Alright folks, it’s that time of year again. The countdown to Christmas has finally begun (hurrah!) and that can only mean one thing: it’s time for a bit of Michael Bublé. Now I’ll be honest. As a massive Bublé fan, the whole ‘he only shows his face at Christmas’ thing gets old, and fast. This… Continue reading Album Review / Nobody But Me – Michael Bublé
It is hard to review an album such as this due to the circumstances in which it was released, but I have given it my best efforts. Back in February of this year, Kris Leonard, River Reeves, Tomas Lowe, Jack Dakin, and their manager Craig Tarry, made headlines after passing away following a crash in Sweden on… Continue reading Album Review / Viola Beach – Viola Beach

However, their collaboration with up-and-comer Izzy Bizu and latest single 'Someone That Loves You' is a slight departure from the likes of 'The… Continue reading Single Review / Someone That Loves You – HONNE & Izzy Bizu
One only has to utter a single name and everyone is aflutter: Adele. The last few years have been wonderful for Miss Adkins, having received critical acclaim from every outlet possible the minute debut album, 19, was released in 2008. It is not that often you get to witness true talent on a firsthand basis, so… Continue reading Live Review / Adele @ Genting Arena (30.03.16)
On his latest tour, James Morrison descended on a slightly more unusual venue: Birmingham’s gorgeous Symphony Hall. Considering how on previous occasions, the singer-songwriter has sold out academies and arenas across the country, it was a surprise decision, but one that worked surprisingly well. Support came in the form of up-and-coming acoustic singer Kelvin Jones,… Continue reading Live Review / James Morrison @ Symphony Hall (14.03.16)
