Upstairs At Ronnie’s
Been a while. Used to go here a lot. Best place in London for a musically accompanied, unexpected late night liaison – eh Susan? For its upmarket ambitions it was kinda grotty – in a good way. The staff were fun. Surprising really – they put up with a lot. The sight lines were all […]

‘Last Living Cannibal’ & ‘Corridor’ Shacklewell Arms – Gig Review
It was one of those days. I found out that the Alt-Folk night was cancelled because it was to be held outside – and this is England in spring. I had cycled over to east London for it, partly in the rain, so I figured as I’d come this far I’d find out what else […]

Climax Blues Band – Tribute or not?
Well. I loved the deep growling sound of Colin Cooper on ‘Couldn’t Get It Right’ way back when (mid Seventies, if you must know). Billboard winner too, at the time. So I grabbed the chance to see Climax Blues Band at The Forge last Thursday. Could be the last time they played, eh? Even took […]
‘Emma Smith: Meshuga Baby’ JW3 – Review
Let’s get to the point. This lady is an entertainer, a wonderful talent with a smile to fill the Albert Hall. Yeah, ok, so JW3 don’t yet know what jazz is, or how to fire up a loud speaker, or make a microphone work, but is that gonna phase our Emma? Nah. With an enthusiasm […]
Gazel at Borderline
Having had the privilege of listening to some of Gazel’s 2016 “Bone Key” EP before the Borderline gig, it was great to see just how well the opening number “You’ll be Mine” transferred to a live setting. If anything more atmospheric and haunting than on the recording, the sparse vocals, keyboard washes and pounding drums […]
