I never expect much from February, but this has been a great month in Blue Roses world.
Back to the 90s with incredible gigs from Ash, Cast and James.
Discovering a fantastic new band and getting to know them better, I can’t wait to share my interview with Magic Seas. Watch this space.
Celebrating album culture with the book launch of Keith Jopling new publication, Body of Work, which is now at the top of my reading pile.
Highlight
The Listening Room – a collaboration between Q Acoustic and DIY Magazine, with guest Tim Burgess, at The Lower Third, Soho. An intimate venue, a chat about music, and listening to records on exceptional equipment – the sound was amazing. More about this to follow.
Earworm of the month
Live The Dream by Cast. Not a new song but one that I have newly discovered. I find it really uplifting and inspirational. Just be yourself and live your dream.
Coming up next month…
Looking forward to throwbacks/anniversary tours with Paul Draper of Mansun, The Feeling and Scouting For Girls. But they are all towards the end of March so I’m hoping to get more gigs or other music events lined up as well!
