Dr Doom SUBS 3rd Sep 2024		Live Music BBC Concert Orchestra @ Royal Albert Hall (2024)	Review A fun night and great to hear a full orchestra playing the silky music of Mancini, Bacharach, Les Baxter and Esquivel The highlight was probably hearing an Ondioline being played live (Very early kind of proto-synthesiser from France) 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS 31st Aug 2019		Live Music Guns 2 Roses @ The Big Red (2019)	Review A very bizarre night. The band looked pretty pissed off throughout the performance and after the show ended a punch up broke out between Axl and Duff and they were both chucked out by the bouncers. Was this was some serious method acting or was it a genuine fight? Pretty amusing whatever the case. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS 2nd Jul 2018		Live Music Queens Of The Stone Age And Friends @ Finsbury Park (2018)	Review Although the bands were great on the day. Almost everything else wasn't. Queues to get a drink stretched all around the park taking up to 2 hours!!! to get served. Toilet queues similarly insane. And only opening one exit to let 45,000 people out at the end seems at best stupid and at worst dangerous. And of course no-one is going to take responsibility or suffer any penalty for the worst organised music festival I have ever been to....

Dr Doom SUBS 3rd Sep 2017		Live Music The 5th Clerkenwell Festival @ Spa Fields (2017)	Review A fun day out. Great to see Ten Benson play for the first time in years delivering a bit of a greatest (should have been) hits set with original drummer Karl back in the fold too. Almost as good was the Rock 'N' Roll Dog Show featuring rounds like 'Waggiest Tail' 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS 6th Sep 2016		Live Music Teenage Fanclub @ Islington Assembly Hall (2016)	Review With Norman Blake now residing in Canada this was a rare live appearance in London and TFC were of course as dependably excellent as ever. This was very much a greatest hits set with only a few songs from their new album (out this week). The new songs sounded great and I'm glad I've pre-ordered the vinyl. Highlights for me were 'The Concept' (with a massive crowd singalong), 'Your Love Is The Place Where I Come From' and 'Sparky's Dream'. A lovely venue too with only the bar letting it down (£5 tinned beer and then it's poured into a plastic glass) 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Dr Doom SUBS 12th Sep 2015		Live Music Palma Violets @ Bar&Co (2015)	Review A semi-secret show at a friend of the band's 50th birthday party. I was unfamiliar with the band's music but they were seemed like a pretty decent indie/garage band. They played a host of covers, getting into the spirit of the night. The highlight probably being a great version of The Gun Club's 'Sex Beat' 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
