Gig Review And Interview: Saint Raymond At Rescue Rooms

After a hiatus from the music scene Callum Burrows aka Saint Raymond’s much anticipated return to the stage in-front of a hometown crowd was certainly a night to remember. He’s not done a gig in a few years and so this hometown crowd certainly had something to prove. Taking to the stage Callum admitted it’s the most nervous he’s ever been for a gig and it showed in the first track We Are Fire. But he soon got over the nerves of not only playing for a hometown show but playing both his new stuff and some old gems. Everything … Continue reading Gig Review And Interview: Saint Raymond At Rescue Rooms

Album Review: George Ezra – Staying At Tamara’s

It’s a big year for George Ezra, back on tour and gracing us with new music; Staying At Tamara’s. Four years after his debut album Wanted On Voyage had major success (he was 2014’s third top-selling artist), and with the pressures of releasing an even better record, Ezra has certainly delivered. In the 18 months it’s taken to release Staying At Tamara’s (named after he rented a room for a month in Barcalona owned by someone named Tamara), Ezra has thrived through the success of previous releases such as Budapest and Blame It On Me.

Wondering Why – The Covasettes

Lead vocalist Chris Buxton, 21, describes it as “the most confusing love song of all time.” True to his word the lyrics certainly tell the tale of liking someone who keeps all their eggs in one basket. The band (Matt Hewlett, Jamie McIntyre and Matt Buckley) … Continue reading Wondering Why – The Covasettes

The boy from Nottingham is back! With the backdrop of his home town behind him and performing at one of his favourite music venues, Jake Bugg was back in the city last night for his Solo Acoustic Tour. The only support act of the night was fellow Notts based talent Georgie, originally from Mansfield. She did a good job at prepping the audience for Bugg by grabbing their attention with stunning vocals. She didn’t need anyone else on stage with her while she performed and really got the audience going by singing a cover of Be My Baby by The … Continue reading Review: Jake Bugg at The Royal Concert Hall
