What I’m Listening to: Gossling 1. Tove Lo - 'Habits (Stay High)' "This track has some really interesting melody ideas. It is so catchy and her voice has the most incredible tone to it."

Review & Photos: Rae Morris @ Village Underground 16/09/14

   Quietly taking to the stage, sitting behind her keys and gracing the crowd with ‘Grow’, Rae Morrisbegins the evening in modest and soulful style. Perhaps a telling choice of song, Morris – for many years performing alone with her keyboard, now with a three piece band – transforms as the night progresses. Singing above a minimal backdrop of subtle tones and harmonies with ‘Way Back When’,…

Review & Photos: James Bay @ St Stephen’s Church 10/09/14

Hoards of people begin to gather outside St Stephens Church, Shepherds Bush, and slowly trickle into the pews ahead of the second night of James Bay’s sold out show. James Bay is a talented singer-songwriter who is solidifying his fan base across the UK and US after a hugely successful run of support slots with Tom Odell, John Newman and Kodaline. Not bad for 23 year old hailing for Hitchin,…

Communion’s annual festival of live music descended on Shepherd’s Bush for the fourth consecutive year earlier this month, and again acted as a reminder of the label’s current tastes featuring names like Peggy Sue, Rhodes, Luke Sital-Singh, The Felice Brothers, Jack Garrett and Farewell Jr.

One of Bushstock’s biggest draws is how fuss free and laid back it is, the venues are a hair’s breadth…

There’s a certain charm to attending a show armed with limited knowledge of the artist and their work. Listening with fresh, untainted ears leaves you open to fully immerse yourself in the performance with no prior judgment or expectations.

Paul Thomas Saunders and his band The Fever Dreams opened their set with a track that first featured on his 2012 EP, Descarte…

Review: Jenny Wilson @ Soup Kitchen 18/02/14

If you know anything about Jenny Wilsonyou’ll know we didn’t go into the Soup Kitchen last week expecting anything short of fantastic. As little as one song into Wilson’s set we could see something unique and brilliant in the songwriter and her band’s delivery on the night. A tight knit and enthusiastic audience gradually gravitated closer to the stage throughout Wilson’s set, something the…
