ALL SWEET, NO BITTER When: 19 June 2019 Where: Broadcast Support: Nova Scotia The Truth First an appreciative nod to support act NSTT – her rapping was strong and her minimalist dance moves a joy.

THE WORM TURNS When: 16 May 2019 Where: The Art School Support: Squid; Objectified Knowing very little about the band before tonight I didn’t really know what to expect – what we got was a full on Swedish anarcho punk rock delivered with relish, humour and energy in spades. I am one of those unusual people who like brass in their rock/pop and so was in my element with VB’s sax...
