Live Review: Jon Gomm + Tim Canfer
Playing acoustic guitar before Jon Gomm must be a rather daunting experience but Tim knocks out quite a strong set of songs with confessional and indeed rather poetic lyrics with fresh sounding strummy guitar.

Live Review: Vessels + Quack Quack + Juffage
Juffage is a potential health and safety hazard. During his set tonight (over and above the short circuit-inducingly large amount of loopers, delay and fuzz pedals), various pieces of equipment are carried around Upstairs @ The Library high above his head, an incongruous table lamp atop an amp stack is wobbling violently and his cavalier style of guitar playing seems to centre on physical contortions in the middle of an already-large crowd.

Live Review: Your Vegas
Fresh from an NME pasting, Your Vegas take to the Faversham's stage in front of a good sized crowd. The review of new single 'Flybuzz' criticised the band for daring not to be an identikit copycat of every other band you can hear on the radio or read about in the press.

Live Review: The Stranglers + Taxi To the Ocean
Taxi To the Ocean hail from the Netherlands, although it would be mighty expensive to get one there. There is a definite influence of Pearl Jam in there, especially with singer Just Posthumus' long locks and head swaying.

Live Review: Zelig + On Porter + Maggie8 + R. Tetley + Maia
It's midweek and outside is an Arctic wasteland, let's go out! I got my woolly hat and crampons on. Filled the St Bernard with brandy and my pockets with dried fruit, switched off all my appliances at the plug (my kettle being switched off might stop it from getting colder outside, possibly, it's science) and set off like an explorer, an explorer looking to discover new musical landscapes, new Kings and Queens and peoples and customs.

Live Review: Chapter Thirteen
For a rock band like Chapter Thirteen an acoustic gig is to say the least - unexpected. I've seen the band many times and when I first heard about this gig I wondered what was going to be left without the crunching guitars and the wide range of effects they usually use in such an imaginative way.

The first act to play the bigger stage of the Cockpit tonight are Ins and Outs.

What did entertain the crowd was probably more to do with their unique dance moves.
