Faces Reunion Gig at the O2
More than a few of the dedicated Faces fans in the audience were dubious of Hucknall taking over vocal duties
Cargo Summer Yard Party
Tucked away under the railway arches in the heart of Shoreditch, amongst the images of Banksy art, is Cargo.
End of an Era: Iconic Astoria Closes for Good
They say everything comes at a price, and the development of the capital’s new Crossrail Link is no exception. But it’s not the £16billion budget I’m talking about; it’s the loss of one of London’s best loved, legendary live music venues: The Astoria.
The Mighty Boosh Rock O2 Arena This Week
The Mighty Boosh finally have their name up in lights – the lights of the O2 Arena, and not before time. For ten years Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt have slowly built up a cult following for their BBC3 show. But in the last year, their rise to comedy stardom has been nothing less than [...]
IAMX at Astoria 2
Astoria 2 was rammed with devoted fans at the weekend, all with high expectations for this, the only UK date on IAMX’s Unheard tour.
Drifting and Tilting at the Barbican

Although not performing, he was present, and the whole concept was essentially his brainchild: an evening of music and dance, which saw a number of excellent singers perform some of his most recent, and to be honest, less accessible works.

Anything Goes with Antony Elvin
It’s for reasons like this that I love London. Sunday night, upstairs at The Star pub in Tufnell Park, Anything Goes Sunday Club takes place. Hosted by the lovely Hatty Ashdown, sporting clown’s feet and a rather grand stuffed crow, the evening does exactly what it says on the tin.
Maison Bertaux: Soho’s French Hideaway
The blue and white striped awning; the window filled with cakes, pastries and tarts; the champagne bottles; the elegant pink organza…this could easily be a scene in Paris. But Maison Bertaux has been supplying London with its elegant fare since 1871, making it the oldest patisserie in the capital.
Last Shadow Puppets at Hammersmith Apollo
Hammersmith Apollo was the perfect venue for the 16-piece orchestra and dramatic lighting of last night’s vintage performance. The Last Shadow Puppets, brainchild of Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (The Rascals) is clearly so much more than a side project.
