Alter Bridge, Shinedown, The O2, London, December 21 2019
Beautiful in parts, phone lights a plenty, it was a mesmerising performance but after building the atmosphere from the off with high powered rock music, the acoustic segment lost the opportunity to deliver the killer blow and bring home the show triumphant.
Skillet, Devour The Day, LIVE at O2 Empire, Shepherds Bush, London, December 10 2019
The ‘at one with the crowd’ continued through ‘Whispers in the Dark’, with Cooper telling the audience “You people are hurting my ears! This used to be what America sounds like.

Battle Beast, Cyhra – Live at ULU, London, November 30 2019

The phrase ‘lose yourself in the music’ would also be appropriate as there were several moments when I found myself, eyes closed, listening to the music feeling like I was the only person present in the audience.
The 69 Eyes with Lacrimas Profundere and Diamond Black, The Garage, London, November 21 2019
It’s amazing that their music manages to sound classic and at the same time new and fresh across the board – perhaps their songs are vampires too – timeless and immortal!!
Raiding the Rock Vault – Bringing Las Vegas to London, interview with Todd Kerns
