Banks – Koko, London
Source Banks is a name that only came on to my radar at the very beginning of 2014 when she featured on a Spotify playlist of ‘upcoming talent’. Her song Waiting Game was unlike anything I’d heard before, and that…
Goodbye 2013 (and good riddance!)
Finally, 2013 has come to an end! This year has been full of huge ups and downs, and frankly I cannot wait for it to be over. On the downside, I’ve had to deal with relatives and friends…
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros at Somerset House
Every year, on top of London Fashion Week, an open air cinema and the city’s most famous Christmas ice skating rink, Somerset House is home to the #AmexSounds Summer Series – a number of gigs from a wide range of…

This isn’t the first time I’ve written about a Brighton based male-female duo performing at Heaven. It seems it’s the place to hold a gig if you fit that particular description. But this isn’t another gush about the wonderful Bitter…
Music: Florence & the Machine – Alexandra Palace, 08/03/12
