George FitzGerald – Live @ Schwuz
23 March 2018 | aaamusic
Tuesday 20th March, Berlin
I’ve been a fan of George FitzGerald for the duration of his career, but if truth be told, I always preferred the club-flavoured output of his early EPs (especially the tracks he put out on … Read More
Nils Frahm – Live @ The Barbican
1 March 2018 | aaamusic
Saturday 24th February, London
A dimly lit stage and the eerie tones of a harmonium kicked off Nils Frahm’s final of four shows at London’s, Barbican. ‘The Whole Universe Wants To Be Touched’ lead straight into ‘Sunson’, imitating the … Read More

Wednesday 22nd November, Berlin
It’s been a few years since I last saw Hidden Orchestra live. Three years, to be exact – not since their beautiful AV show at London’s Union Chapel in 2014. I had no idea what … Read More

Zara McFarlane – Live @ Prince Charles

Friday 3rd November, Norwich
Wow! “Best gig since seeing Nirvana play at the Norwich Arts Centre in 1989”, is what I heard more than one person say when walking out of The Crypt after this gig. There again, this performance … Read More
Gabriel Garzón-Montano – Live @ Auster Club
10 November 2017 | aaamusic
Monday 30th October, Berlin
Gabriel Garzón-Montano’s Jardin is my favourite R&B record of 2017. And by a mile. Though others saw little to no progression from his 2014 debut EP Bishouné: Alma del Huila, I found additional layers of … Read More
