Live Review: Lyndsey Craig, The Hecklers and Ryan Morcombe @ Teviot Underground 19/03/15

Words: The Captain It’s a Thursday evening, it’s just past 9:15 and I’m at Teviot Underground for another one of the fabulous weekly FREE gigs. First, we are treated to the wonderful Ryan Morcombe.

With a … Continue reading Live Review: Lyndsey Craig, The Hecklers and Ryan Morcombe @ Teviot Underground 19/03/15

Originally posted on Through The Wire Music:
Words: Leah Curtis. It’s a Friday night and I’m in another venue that I’ve never been to before (getting lost on the way proves that). It’s a rather nice venue and after I get my glass of coke, I am “UV-ed up”. Why UV? You may ask. Well, this is Let Love Rule’s EP launch and UV Party, so… Continue reading Live Review: Let Love Rule w/ Redolent @ The Mash House, Edinburgh (07/11/14)

Live Review: Inuit, Bianca, We Came From The North, In Mirrors @ Opium, Edinburgh 30/04/14

Words: The Captain It’s a rainy Wednesday night and Opium is the place to be with four bands waiting to hit our ear drums with loud noises. Shortly after the doors open, In Mirrors take to the stage. A slow ambient wave flows around the room, with an added touch of some very nice quiet vocals. Suddenly, it gets louder, quite unexpected, but nevertheless a … Continue reading Live Review: Inuit, Bianca, We Came From The North, In Mirrors @ Opium, Edinburgh 30/04/14

Originally posted on Through The Wire Music:
Words: Leah Curtis. It’s a nice, sunny Tuesday evening in Edinburgh and as I arrive at The Electric Circus, I am greeted by a queue of people. This surprised me as queues are quite unusual in Edinburgh. However, it somehow states the popularity of the line-up. Once the doors open, for the people to flood in, the venue… Continue reading Live Review: Young Kato, Pixel Fix, Indigo Velvet @ Electric Circus, Edinburgh 29/04/14
