BACK IN TIME FOR BIG WOWS When: 25 April 2019 Where: Broadcast Support: Hyyts Band Previously Seen: 9/12/15 supporting Django Django at Roundhouse, London The spirit of 1980s electro synth pop is alive and well in the 21st century and one of the best keepers of the flame is female trio Stealing Sheep.

When: 7 November 2018 Where: O2 Academy Support: Oli Fox Band Previously Seen: 21 March 2018, Saint Luke’s A relatively quick return to Glasgow for Norwegian songstress Sigrid – and as I predicted in my review of her March gig she is playing a much bigger venue moving up from the 350 person venue to (almost sold out) 2,500 O2 Academy.

Where: Saint Luke’s When: 1 November 2017 Support: Ross From Friends Little Dragon, from Gothenburg in Sweden, have over the course of five albums, the latest being Season High, proved themselves to be quality purveyors of electronic dance music. It is then perhaps a little sad, in terms of reflecting a weak appeal to...
