Never Enough Notes is the brainchild of Kimberley-Marie Sklinar. Kim’s favourite bands are We Have Band, The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Wild Beasts, Death Cab For Cutie, Interpol, Phoenix, The Police and Radiohead…and that’s a shortlist. She’s an alright writer and a terrible guitarist…and an even worse snowboarder. Kim is from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, but has settled in London over the past few years. Having written for numerous publications and websites including The Smoke, allgigs.co.uk, The 405 and The Beat Surrender, Never Enough Notes was created almost as a dare in 2009 yet grows every day. Kim’s best gig – Radiohead @ Blackpool’s Winter Gardens. Worst gig – Peter Green’s set at The Secret Garden Party festival (the festival itself blew her mind!). Kim is not very good at writing about herself in the third person. She greets animals in the street. Kim deals with the overall running of Never Enough Notes.

“Take a pew”, joked Sarah Blasko’s guitarist as we listened intently in St. Stephen’s Church, Shepherds Bush. All Communion and religious jokes aside, Bushstock was Communion Records’ inagural festival which saw 30 bands play across 4 West London venues on Saturday 4th June. Perfect beer garden weather had the punters in a great mood and [...]

Dear Alessi, I’m sorry about running out of the show after your opening song, The Dog. We went to the back of the Hall because of the leaky roof dripping soiled rainwater into my prized pint. The Bush Hall is a beautiful little venue and my friend had never been – their friendship didn’t start [...]
Tall Ships deserve all the recognition they get in my book. They have all the instrumental passion of Kaki King’s guitar acrobatics, rhythmic tingle and bitey rhythm, and the lyricism of many a broken-hearted youth. The boys have just confirmed that they’ll be supporting We Are Scientists and Three Trapped Tigers on their UK tour, [...]
