      Jeff Beck is one of my guitar heroes, so it was a pleasure to see him play in Oxford, he is one of those players who performs at least as well as he records and only recording what he is interested in… I would love to have seen him at a venue as small as…

    I used to do a lot of gig photography, it was always good to go see bands for free and take photos at the same time. I haven’t done so much since moving back to Oxford, but I still do the odd gig. One of the guys I used to ride bikes with is now…

    I had heard of Duffy’s name, but not her music so was quite excited to see if she lived up to the hype! I wasn’t disapointed, I was truly wowed by it. Only got to do two songs in the pit instead of the usual three, there was a lot of blue light too! It…

They aren’t your average Barfly indie visitors, their first song dealt with why you shouldn’t slash your wrists. Why? It’s harsh on your…

    On Saturday 25th Febuary 2008 Sum41 played Cardiff University Great Hall, they are not a bad I have followed particularly closely in recent years. My only real memory of them was in my younger days listening to Fat Lip, alongside Blink 182. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I turned up for the…
