to so many songs off of the new album, as yet unreleased, might be thought brave to the point of foolhardiness, but hats off to them for having the confidence and commitment do to so.
