A journey across borders to explore a developing rock/metal festival in Nottingham.
GRAPHIC NATURE, BIND. & VAST SLUG
Rumours of the death of guitar music in general and metal in particular have been exaggerated. Again.
HOT MULLIGAN & BEAUTY SCHOOL
Time to get emo-tional in a hot and heaving Waterfront
Soccer Mum
Olly Murs
In short, Olly Murs at Thetford Forest was a blast. It was one of those gigs where everything just clicked – awesome music, great company, and a killer location.
NIK KERSHAW & SEB WESSON
Great set from an 80s icon
MODERN COLOR, BUG BATH & OVERSIZE
Better - far better - than staying in to watch the football.
Sting
A cracker of a 'Summer Night', in the beautiful heart of Thetford Forest. .
Royal Blood + Crawlers
Royal Blood wasted no time diving full throttle into head bangable smash hit “Out of the Black”, with drummer Ben even jumping into the crowd to open the pits himself.
UUHAI, HEDRA & SETTLEMENTS
Mongolian folk-metallers that put The HU in the shade
HIS LORDSHIP & SNAKEMILK
Take That at Carrow Road or garage rock ‘n’ roll from His Lordship at the Arts Centre? It’s pretty obvious where Pavlis is gonna end up.
Czech National Symphony Orchestra
A wonderful full-orchestra evening
FAT DOG & BOROUGH COUNCIL
There’s high expectations of Fat Dog but they deliver and then some.
A CERTAIN RATIO & ELLEN BETH ABDI
Post-punk/punk-funk legends prove themselves worthy of their status... and then some.
THE FALL & RAVENOUS HOUNDS
Ex-Fallers show the pretenders what it is all about.
Swim School & Ziggarettes
Swim School once described themselves as ‘Tesco value Wolf Alice’ on this occasion however it’s clear to see they will become more they just peers with Ellie Rowsell and co, Swim School can go to the very top.
THE HIVES & BAD NERVES
The Hives still deliver the goods to a rocking LCR.
Brown Horse
I’ve seen many, many bands since I’ve moved to this Fine City but tonight’s experience is quite possibly the greatest yet.
Goat Girl
Whilst we may have only had ten songs and a set that lasted forty-five minutes it was a set full of beautiful noise and powerful sounds
Damian Lewis
A memorable evening on so many counts.
Sam Lee
The quality of the sound at the Art's Centre is always good, but it takes accomplished musicians to make it great. A tad more rockier and jazzier than on previous outings, his faultless ensemble complemented Sam Lee's distinct vocals superbly.
Declan Mckenna
It’s refreshing that Declan always sets out to make a statement with his music, and it resonates so strongly with young people. He has come so far since his debut single released at just 16, and I can only expect bigger things to come.
New Noise : Damp Matches
Guana Batz, Graveyard Johnnys & Stage Frite
An early nite but it’s a cracker.
Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness
The overall ethos of the band seems to be: any difficultly, no matter how horrendous and unjust, should be met with as much positivity and energy as it is possible to muster.
The Mary Wallopers
The endurance of much traditional music is linked to its ability to tap into deeper social and psychological currents. The Mary Wallopers may well be the most skilful and committed exponents of this approach currently active.
bdrmm, DEK
Feeder
Feeder are greeted with rapturous applause as they enter the stage and launch immediately into opener ELF. It buzzes with excitement
Yard Act & Gustaf
Funky, post-punky rock ‘n’ roll is alive and well. And Pavlis didn’t mention The Fall once.
Bill Vine - Turbulent Flow
A masterful and moving performance of Bill Vine's latest composition
Spiers & Boden
A scintillating and crowd-pleasing set from folk legends Spiers & Boden, and wonderful to see the Maddermarket Theatre filled to the rafters
CROWBAR, INHUMAN NATURE & KULK
Heavy music is alive and well.
Echo & The Bunnymen and Erica Nockalls
Not as legendary as the reputation suggests and McCulloch thinks but far from bad. Erica Nockalls was superb, however.
Big Country / The Icicle Works
The seventh stop on Big Country's celebratory 'Return to Steeltown' tour.
Gilla Band and The Psychotic Monks
Two challenging and inventive bands, one of which Pavlis falls in love with, the other of which he fails to connect with.
Joanne Shaw Taylor
There may be bigger, seated, venues on this string of UK dates, but for the intimate, close-up feel of Joanne Shaw Taylor's brand of the blues, Norwich's Waterfront is going to take some beating.
