One of my personal favourites from the ‘Signal Fire’ album ‘All I Need Is You’ is given the acoustic treatment and sounded magnificent, with the vocals and the guitar bouncing off the walls of the church providing warmth and depth.

Leatherwolf unchained in London – Live at The Fiddlers Elbow, Chalk Farm, September 2 2017
“Rise Or Fall” from the eponymous titled album of 1987 sounds as fresh now as it did 30 years ago and reminded us once more what a good year for rock music that was. In 1987 rock ruled the airwaves.

Copious amounts of beer consumed help the vocal performance of the crowd and ‘Heavy Heart’ is given a unique backing vocal that (cough) works very well!

They appear like a modern ZZ Top, two at the front and one at the back, thankfully the front 2 minus the beards! The one at the back on drums, looking nothing like the two on guitar and bass.

Monster Truck, The Picturebooks, live The Electric Ballroom, 22 March 2017
Opening with ‘Why Are You Not Rocking?’ an ideal choice to kickstart the show, the crowd and the band decided early on that this was going to be a night to enjoy.

Departed, The Fallen State, with Liberty Lies – live O2 Academy 2, Islington, London, March 8 2017
