Beth Gibbons @ Hamer Hall
I’m glad I had a chance to see the elusive Portishead lead singer live, but I wish I found the concert more emotionally engaging.
New Music 10/2024 – The Creole Choir of Cuba, Beth Gibbons
Joyful and impassioned Caribbean gospel; bewitching solo debut from the Portishead singer.
New Music 07/2024 – Sofia Kourtesis, Romy
Though I’d never describe myself as a massive dance music fan, these two albums both moved me emotionally in their own way.
Sleater-Kinney @ Forum Theatre
Though I couldn’t help the mixed feelings that came with the change of line-up, Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker delivered an intense, blistering set on a Sunday night.
New Music 03/2024 – Gina Birch, Lankum
Adventurous debut from godmother of feminist rock; a dark, atmospheric and intense take on traditional Irish folk that got me to learn a new genre, doom folk.
The Breeders @ Forum Theatre
Awesome start to the new year of live music, with a fantastic show from old favourites that cut through my Monday lethargy.
