A review of the launch of Boy in the Blitz by Rev78, written by Andy Carlin, thanks Andy Rev78’s album launch was the first gig I’ve been to at Proud, the restaurant come club come gig venue (plus anything else they can seem to fit in the space!). Based in the old Horse hospital market [...]

The Pins at New Cross Inn

John Garner headed out at the end of last week to take a look at The Pins in performance, thanks for the review John. The New Cross Inn is not the ideal gig venue. It is slightly too small, especially for a band with as big a sound as The Pins. Due to a delayed [...]

Islington Boys’ Club and Vetoes at The Social

The Heartbreaks | Camden Barfly April 2010

I wandered down to Camden Barfly to take a listen to The Heartbreaks recently. They are a band who have a strong sound on digital, so I was interested to see if this transposed to a live performance. Parking was a cinch, I managed to land a space just nearby and the bar works well. [...]
