I am very much into my hard rock bands but I am not big on guitarists as a rule. Last night at The Railway, Ipswich. I got to see someone that I figure is in my top 5 of guitarist that I just love to hear playing Uli Roth. (Others that spring to mind are…

Karnataka – High Barn, Great Bardfield – 26/1/12
Firstly, praise for the venue, a lovely 14th Century barn. It is a great setting for a gig with good acoustics. As you drive to it, you wonder where a crowd will appear from as it is in the heart of Essex with only villages around it, but Karnataka still managed to draw a good…

Mask – Bar-Ginglik, Shepherd's Bush Green, London – 14 Oct 2004
This is the first gig I have attempted a review for in a long time. Mainly because I have a train journey home for the first time in ages. Mask are Marvin Ayres and Sonia Kristina. Sonia was in Curved Air and Marvin and I have been chatting to for years because he said "Hello"…
Karnataka – The Oakwood Centre Rotherham – 15 May 2004
It seem’s unlikely now that I will get around to writting a gig review for this one. It was an excellent gig though with 4 tracks I had not heard before. 2 I believe were on the new live Strange Behaviour album which I got on the night. Since the Oakwood is a very crowd…

Rick Wakeman – Out There Tour – 2003
Rick Wakeman – Spa Pavilion Felixstowe – 21 April 2003 We arrived with plenty of time at what used to be my local venue. The first thing that struck me as I walked in were the blue lights lighting up the stage. They were a good colour and they were nicely positioned with some atmospheric…
