Join Steve in listening to this new album and let him know your thoughts!

A lovely special from Darren showcasing the talent that makes up the vibrant Medway music scene! Particularly liked Clap Hands by The Echo Heights.

Excellent adaptation of A Christmas Carol at the Old Vic. Brilliantly staged with a fantastic performance from all the cast. Christopher Eccleston was outstanding as Scrooge. Loved the bell ringing! No 69 of 2023inpictures

A rather super mix of tracks from Mikael. Pick of the mix for me is Sleepwalk by Waves Crashing (although it was a close run thing!).

Another great show from Steve, with a fab mix of tracks. Stand out for me was the always excellent Spiritualized and the gorgeous Medication.

Playing catch up again, so now playing...

Great show by one of my son’s favourites, @hozier.bsky.social tonight at Resorts World Arena. Such an amazing voice as well as being engaging and entertaining. Fantastic support from The Last Dinner Party too, catch them if you can! No 68 of 2023inpictures

Last gig of the year and another new venue to add to the list. @hozier.bsky.social and The Last Dinner Party at Resorts World Arena.

Pinched from the other side from Defected Records, but this. And a big shout out to those in the @indieover40.bsky.social community for all the fantastic new music you've introduced me to this year. You're all important to me!

Got this book as a present a verrrrrry long time ago and finally got round to reading it. Occasionally challenging to stick with but worth it for the ending. Remember it is all the mail... No 65 of 2023inpictures

For my fourth gig in a week in my fourth venue it was another of Ethan’s favourite bands, Area 11 at The Asylum, Birmingham. Loud, bouncing and full of enthusiasm, it was a performance to behold. Superb support from JW Paris and Our City Fires too. My ears are still ringing! No 56 of 2023inpictures

Third gig of the week and third new venue! What a great night it was. One of Ethan’s favourite bands, Poets of the Fall brought the energy to Rock City and had a blast celebrating 20 years. Love it when a band enjoys themselves! No 59 of 2023inpictures
