Now it is time for the third and final instalment of my Nick Mulvey reviews and this time it is his performance in the Lemon Grove last Monday. Now, after talking to him and listening to his music, I had a feeling we were up for a humble and heart warming performance; I certainly was not […]
It Isn’t Over Now: An Interview with Nick Mulvey
On a grey and dull Thursday afternoon, I had the opportunity to ring Nick Mulvey and have a bit of a chinwag about his new album.

Album Review: Nick Mulvey – Wake Up Now
He is back. The man from Portico Quartet. The guy who gave us ‘Fever to the Form’ and ‘Curcurucu’. It is the one and only Nick Mulvey. Three years it has been since his debut album, First Mind, was released, and since then not only did he tour for two years, but he had a […]
Album Review: The Big Moon – Love in the 4th Dimension

The return of Downton: Catching up with the Abbey
The leaves on the trees are turning orange, the wind is getting colder, and I have started wearing my boots again which means only one thing – time for Downton! Downton Abbey is back for its sixth and final series (cue the tears from middle-aged women across the country) and, as Hugh Bonneville has promised […]
