Back in November of last year, Boyzone announced they were getting back together, and I wrote a post titled ‘Boyzone Announce Reunion - Noooooooooooooooooo!’ to show the level of my displeasure at the thought.
At the time, the reunion was just a one-off for Children In Need, but unfortunately, the 30-somethings from Ireland who still […]

Scotland has become a kind of Mecca for music festivals and outdoor concerts over the last few years, with T In The Park, Rock Ness and The Isle Of Skye festivals all being hyped up and getting great bands performing.
Unfortunately, despite the hype, the last one on that list is no more, after the organisers […]

Paul McCartney finally managed to get rid of the “one-legged bitch”, (his words not mine allegedly) Heather Mills last month, when she was awarded almost $50 million to shut up and go away.

After going to see The Feeling at the beginning of March, and loving it so much, me and my friends were on the lookout for the next big gig to buy tickets for and attend.
A quick search on GigsandTours.com later, and we decided to purchase tickets for the Sugababes at the Manchester Apollo on the […]

Amy Winehouse continues her fight to keep the tabloid newspaper and music magazine journalists (as well as simple bloggers such as me) in gainful employment.

Ever since legendary British rock pioneers Led Zeppelin reformed for a one-off gig at the 02 Arena in London last December, there has been speculation over further plans for a full tour.
Firstly guitarist Jimmy Page gave the fans who had missed out on the London show hope (and there were many, including me), hope by […]

A few of us here on the b5 music channel have decided to get together and talk about our favourite gigs. I’ve been to far too many to list them all, so instead, I’ll focus on my experiences of the last year.
I have quite a broad taste in music, loving everything from Bjork and Joanna […]

Wow, Amy Winehouse could be about to earn $1 million (approx £500,000) for one gig, after being reportedly offered the amount to play the celebrity party at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute in New York on May 5th.

The Feeling are a band who are never going to be cool, never going to get on the cover of NME, and never going to be the next big thing.
But you know what? None of that matters, as they put out some incredibly well written, and well composed pop songs, and after seeing them […]
