Fields Of The Nephilim / Claytown Troupe / Heathen Apostles (live at The Forum) https://freq.org.uk/reviews/nephilim-live-2025/ When I first moved to London in 1990 at the tender age of 18, I was in part drawn by the lure of a city offering plenty of live music. So of course the first thing I did was go to see Fields Of The Nephilim at The Town and Country Club. And now, 35 years later, here they are in the same building .. celebrating their own fortieth anniversary. #livemusic #gothicrock #gigreviews pix: @davros23

Live Review: DeWolff – Stereo, Glasgow (12th April 2025)
Before April 12th, I’d never heard of DeWolff. But what a way to be introduced with a full on sonic revival at Glasgow’s Stereo that left me walking out buzzing with the kind of energy only a truly great live show can give.
Hailing from the Dutch province of Limburg, DeWolff are a psychedeli

Gig Review: Vukovi / Lake Malice / Fog Bandits – SWG3, Glasgow (11th April 2025)
Hit rewind. Address refunds (virtually none). Reschedule tour date. Get everyone back for a second shot. This is what Vukovi had to do after a localised power outage in March caused their headline show at Glasgow's SWG3 to be cancel
Gig Review: The Fallen State / Liberty Lies / Psycho Village – Audio, Glasgow (9th April 2024)
We like to cover all gigs big and small, and tonight we were to enjoy some quality hard rock at one of Glasgow's more intimate venues. Audio is located under Central Station and has a capacity
Gig Review: Erja Lyytinen – Nice N Sleazy, Glasgow (7th April 2025)
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve been back to Glasgow’s Nice N Sleazy. I missed the Edinburgh gig last night due to family commitments, but I made the trip through to Glasgow for tonight’s show featuring the Queen of slide guitar, Erja Lyytinen. She’s currently on tour
Gig Review: Lordi / Sick n’ Beautiful – SWG3, Glasgow (6th April 2025)
Is Sunday rounding off the week or starting it? Either way tonight I was back at SWG3 for a costume party courtesy of Finnish latex warriors Lordi. As I arrived at the venue I could hear the support band starting and rushed in, though I didn't actually know
Gig Review: Those Damn Crows / James Bruner – La Belle Angele, Edinburgh (22nd Mar 2025)
Arriving at La Belle Angele on what was a rather rainy and bleak night in Edinburgh (what’s new right?) I had a little hiccup getting in and had to wait on my pass, however the staff sorted it out quickly. While

Gig Review: Wardruna / Jo Quail – SEC Armadillo, Glasgow (25th March 2025)
The air outside the SEC Armadillo carried the last breath of winter, crisp and electric with anticipation. Fans gathered in the cold, wrapped in cloaks, furs, and heavy fabrics as if preparing for a pilgrimage. This was more than a concert; it was a summo

Gig Review: Dayglow / DellaXOZ – SWG3, Glasgow (25th March 2025)
It's always nice to step outside of you usual comfort zone, so when we were offered a chance to go and see Dayglow I didn't hesitate. Arguably a bit "poppy" for our site, I've spent a lot of time over the last year seeing bands that some people argue that

Gig Review: The Darkness – Glasgow Royal Concert Hall (20th March 2025)
This was a surprise gig. Ross had covered the Wolverhampton date for us recently so I wasn't expecting to be heading to the Royal Concert Hall, and on the one day I'm away at a conference I got home to an email (sent at midday) by a generous PR company offering a
Gig Review: Cory Marks / Big Iron – The Cathouse, Glasgow (18th March 2025)
Why don't I go to the Cathouse more often for gigs? It's a cracking venue with awesome staff and above-decent sound. Tonight it was playing host to country rocker Cory Marks, with local-ish support supplied by Edinburgh's Big Iron.

Gig Review: Zakk Sabbath / Lowen – O2 Academy, Glasgow (6th March 2025)
Lowen’s set got off to an odd start as the band walked onto the stage while the venue’s background music was still playing. The crowd cheered in anticipation, but there was a moment of confusion before the singer cut through the noise with a powerful, sustained

Gig Review: Hayseed Dixie / Kit Trigg – 45Live, Kidderminster (15th February 2025)
It’s not often you’ll see a review from us from Kidderminster given most bands stop in Birmingham or Wolverhampton to tick the West Midland box. But then again, Hayseed Dixie, the finest purveyors of rockgrass aren’t most bands. Whils
Gig Review: Biohazard / Life Of Agony / Lylvc – SWG3, Glasgow (26th February 2025)
I’ve been waiting years to see Biohazard, and they absolutely delivered. The energy in SWG3 was intense, the crowd was wild, and the band was on top of their game from start to finish. It was one of those shows that makes the wai
