Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at San Siro, Milan, Italy – 3 July 2016
Friday
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played at Milan’s San Siro Stadium on 3 July 2016. For the last few weeks… months… oh shiiiiit it’s been months, I’ve tried to find a way to explain what went down that night. I’ve tried every day, and honestly, I’m no closer to telling you what happened. All I…

Jake Clemons In A Tegelen Living Room, The Netherlands
Wednesday
A few weeks back Jake Clemons played in the living room of a small town I can’t pronounce in The Netherlands. This all starts back in January 2014, when in the pit of one of Bruce Springsteen‘s Cape Town concerts I met a gorgeous Dutch girl called Ellen. Thanks to super advanced technology (the internet…

Review: Boom Burger, Notting Hill, London
Monday
Boom! A (relatively) new burger has exploded onto the London burger scene, and it’s as boom as the name suggests. Out west in Notting Hill, burgers are now being served with a loud Jamaican twist at BOOM Burger. Order at the counter choosing from the beefy and bacon jam “boom” burger, jerk chicken burger, fish…

Review: Parrilla Natural (Burger), Algarve, Portugal
Sunday
This seemingly unimportant burger became much more significant when Springsteen joined the stage with The Rolling Stones in Lisbon recently. I get through a lot of burgers. I’m too embarrassed to tell you how many. Let’s just say about 50% of the burgers I eat make it on to here. I need to choose the…

Interview: Martyn Joseph
Monday
As a Springsteen fan I often feel surrounded by mediocre, lack lustre versions of his songs. Pale imitations. Clumsy forgeries of masterworks. But not always. One Welsh singer-songwriter has spectacularly, and very successfully, nailed it. Recording an album of covers can be one of a musician’s most challenging tasks: how do you remain true to…

Review: Martyn Joseph: Cecil Sharp House, London, 20th February 2014
Friday
I’ve always been a little bit sceptical of anyone covering Bruce Springsteen’s music. I’ve assumed I’d find it difficult to hear a new version of a song when I’m so fond of the original, spending years growing to love the way that Bruce sings and plays it. A few months back a couple of Springsteen…

F**k It: Bruce Springsteen In Cape Town South Africa, 26th January 2014, My Review
Monday
Ten years ago I became a little bit obsessed, as I have a tendency to do, with the saying Carpe Diem. I heard it somewhere, I think from some hippie traveller with dread locks and patchwork trousers, and my friend and I latched onto it, hollering it at every opportunity presented to us. “Another cup…

Jake Clemons Interview: A Few Questions, A Few Answers!
Sunday
How do you maintain your youthful complexion? It may sound like a question better suited to one of Hollywood’s glamorous A-listers as opposed to being the first thing I’m tempted to ask an emerging rock talent. Taking up his uncle Clarence Clemons’ spot in the E Street Band, Jake Clemons has been touring with Bruce…

Bruce Springsteen Sing-Along Prince Charles Cinema London: November 2013
Saturday
Bruce Springsteen has a way of convincing me that I am a brilliant singer. If you ever see a girl walking down the street in London, headphones in hollering ‘THIS TRAIN” that’ll be me listening to Land Of Hope And Dreams. I’m not embarrassed at all, but for some reason my friends and family are. Apparently it’s…
