On a recent trip to the Norfolk Broads we spotted a board outside the Lord Nelson in Reedham advertising live music with Sylvanne – Singers and Musicians welcome, starts 8pm and so took the opportunity to drop in and check out the band and the venue. We strolled down to the pub at around 9pm and [...]

Daniel Maitland

Gig Events Guide Admin — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 19:57:59 +0000

I don’t know whether it was the tacos and chilli dipping sauce on my table, or his self-depreciating humour, that made me warm to Mr Maitland before he had played a note. But from the moment he got on stage to explain he had lost his harmonica this troubadour had the audience, and myself, in [...]

The Ting Tings are this year’s biggest indie success. The Ting Tings were hatched in The Islington Mill, a bohemian enclave of Salford, Manchester.

High Powered Rocket Boots

By Michelle Duffy

Thrown forward as one of the greatest self made singer/songwriters of the twentieth century, Elton John was, to most, that geeky, yet overly flamboyant looking guy in ’larger than life’ sized spectacles jumping wildly at a piano. Forever set in ebony and ivory along side the likes of Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder, [...]

By Michelle Duffy

Declan McManus was best known to his new wave following as that inventive, romantic and somewhat controversial songwriter who went under the name of Elvis Costello. When embarking on the adventure of analysis of one of his many albums, one must first have to assess which one of his vast album contribution to [...]

By Sharon White

In 1960s there was an R&B wave. Little Richard and Isley Brothers were the most popular musicians. Jimi did not feat in their company and couldn’t fully realize his potential.
