Live Event: Neil Diamond – Manchester Arena, October 1st, 2017.
I don’t remember the first time I heard Neil Diamond sing, whether it was on the radio, a television show, and to my recollection my parents didn’t have any of his albums, but he’s always been there, I seem to have known his music forever and been able to sing along always. Seeing Neil was […]
Live Event: The Red Shoes – Our Kate Bush Story. The Tivoli, September 29th, 2017.
I think a lot of people would pick out Kate Bush as an easy artist to imitate. Yes, we all remember (well those of us who are old enough) Faith Brown flailing her arms about on BBC 1 on a Saturday night, eyes agog, wailing out Wuthering Heights. And perhaps regular readers may think I am […]

Eurogamer Expo 2017 (or EGX as it is more commonly known) returned to Birmingham NEC to celebrate its 10th anniversary. I personally have been going to EGX for the past 7 years and it is always one of the highlights of my diary. Over a period of 4 days, up to 75,000 people will visit […]
Live Event: Bernie Marsden – The Tivoli, May 5th, 2017.
There are times in everyone’s life when the stars align and everything is just perfect. Last night at our beloved Tivoli here in North Wales was one of those times. After a 2017 plagued by ill health, I hadn’t been able to visit my favourite gig venue of the past 35+ years for far too long. […]

Live Event: Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic Venue: Genting Arena, Birmingham Date:12th April 2017 I’m going to try and avoid using the word spectacular too often in this review but, it’s going to be difficult as Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic was truly spectacular!

Live Event: Liverpool Comic Con
Liverpool Comic Con: March 11-12 2017 When you step out of the multi-storey car park and are greeted by the sight of Harley Quinn sat on a low wall pulling up her stockings as Batman casually strolls by without even a cursory glance in her direction (yes, that really DID happen), then you know that you must […]
Live Event: Wales Comic Con, November 5th – 6th, 2016.
A few years back I caused a bit of a Twitter storm with a review of Wales Comic Con. I try to be ‘nice’ in reviews but am always aware that when I read a review I want the truth, good and bad. I am also a geek (yes it IS possible to be ‘old’ […]

Live Event: EuroGamer Expo – NEC Birmingham, September 22-25th, 2016
Eurogamer Expo 2016 (or EGX for short) returned to the NEC in Birmingham following a hugely successful show in 2015. As people will know I love EGX as it’s a chance to play the latest upcoming video game releases and more importantly, meet up with friends and have a laugh. My impression of the show […]
Live Event: Joan Collins Unscripted – Theatre Severn, September 13th, 2016
Dame Joan Collins, magnificent woman, star, sassy and sexy, beloved of all women over the age of ….ahem. One could say she is an ‘old style’ movie star, but her change to television in the 80s with Dynasty lead her to become an actress of two parts, elevating her above her contemporaries to become a true […]
