Reviews

"I give this show four out of five pint-sized beers."

"As his fingers side across nylon and metal strings – aided and abetted by some sexy-looking stomp boxes – the shimmering sounds invite us to drift into some intricately fingerpicked shoegaze atmospherics, grunge and psychedelics."

"It was Hutchison himself who centred the whole thing, a refreshingly honest and unpretentious figure whose humility and grace kept the audience in the palm of his hands."

"This night was truly a testament to the fact that, while flashback tours as such may be an easy money grab, there will always be a select group of people that fondly remember the first time they heard their “favourite song”"

"There’s something to be said for a solo singer who splits with the band he’s played with for a quarter of a century and then says, ‘Fuck it, I can do it without you’, and does just that."

"Drenge, ten points. Eardrums, zero."

"It was a loud, energised and strangely modest show, and Shadow survived a sloppy set-up to deliver a masterclass in contemporary bass music."

"The London three-piece (with a fourth member appearing as needed) lean heavily on reverb to create their ethereal soundscapes which, when combined with the warmth of the room, cause some eyelids dangerously close to closed in a few pews."
