  • A guest 100% for The Bluetones · Sat, 26 Sep 2015

    The best concert I have ever been to!!!!!!!!! Thank you for an exceptional gig! Would of thought with my age that the only gig to look forward to would be the type of disco that was playing after the Bluetones, but the boys returned, put on an amazing show and made all my musical dreams come true. I was 4 when you came out and I've followed you ever since. Come to Oxford again next time :)

  • A guest 100% for Tony Visconti · Mon, 29 Jun 2015

    i really enjoyed the gig and thought that the atmosphere was brilliant. My 27 year old son came with me as my gig buddy and he enjoyed it too. I thought the musicianship was excellent and I particularly liked the light hearted way the few mistakes were dealt with - a truly fantastic evening.

  • A guest 40% for Alkaline Trio · Sun, 28 Jun 2015

    The whole lineup for the evening where great, however the sound in the venue was terrible, especially for Ladwagon, they were so Lound you couldn't even what they were singing. I've seen Alkaline Trio a fair few times and I have to say they were disappointing tonight. It was as if they couldn't be bothered and had no interest in being there, which is a shame. A couple of the bands has mentioned that the turnout was much better the night before resulting in a better show, however it is not our fault if the turnout wasn't as good the second evening and regardless Alkaline Trio could have tried to appear to make an effort. A real shame all in all.

  • A guest 100% for The Stranglers · Sat, 14 Mar 2015

    Just had a fantastic night out at the O2 Academy, Birmingham. The Stranglers supported by The Rezillos. The Brummie audience were really lively, particularly in the mosh pit. Much drink thrown around, crowd surfing. It was a sell out. It's the most exuberant I've seen The Strangers. Jet Black even came on for a few numbers. The audience went wild! Brilliant!
