A mere 6 weeks after watching Tragedy at a home town gig in New York opening for Steel Panther, I had the pleasure of seeing them again at the o2 Academy in Islington, this time playing a headline set. Before the “Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees and beyond” hit the stage however, was the […]
It’s a hard task to write a review about a Derren Brown show, even before you’re asked to keep the secrets of the show… secret.Forgoing the temptation to simply write “it was good” and send this article to Dave, I will try and elaborate on that the best I can. I first saw Derren Brown a […]
