Its an album bursting with energy, with

Now, you’ve probably not heard, but a gentleman by the name of Ed Sheeran seems to have found himself in the middle of a bit of a brouhaha. Unless you’ve been hiding under a really large rock (and let’s face it, who could blame you?) you will be more than aware of the tale of how Seattle rapper Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran’s huge US tour, following demands from Massachusetts squillionaire Robert Kraft and, in a show of solidarity, the rest of the support roster deci

Whilst I’d like to think I am in the first flushes of my youth; the fact is that many might see me as a bit of a festival veteran. I’ve been attending festivals for nearly thirty years, albeit with a few fallow years around bringing up our little children. Even so, I’ve only tasted a tiny bit of what the UK festival scene has to offer, so I was excited to sample the wares of a new (to me) event, in the form of The Big Feastival.

It’s madness that they can headline a show to 2,000 people but haven’t yet released an album. There are, however, a number of reasons why they play to such large audiences, the

For the first time ever, I made it to a gig at Kelvingrove Bandstand, given the number of years I lived in Glasgow this is an embarrassing admission but it’s an oversight I’ve now, finally rectified. And what an act to debut with, ABC were one of those bands in the 80’s that made people dance, sing and smile. That’s a rare ability and one they still hold. The highly enthusiastic, if perhaps slightly older, crowd were clearly up for an evening in their company. The venue itsel

Electron have released their brand new single ‘Taken’ featuring guest vocals from Skindred frontman Benji Webbe. It is the latest single to be taken from the forthcoming album 'Is This Worth Living For?' out October 2nd. ‘Taken’ captures the pressures of life as they reach boiling point with its crushing riffs, pounding drums and dark synths, alongside the pairing of the aggrieved vocals and screams of Electron’s Jason Payne and the distinct ragga metal tones of Benji Webbe.
