Gig Review: FIDLAR at Rock City
Tue 21 Nov 2023If there’s one word for FIDLAR, it’s fun. I mean, with song titles like Max Can’t Surf, Wake Bake Skate and Stoked and Broke, it’s only natural to expect that you’re going to presented with tongue-in-cheek sardonism and whimsy...

Gig Review: Stereolab at Rescue Rooms

Gig Review: Tom A. Smith at The Chameleon
Fri 17 Nov 2023At nineteen years old, most musicians are only just getting started in their music careers – but Tom A. Smith is not most musicians. The young singer-songwriter from Sunderland was born practically with a guitar in his hand, learning how to play from the age of four and then incredibly playing his first ever gig at The Cluny in Newcastle, aged just eight years old. Eleven years on from that monumental first gig, we went to catch him at The Chameleon as part of his mammoth 34-date UK tour...

Music Review: Trio Gaspard at Djanogly Recital Hall
Thu 16 Nov 2023Founded in 2010, Trio Gaspard are one of the most sought after Piano Trios and are regulars at the Wigmore Hall and a host of famous European venues; this year, they also performed at the BBC Proms. They are currently involved in a project to record all of Joseph Haydn’s Piano Trios for their record label, Chandos, and have commissioned several modern composers to write Piano Trios as companion pieces for their recordings. Haydn’s Piano Trios are personal favourites of Tim Hill's, so he was very keen to hear them at Djanogly Recital Hall...

Gig Review: Creeper at Rock City
Fri 10 Nov 2023Nottingham may have been overtaken with the festive spirit this past week with the opening of Winter Wonderland, but in a dark room over on Talbot Street the ghost of Halloween was still found lingering. This is because Southampton-hailing goth-rockers Creeper had crawled their way to the hallowed halls of Rock City, bringing with them their uniquely theatrical live show. Performing fresh off the release of their critically-acclaimed vampire rock opera Sanguivore in October, the show promised to be a spectre-cle (sorry, not sorry) – full of high expectations and a little smidgen of dread, we went along to investigate…
