Posted on February 20, 2020 by Amanda Winchester

I was psyched to get tickets to see Five Finger Death Punch for the first time, a band I’d been a fan of for ages, but hadn’t yet had a chance to see live. They were the main attraction, of … Continue reading →

Posted on December 1, 2019 by Amanda Winchester

I’ve been looking forward to seeing Amon Amarth for months (as well as worrying about getting a migraine on the day as they are an ongoing problem for me but, luckily, Odin blessed me tonight), and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. … Continue reading →

Trivium at The Roundhouse, London 17.01.2017

Posted on February 20, 2017 by Amanda Winchester

I remember the very first time I listened to a Trivium song and how much it fascinated me and blew my mind. It was ridiculously fast and heavy, and it was on a Kerrang! CD, which I still have. The … Continue reading →

Lordi at The 02 Academy, Islington, London 20.11.2016

Posted on November 24, 2016 by Amanda Winchester

I’m just going to skip right to dessert – meeting Mr Lordi was like meeting an actual God, or like, the king of the wildest woods you’ve ever seen. It was mind blowing and epic, and I still can’t believe … Continue reading →

New Years Day at Camden Rocks Festival 04.06.2016

Posted on August 12, 2016 by Amanda Winchester

I was curious to see New Years Day for myself and see whether or not they actually deserved the terrible reviews I’d read about because sometimes there actually is smoke without fire. Either way, I wanted to check them out, … Continue reading →

Dirty Thrills at the Lexington, London 20.07.2016

Posted on August 8, 2016 by Amanda Winchester

This was a two part show with Ulysses kicking off the show with an energetic performance that had you thinking maybe you’d just stepped back in time. I’ll be doing a separate review of their performance so watch out for … Continue reading →

I was really excited to see Reckless Love play at the Electric Ballroom conveniently located slap bang next to Camden Town tube station and one of the largest venues in Camden. I’ve only been to the Electric Ballroom once before and that … Continue reading →

Daughtry at the Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, London 27.05.2016

Posted on July 17, 2016 by Amanda Winchester

I mainly bought tickets to Daughtry’s show because my mum is a big fan, but I do enjoy his music, too. Not all TV talent show contestants continue to thrive a decade after their first appearance, but Daughtry is one … Continue reading →
