For Mum: Michael Bublé at Nottingham Ice Arena (12.2007)

By Dan | Published June 4, 2009

I wrote this review in December 2007, and for some reason I never published it.
Today is the 1st anniversary of Mum’s death. She never read this review; like an idiot I never got around to publishing it while she was alive. I did tell her about the gig though.

By Dan | Published May 12, 2006

Wonderland have posted some very interesting news indeed. As far as I’m aware, this is the first virtual music festival I’ve come across. Regardless, it’s certainly the first virtual festival the BBC have arranged. I can’t seem to find any information on the BBC site, however.

Sisters Of Mercy – Nottingham

By Dan | Published May 8, 2006

Let's just get one thing straight from the start: I love the Sisters Of Mercy. They're an important band for me – the soundtrack for some fond memories from my childhood is provided by Andrew Eldritch and co. One such memory involves the first paper-based role-playing game I ever acquired (Nightlife, thanks for asking) and [...]
