It is true to say that our first visit to the End of the Road Festival last year was without doubt the best music event (bar SxSW) we had ever attended. A superb line-up, brilliant layout, and festival goers who were there for the music rather than the ‘experience’ ensured three days of superb entertainment. It meant we bought tickets immediately they went on sale … Continue reading The End of The Road Festival: A Review
Today Barry-Sean and I head off, pop up tents in tow, to the marvellous End of the Road festival in lovely Dorset.

Passover The debut album from The Black Angels was phenomenal and became an instant favourite from the moment we first heard it. The follow up Directions To See A Ghost wasn’t half bad either. In fact it is to our eternal disappointment that we did not get to see them in their hometown on our trip to SxSW in 2009. Anyway, the muscular five piece … Continue reading New from The Black Angels
