Gig review: Chris Miggells at Sherwood Observatory
Sun 27 Apr 2025At the age of 12, Chris Miggells began to play the piano – something which was encouraged by his parents to keep him out of mischief. From that point on, the Mansfield composer fell in love with the instrument, channelling his synaesthesia into writing classical works and performing candlelit concerts across the county and beyond. With word out about his incredible talent, Chris brought “The Piano Experience” concert series to the recently renovated Sherwood Observatory for three sold out shows in their new Planetarium. A candlelit concert under the moon and stars? This is one show we simply couldn’t miss…

Gig review: Primal Scream at Rock City
Tue 15 Apr 2025Primal Scream are stone-cold legends of British music.
