    Review: Theatre Group’s But Why Bump Off Barnaby? @ The Annex 02/02/23

    TG’s production of But Why Bump Off Barnaby? is a hilariously whimsical Knives Out style murder-mystery: aristocrat Orien LeDuc invites his family members to his spooky manor, and before long, long-absent Barnaby Folcey is murdered. An unlikely group of eccentric characters desperately try and unveil the mystery behind Barnaby’s death, the plot thickening at every […]

    ‘I’m in music for the music’: An Interview with Nath Smith

    Recently I chatted to Nath Smith, a Southampton/Bournemouth based rapper who has been climbing the ladder of music (and as we discovered, TV!) success since his debut track ‘Fly Away’ in 2019. Over the last few years, Nath has been featured on a charting compilation album and has absolutely smashed his recent spotify streams! Together, […]

    You and Me, We Got a Whole Lot of History: Is a One Direction Reunion Tour a possibility?

    In August 2015 when One Direction was announced to go on hiatus indefinitely, it is not an exaggeration to say that millions of hearts were broken. I, for one, rejoiced in the news that the band that had defined all the lives of teenage friends and really drove me crazy as a result, was finally […]

    Most Memorable Mid-show Stops

    I feel like the post-COVID era has been full of accidents and injuries at gigs while people try and regain the spirit of the pre-COVID live scene. Not to say that these incidents weren’t happening before, but it seems as though the TikTok for you page is full of “omg look! This artist’s stopped because […]

    “We’re Getting the Band Back Together”: How Can Pop Groups Reunite Successfully?

    Moreso in recent years than ever, it is apparent that nostalgia is the king of entertainment. From movie reboots to some of the year’s biggest music hits sampling beloved classics, it goes without saying that the past remains somewhat of a comfort to people in this post-pandemic world. Though this trend appears to have always […]

    A Review of the Theatre Group Society’s Freshers Show: When We Are Married

    Prolific British author J.B. Priestley’s farcical play kicks off when a group of old friends are interrupted during their silver anniversary by the abrupt discovery that they are, in fact, not actually legally married. The three couples, in their incredulity and distress, begin reevaluating their marriages as suspicion begins to brew over the true sincerity […]

    Southampton Comedy Society’s ‘Freshers and Alumini Show’ @ The Annex

    I was recently treated to a very enjoyable night on behalf of Southampton’s Comedy Society, who are clearly a very fab society because The Annex was absolutely dripping in laughter the whole way through! I often get a feeling of dread watching comics; Will their jokes land? Who will be the first to say c***? […]

    Review: Plastic Mermaids at The Joiners Southampton

    When it comes to Indie music, there’s not quite an Indie band like the Isle of Wight five piece masterpiece, Plastic Mermaids. The way that they orchestrate their instruments, collaboratively perform together, has never made me feel so eccentric and alive at a live performance ever. Supporting act for the night was Isle of Wights […]

    Review: Aitch at Bournemouth O2 Academy

    I’ve never witnessed a crowd as crazy as Aitch’s fans. Hearing screams, predominantly the crowd being females, was unheard of. On Thursday night, 20th October 2022, the anticipation of waiting for Aitch to show up on stage was incredibly difficult for the fans, holding back their excitement, especially for the girls. The O2 academy was […]
