We may sound like a broken down record but there really is nothing like live music, seeing a band or artist up close, not knowing what song will come next, being caught up in the moment, it is just the absolute business. Of course, we are now coming into the main festival season which can […]

Concert: Shack/ Gerard Love Venue: Glasgow Saint Luke’sDates: 1 May 2025 Being a support act can be a raw deal at times, the definition of a real hard gig. Often playing to a half empty hall at best with those in attendance either nattering away, catching up with pals or disengaged entirely with their noses in their phones. Both

Concert: The Mary Wallopers Venue: Brixton AcademyDates: 29 March 2025 The sense of anticipation as I and many others felt as we climbed the steps out of Brixton Tube Station was palpable. Exit stage right and then walk a couple of hundred yards to the (in)famous Brixton Academy where Dundalk’s finest, The Mary Wallopers were primed to play their

Concert: Pale Blue Eyes Venue: Glasgow, Flying DuckDates: 05 April 2025 Genetic research suggests that the mutation that caused the phenomenon of pale blue eyes, originated in Northern Europe. It is, therefore, highly appropriate that the U.K. has produced an indie band of the same name. Not that they are just any upcoming combo of course. This writer has

Artist: The Skids Venue: Dunfermline, Glen Pavilion Dates: 28 February 2025 When it comes to a tour, the best show is always likely to be the home town gig so when The Skids announced a date at Dunfermline’s Glen Pavilion, of course Into Creative were going to make the journey through to Fife to see the punk stalwarts in

Concert: The Bluebells Venue: Glasgow BarrowlandDates: 1 February 2025 Athens may have the Pantheon, Rome the Colosseum and Mexico City has the Estadio Azteca but to me, none can beat nor compete with the Glasgow Barrowland. It is our Mecca, our place of worship for all things music, that sacred place where we commune with our sonic saviours. They

Artist: Lloyd Cole Venue: Glasgow Royal Concert HallDates: 21 January 2025 One of the best festivals in Scotland is the annual Celtic Connections which showcases the best in folk, roots, world music and a whole lot more. This year was no different and heralded a homecoming of sorts for Lloyd Cole, known for his music with The Commotions and

Festival: Rockaway Beach Venue: Bognor Regis, ButlinsDates: 5 January 2025 Day 3: First out of the blocks on the final day, Sunday, was Jaws The Shark. Not only were they the solo project of artist Olly Bailey, they had my favourite band name of the weekend. Indie rock with attitude, explosive guitar riffs, the occasional fuzz feedback and a sound

Festival: Rockaway Beach Venue: Bognor Regis, ButlinsDate: 4 January 2025 Day Two: As is often the case at Rockaway Beach, gig goers will venture into the town of Bognor Regis, exploring the local area and our bracing walk along the seafront in search of an early morning breakfast certainly blew away any cobwebs from the previous night. Back at the

Festival: Rockaway Beach Venue: Bognor Regis, ButlinsDate: 3 January 2025 Rockaway Beach turned ten years old, a special anniversary and the festival has certainly grown (up) during the past decade. It is now bigger, better and bolder. There was much chatter on various fan forums in the lead up to the weekend with people questioning whether the new purpose built
