Manic Street Preachers
Gig Review: Manics, Charlatans & Ash – Audley End Some gigs just land perfectly – good(ish) weather, great company, and a triple bill that reads like your mid 20s CD collection. Audley End, still the best outdoor venue in the country, once again came up trumps. The view: immaculate. The vibes: impeccable. The car park exit: an endurance… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://versomedia.me/manic-street-preachers/">Read More »</a></span>

A new year, a new venue, and a new format of gig. On this occasion, Hammy and I headed to The Apex in Bury St Edmunds to catch John Power’s one-man show, Cast, The La’s and Me. A first visit to The Apex, and it certainly impressed—modern, well-equipped, and with excellent sound quality throughout.

Another night, another trip down nostalgia lane — this time to Ipswich Corn Exchange for The Lightning Seeds, my third time seeing them in just ten months.

What is punk? It’s more than just music—it’s a movement. Born in the 1970s, punk was a gritty, snarling backlash against the establishment, a DIY rebellion that spat in the face of conformity. So when a show comes along aiming to celebrate that ethos, you’d hope it stays true to those roots. Ironically, Punk Off didn’t quite get… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://versomedia.me/punk-off/">Read More »</a></span>

Hillsborough
Author’s Note (2025):This article was originally written in 2002, long before the findings of the 2016 Hillsborough inquests, which ultimately ruled that the 96 victims were unlawfully killed due to gross negligence by the police and emergency services. The post reflects my thoughts at the time, shaped by public sentiment, media coverage, and the limited information available prior… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://versomedia.me/hillsborough/">Read More »</a></span>

ITFC – The Class of ’81
Written in 2018 As supporters of Ipswich Town, we’re no strangers to the lows. In fact, we probably endure them more than most. That’s why we savour our moments of success longer than fans of other clubs—perhaps only Liverpool fans cling to the past more tightly. Some will say our greatest achievement came just 17 years after turning… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://versomedia.me/itfc-the-class-of-81/">Read More »</a></span>

Iain Maitland
Iain Maitland, a prolific author based in Felixstowe, has carved out a distinctive space in the world of psychological thrillers. His novels—The Surrogate, The Soulmate, and others—delve into the darker corners of the human mind, examining mental illness, obsession, identity, and buried family secrets. What sets Maitland apart isn’t just his gripping plot work—it’s the emotional truth beneath… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://versomedia.me/iain-maitland/">Read More »</a></span>

My Sporting Life
I wasn’t born to be an athlete. Short, fat, blind as a bat—three things that don’t exactly scream “sporting prowess.” And yet, I’ve had my moments. Some tragic, some triumphant (ish), all of them very, very real. From football humiliation to a snooker miracle, here are the not-so-greatest hits of my sporting life. The Causton Hawks Debut (and… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://versomedia.me/my-sporting-life/">Read More »</a></span>

Non Competitive Sports Days
Originally published on the now defunct Suffolk Sports Forum – July 14, 2010 It’s that time of year again: school sports day. And once more, the nation is split. Should it be competitive or non-competitive? Frankly, the debate is nonsense. Who ever thought it was a good idea to remove competition from sports day? It’s political correctness run… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://versomedia.me/non-competitive-sports-days/">Read More »</a></span>

1970’s
Our second Vinyl Club session had a clear theme: albums from the 1970s. Or at least it was clear to everyone except Jimmy, who turned up with a Semisonic LP from the late ’90s. After realising his error (and the numerous texts he ignored), he dashed off and returned with a suitable replacement. Food fuelled the music: chilli… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://versomedia.me/1970s/">Read More »</a></span>

Deacon Blue
This one wasn’t in the 2025 gig diary. But when Jimmy dropped me a message less than a week before showtime asking, “Fancy Deacon Blue in Cambridge?”—I couldn’t resist. With tickets secured and a pint or two behind us, we set off on what turned out to be a night of memorable music, wayward navigation, and a gentle… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://versomedia.me/deacon-blue/">Read More »</a></span>

Top Ten Sporting Moments
A few years back, I compiled a list like this—but it’s long gone. Time for a fresh version. No list like this is ever definitive. People will always ask: “Why not this one?” or “That’s not even a sport.” Fair enough. But this list? It’s mine. If you disagree—great. Drop a comment or write your own. Written early… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://versomedia.me/top-ten-sporting-moments/">Read More »</a></span>
