For the first time Munich High End also played host to Can Jam Europe.

Keeping It Reel – Reel To Reel At High End Munich

Josh Rouse – The Mash House, Edinburgh
They say that familiarity breeds contempt. It would seem that unfamiliarity does likewise. I’d mentioned to a few people over the last couple of weeks that I was going to see Josh Rouse; the response was invariably a variation on: “Never heard of him” and implicit in these statements was the conviction that if they […]

Gary Numan – The Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh
Nostalgia tours roll into town with rapid regularity. Missed one Seventies or Eighties hit-maker? There will be another along before you know it. Nostalgia sells. It’s less common though for someone who had their first number one in 1979 and their last top ten single in 1982 to come storming along with a set that […]

London Astrobeat Orchestra – The Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh
Edinburgh in March can be a cold, damp, miserable place. So used are we to wet, windy weather that we even have a special adjective to describe it: Dreich. If only there was a band who could bring a waft of warmth, a shaft of sunshine, a hint of hot African nights. Step forward then, […]
