London’s live rock scene just got a powerful new pulse – and its name is The Motherz. Formed in the summer of 2024, this heavy metal band is still fresh on the circuit, yet they already boast studio time at the legendary Abbey Road Studios – a bold statement of intent for a group clearly aiming high. I caught their debut at The Underworld Camden last night 26 October 2025, and…
If you think you’ve seen it all on the London live music scene, think again – because The DeciBells don’t just perform… they take over the room.

As a lifelong admirer of John Lennon – his music, his rebellious spirit, and his fearless attitude – it truly made my day to finally “meet” him through Tyson Kelly. Known worldwide for his uncanny portrayal of Lennon in the Imagine Lennon Show, Tyson brings to life not only the sound but also the wit, charm, and depth of the legendary Beatle. In this interview, I had the surreal…
There are nights when everything just clicks – when the room, the sound, the stories, and the people align into something quietly extraordinary. Last night’s album launch for Rob Wheeler’s Leave Tomorrow at the Green Note in Camden was precisely that kind of evening.
Hosted at the award-winning Green Note – long celebrated as a cradle for greenroots talent and one of London’s…

What followed was a masterclass in heartfelt…
