The Courteeners @ Q The Music Club Live at Hard Rock Cafe

Whether The Courteeners will find their place amongst the greats that adorn the walls is yet to be seen.

Errors, So So Modern and Race Horses @ The Scala, London 04/03/2010

Errors unleashed their blend of new wave acid house on a mesmerised following at London’s modest sized Scala, but not until after an intriguing support line-up.

Hot Chip @ Birmingham Academy, 20/02/2010

The added dimensions afforded by live instrumentation were the real highlight of an amazing set.

With their collection of wonderfully crafted and re-worked tracks, band members from the best musical stock and a charismatic front man, Erland & the Carnival have every box ticked

The Violet May – The Stockroom, Sheffield 13/02/2010

The Violet May are noisy and melodic with just the right amount of rough around the edges.

Delphic @ The Tabernacle, London 26/01/2010

Delphic are still clearly a work in progress and given a few more high profile performances they should feel comfortable with their new found status and deliver the performances their album promises.

Their deep southern droll might sound out of step with the current scene, but their live show is an unrelenting performance which will leave you speechless.

Mumford & Sons – Winter Fair, Trafalgar Square 02/12/2009
