I was lucky enough to catch the truly wonderful Hero & Leander when they played The Enterprise in Camden last Friday. I’ve mentioned this fantastic six-piece on these pages before, but they certainly warrant another mention, because this is a band you really do have to catch live.

I was recently down at my mum’s house, cleaning some of my things out of her attic, when I came across a box of my old vinyl LPs. Flicking through them, I was transported back to a time when I’d eagerly await a new release, trekking down to a suitably monikered trendy record shop, its […]
