Album Review: Newton Faulkner – The Best of Newton Faulkner… So Far
Newton Battenburg Faulkner has long been a ray of genuine guitar-toting sunshine in the UK music scene. His percussive guitar style, impressive vocal range, and lovable on-stage personality has garnered Faulkner a loyal and committed following, and so it is with great anticipation that one settles down to enjoy the 31-track odyssey that is The […]
Live Review: Benjamin Francis Leftwich @ The Cavern
Benjamin Francis Leftwich’s music is not precisely what one thinks about when they hear the words “nightclub on a Saturday night”. The whole concept sounds contradictory. And yet the combination of the two that I got to see at Cavern on the 6th of April was surprising and charming, in the best possible way. The […]
Album Review: Ward Thomas – Restless Minds
It goes without saying that England’s country music scene is only really just finding its feet, with the genre having primarily been relegated to Nashville despite having a degree of popularity in the UK. Considering this, Ward Thomas’ claim that they are Britain’s biggest country stars might not be untrue. Their previous two albums peaked […]
Live Review: Tom Walker @ the Lemon Grove
On Saturday 20th of October Tom Walker stopped by the Lemon Grove on our beloved campus to perform for us, before moving on to bigger British cities and his European Tour. I had the chance to interview him on the day of the concert which gave me the opportunity to compare the person with the […]
An Emotional Journey – Interview with Robert Garbett

You’ve got quite a few […]
Live Review: Nick Mulvey @ Lemon Grove
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 […]
Live Review: Beans on Toast @ Exeter Phoenix
Beans On Toast. A simple, unassuming English moniker, wholly suitable for Jay McAllister the cult folk performer from Essex. Beans is a one of a kind, if you don’t believe me then maybe the fact that he rocked up to the phoenix stage barefoot, encapsulates his unpretentious personality. The night celebrated Independent Music Week- as […]
Live Review – ExTunes Live at the Firehouse 25/9/16
As an iconic venue for live music, I entered the Old Firehouse with high expectations for the night’s musical acts. Flaws Above were set to perform a never before seen purely acoustic set, stripping back original songs to their core. The atmosphere was building, and casual pizza-eaters quickly dispersed to leave a small crowd of […]
Album Review: Michael Kiwanuka – Love & Hate
2012 was a spectacular year for Michael Kiwanuka. With his debut album Home Again garnering critical acclaim and a nomination for a Mercury award, as well as winning the BBC’s Sound of 2012 poll, he was propelled into the spotlight as a fresh face in the world of acoustic soul. With justified comparisons to Marvin […]
