Biffy Clyro are no strangers to these shores, in fact they’ve regularly remarked that it’s almost a second home to them. And it usually feels like a sort of homecoming show when they play here. And this time was no different. In the wonderful surroundings of Belfast’s Waterfront Hall, Biffy Clyro were delivering a slightly more intimate affair than their …
Summer is gone and it’s pissing down as I bomb down the motorway en route to the infamous venue that is The Ulster Hall in Belfast. Why pray tell, well I’m glad you asked. There’s a lil’ old band from Cali-forn-i-a in town called Incubus and they’re ready to rock!
On a very pleasant evening in Belfast a large crowd starting filling into the iconic Ulster Hall to see an iconic band play the stage as tonight Europe are in town. Up on stage first was King King, a Scottish blues band that immediately made an impression as the lead vocalist and guitarist Alan Nimmo struts on in a fantastic …
A packed out Limelight Belfast was host to two fine veteran bands in the form of Girlschool who formed way back in 1978 in England and Rose Tattoo who formed two years prior in Australia.
STAGE 2 The Idol Dead There’s nothing I admire more than seeing a upcoming group like event openers The Idol Dead tearing through a set like its Wembley stadium. Judging by the amount of people in attendance on this the smaller of the 2 stages this 5 piece have already gathered a healthy fan base with their energetic stage moves. …
Custom House Square hosted a Punk extravaganza this evening, on a dark, damp evening in Belfast.
A later than usual opening still saw a mass of people queuing up at the doors of the Limelight for a gig to remember with the one and only Billy Talent playing Belfast along with their Dublin based support, Otherkin. The place was quite full as Otherkin came on, and they were not going to disappoint anyone. Its always difficult …
The Custom House Square slowly filled from 6pm when the gates opened and people of all sizes, ages, hues, styles and outlooks milled lazily in for one hell of a gig. Drink was drunk and food was eaten in the slow sunny evening in the middle of Belfast. This was a sold out concert and no wonder. None other than …
After a blistering set at Winterstorm festival at the end of last year there was no way I was missing tonight’s Graham Bonnet show in a much more intimate setting. Support tonight and for the tour comes from Gin Annie. I have been looking forward to seeing this band for a while and, with this their first Scottish show, I …
04 August 2018 The day was an absolute scorcher and so what better way to spend it than to go and see a band that delivers on its promise to “Rock in the Sun”, Dig Lazarus. Fresh from supporting Tequila Mockingbyrd’s these guys know how to put on a set that melts your face along with help from the sun. Opening up with White …
Having already heard and reviewed BKC’s amazing “Law of Attraction” EP I knew this was goingto be a brilliant night...even if the band were crapping theirselves beforehand.
It is a very special evening in Belfast and at the SSE Arena, as a capacity crowd await the sign of the doors opening so they may all troop into the Arena floor and take up their places in the seated areas. The excitement is really palpable as the friendly mass of gig goers begin to get restive. Tonight is …
On a rather pleasant Monday night what better way to pass the evening than with friends, rockers, metallers, and Ministry with support from Chelsea Wolfe? And indeed the Limelight played host to such a gathering.
Arriving in Belfast just two days after his erstwhile bandmate Mark Tremonti, Myles’ gig was going to be slightly different as it was a bit more unplugged than Mark’s. Yup, that’s right, Myles Kennedy was going to do this gig the old fashioned way(ish) and play an acoustic set. A bold move by Mr Kennedy. Inside the Limelight, what was …
You always have to pity the poor artist that has to open day 2 of a festival to a field of hungover, burnt to a crisp zombies!! THE LAST INTERNATIONALE had this unenviable task of mammoth proportions but undeterred and fronted by the immense vocals of Delila Paz this outfit from New York left a mark on Maidstone with some …
Set in the glorious surroundings of Maidstone’s Mote Park with its rolling Kent green land and huge oaks, this festival is set against a beautiful backdrop with 2 days of lovely sunshine without a raindrop forecast, what could be better!! Kicking off Day One! GUN were the first band on the list to check out and this enduring band from …
