LIVE // SWN Festival // Cardiff

Cardiff is probably the perfect location for an event like SWN festival. Now in it’s 5th year, the festival takes in 8 venues plus several additional make-shift venues such as cafes and record shops. This year more than any other year seems to be alittle bit more special, 5 years is quite something for any [...]

Shambala is a gem, and I will be shouting about it from the rooftops long after the audience has dissipated.

Just One Week Until Shambala…

In a week’s time the delectable, delightful Shambala will be opening its gates to admit 2000 of the merriest, most multi-coloured festivalgoers for four days of stomp, shininess and silliness, and it’s not too late for you to grab a ticket!

Interview // The Lancashire Hotpots // Kendal Calling 2011

If one band summed up the eclectic nature of Kendal Calling this year, it was Comedy/Folk band The Lancashire Hotpots. Preparing to grace the same stage which would be stormed by the likes of Blondie and Frank Turner, Never Enough Notes caught up with Bernard Thresher and Kenny Body to help them overcome their banging [...]

Playgroup Festival // Near Brighton // 5th – 8th August

This is why festivals are more than just an excuse to get off your face and rave for a few days. They bring out the very best in people, and at a time when we are constantly hearing about the very worst in people, day in and day out, their importance cannot be overstated.

Interview // Frank Turner // Kendal Calling 2011

Prior to delivering a blistering set at Kendal Calling, Frank Turner tells Never Enough Notes how the hard work is finally paying off, his aspirations for hardcore punk rock superstardom and why he squirms at the mention of his award-nominated blog…

Festival Review // Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival // Beauly, Inverness // 4-6 August

Like a version of Lovebox that has overdosed on shortbread, this is an event that embraces everything wonderful about modern Scottish culture.

Tramlines Festival // 22nd – 24th July 2011 // Sheffield

Tramlines is a brilliant example of what an inner city festival can be. There are other events like it (Manchester’s In The City and Liverpool Sound City) but they fail where Tramlines succeeds in two ways: 1) Tramlines is free (yes, totally free) and 2) it offers much more than “open up most venues in [...]

The Young Knives // Interview // Kendal Calling 2011

With their punchy riffs and energetic live performances, Ashby-de-la-Zouch’s The Young Knives have steadily built up a glowing reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting indie bands.
