Adrian Edmondson & The Bad Shepherds
This may not have been a comedy show that offered lots of laughs, it was certainly very entertaining.
Reviews / Arts
Matt Okine: Broken Diamond House
Okine may make comedy hay out of dick jokes and well-placed swear words, but there's also an intelligence at play here that with some tightening up will one day produce a brilliant festival set.

Jack Dee: An Evening With Jack Dee
Though Dee spends his life scowling, the strength of this show should give him plenty of reason to smile.

Album Review: Suede - Bloodsports
Bloodsports immediately reminds the listener why Suede at their best was always such a dynamic presence.

The Kransky Sisters: Piece of Cake
The three part harmonies and unexpected twists to the songs will delight music fans as much as The Kransky Sisters delight comedy fans.

Josie Long: Romance and Adventure
When Long talks about her desire to rail against the Tory Government but to not get bogged down by the frustration it leads to, it feels like a lesson the Australian left might need come September.

Like the gratifying Poetry Of The Deed, Tape Deck Heart works so well because it’s personal.

Album Review: Fall Out Boy - Save Rock And Roll
Though there’s still plenty of Wentz’s neat, sassy little phrasings in the lyrics, this album is a long way from the band’s teenage emo beginnings.

Jimmy Cliff delivered a masterclass in putting on a memorable, exuberant live show.

Live Review: Bonnie Raitt, Mavis Staples
Raitt’s voice is one of country music’s best and it was a privilege to see both of these women.

Live Review: Fall Out Boy
This show was everything the die-hards would’ve wanted and the energy feeding back to the band even from the very back rows at The Metro was incredible.
