SIMPLY RED - Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham (Wednesday 1st October 2025)
WHAT A FANTASTIC CELEBRATION
Mick Hucknall has still got it.
That voice -powerful and incredible and sounds the same as it did in the 80's, if not better.
Great show with hit after hit.

FOOTBALL CLICHES - Komedia Brighton (Monday 6th October 2025)
AN ABSOLUTE TRIUMPH
Love the pod and this show effortlessly transported it onto the stage in Brighton.
The show is obviously very well planned, but comes across just like a casual chat in the pub with some (very pedantic mates) who love football.
Great fun.

NEW MODEL ARMY - O2 Institute Birmingham (Thursday 9th October 2025)
TRIUMPHANT RETURN
Whilst it has been a long time coming, the return of NMA was worth the wait.
A set of new and old classics that the audience lapped up.
If you get the chance, grab a ticket and go and see them.
You won't be disappointed!!

SKINDRED - The Patti, Swansea (Saturday 18th October 2025)
AMAZING SHOW
Benji and the boys brought the party.....as usual!
It's not just a gig but an evening of entertainment.
I've seen them 3 times now and each show is unforgettable!
Good job 👏 Looking forward to seeing you again next year

SUZANNE VEGA - Glasshouse International Centre for Music, Gateshead (Sunday 19th October 2025)
GREAT NIGHT
Suzanne had a lovely support in Katherine Priddy, with very well-written songs with interesting stories.
The use of Gerry Lennard on guitar for Suzanne is why I enjoy the evening so much, he brings a wide spread of sounds to her brilliant songs and voice.
I've seen Suzanne a few times over the years, and she has never disappointed.
With regards to the venue, I love it. Good view from all seating areas, great facilities and the staff are so friendly and helpful.
10 out of 10 for the whole night.

PALE BLUE EYES - South Street Arts Centre, Reading (Friday 17th October 2025)
BRILLIANT! A FANTASTIC BAND AND A TERRIFIC SHOW
Their songs and playing are full of great energy, fantastic songs and terrific power.
The show in Reading was the fourth time I’ve seen them and they never disappoint.

CERYS HAFANA - The Gate, Cardiff (Saturday 4th October 2025)
A TRULY ATMOSPHERIC GIG
The Gate is an excellent venue.
Cerys was genial and talented, and their songs made me float.
Wow.
A great career awaits them.
The double bassist added some depth and ambience.
Thank you.
And a shout out to the support, Ivor Woods.
I felt like I was catapulted back to the 80s.
Amazing.

WISHBONE ASH - The Robin, Wolverhampton (Sunday 5th October 2025)
NOSTALGIA REVISITED
Wishbone Ash served up a treat, for us wanting to reminisce the heady days of the 70's.
They delivered a set full of excellent guitar riffs, ably supported by flawless bass and drums.
Go see them!
