REVIEW: Neil Duncan at the Reading Festival
10:25am Tue 26 Aug 08
ATTENDANCE at one previous festival does not make me a veteran, but I headed to Reading this year, not as a festival-virgin, but with certain realistic expectations and knowledge about the lie of the land. |
REVIEW: Basingstoke Live Fringe, Thursday, Light Lounge
8:48am Fri 18 Jul 08
ANOTHER opportunity to sample the acts playing on one of the main stages at the weekend took place in the Light Lounge, kicking off with Johnny Virgo, a very versatile solo artist who featured on the recent 100% Reading double CD. |
REVIEW: Live music, Tap'n'Spile, Newbury
5:06pm Wed 9 Jul 08
IT WAS a wet miserable evening to be winding along the A339 to Newbury, but I was just one of a number of Basingstokies looking to check out the talent in a neighbouring town. |
REVIEW: Live music at The Star, Guildford
10:30am Wed 11 Jun 08
WITH two of the billed bands having recently played Basingstoke, I felt duty bound to head for The Star in Guildford to check out whether they really were as good as I originally thought. There was a rather meagre crowd, unusual for a Saturday night, but those of us who were there anticipated having a great time. |
REVIEW: Live music at The Light Lounge
9:32am Mon 2 Jun 08
THE Light Lounge was even more packed than usual when I arrived, on account of this being something of an experimental 'all ages' show. The bulk of the younger clientele were there to see the first band up, coming from Tadley and called Mundane Mondays. |
REVIEW: S.O.P.H.I.E weekender at The Great Western
5:34pm Mon 28 Apr 08
TWENTY-ONE year-old Sophie Lancaster was kicked to death by a group of teenagers because of her taste in fashion and music. Stamp Out Prejudice Hatred Intolerance Everywhere (S.O.P.H.I.E.) seeks to commemorate Sophie's short life by highlighting and eradicating mindless violence from society as far as it is possible. |
Amy Winehouse to headline Bestival Saturday night
10:48am Wed 9 Apr 08
THIS year's Bestival line-up is super special - and it has just been announced that trailblazing chanteuse Amy Winehouse will bring her all-conquering, eclectic blend of soul, jazz and R 'n' B to Robin Hill Country Park in the Isle of Wight for the Saturday headline set. |
