900 Spaces Review
Saturday, February 21st, 2009
A review of 900 Spaces at The Prince Albert, 19th February 2009. “…All the core components of a good party band are here, from the synths and angelic voice of lead singer Emma Lou, to the style of bassist Joe-Leigh Branton who dances like Franz Ferdinand and the considered pickings of guitarist Adam House. They have a good forthcoming run of gigs and this should tighten the group dynamism further.”
Glissando Review
Monday, February 16th, 2009
A review of Glissando, at the Brighton Freebutt, 2nd February 2009. “Elly May Irving sang, sat at the piano with her eyes closed and seemingly wrapped up in her own world. At the back of the stage Glissando’s other half Richard Knox plucked at a guitar, hidden in the shadows with his head bowed. The song, Floods, drew to a close with the whole band… singing the lines together, a haunting crescendo that rang around the half-empty Freebutt”
Hjaltalín live review
Friday, January 30th, 2009
Review of Hjaltalín at the Freebutt Brighton on Jan 21st 2009…”The icing on the cake is ‘The Boy Next Door”. I nearly cried during this point, its graceful and full of exquisite adorn. “You’ll be fine,” sings Rebekka. I have to be, because there’s a celebration on the horizon tonight in the name of living.”

Beachdown festival cancelled
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
Just days after twittering to say that the event was “NOT cancelled!” and encouraging fans to buy day tickets, the organisers posted a message on the festival’s website last night, saying that slow ticket sales and financial problems have made it impossible to go ahead.
Busking in Brighton
Saturday, May 30th, 2009
More fun and vibrant than a Hare Krishna march, this is The Half Sisters – self appointed “busking queens of Brighton”. Squishing folk and pop together into a cuddly, dancing monster of a band, they’ve drawn big crowds and a lot of attention playing shows around town…
Great Escape Festival Brighton 2009 Preview
Sunday, May 10th, 2009
Selected acts to watch at The Great Escape Brighton 2009. A weak line up, made worse by some truly horrific additions. It was hard to pick the best, because there simply aren’t that many good bands playing.
