Hope & Social–Fibbers, 23/10/15
With no more preamble than a quick, “Two, two” into his microphone, Boss Caine kicked off tonight’s proceedings with what I assume was a new song – I don’t remember hearing it before – singing about yearnings to return to … Continue reading
Hope & Social–Fibbers, 22/11/14
There’s something “old-style” about Carnabells – their shirts, hairstyles (and sideburns), the frontman’s guitar and, most evidently, their music all combine to produce a live set that could have stepped straight out of some 60s/70s hybrid. Imagine the Monkees, if … Continue reading

Hope and Social – Stereo, 15/09/10
Time for a midweek outing to Stereo to see a couple of favourites… …but first, it’s Marbled, who I last saw supporting Fish at The Duchess. I freely admitted that I wasn’t taking much notice that evening and my over-riding … Continue reading
