Midnight Lion
I know that the title sounds like it should be about the next Apple operating System release but they are actually a band from Glasgow (there is definitely in why so much music comes from North of the border but that’s for another time). Have a listen to the below, reminds me a little of Snow Patrol which …
This was Going to be about Justin Currie but…
Last night I went to see the excellent Justin Currie (ex Del Amitri) play the equally excellent Arlington Arts Centre on the outskirts of Newbury and I had intended this to be a post about that but actually I am going to blog about the people that pay for a ticket, get pissed during the …

As part of the build up to the release of The Producers album an amazing video has been put up …
WeyHey!
It’s been years since I have been to anything that you might consider a music festival, although Hard Rock Calling might count I guess.
