We’re welcoming Holoman back to the UK. He’s our incredible, Georgia-born singer, and the gig is our way of celebrating his return to this little island.
The whole gig is being recorded and filmed, and the footage will...

Mr Blue Sky
If you’ve got a spare hour, watch this documentary about Jeff Lynne. The man has done so much, and he still seems to love music more than anything. Something to aspire to!

Perfecting my (studio) tan
(Photo: Matt Money)
For the past two weeks, I have mostly been holed up inside a dark, windowless room, doing repetitive tasks and eating unhealthy food. Sound familiar? If you’re a musician, it can mean only one of two things: agoraphobia rehearsing or recording. For me, it was all rehearsals.
