This Weekend’s Black Deer Festival Was A Triumph, And Supporting It Might Just Save Music As You Know It!

June 21, 2023

There must have been something prophetic about the lyrics of a Drake White song back in 2016, when he sang “nobody’s talking but we’re all on the phone”. The song ‘Back to Free’ is a song  from country artist Drake and he was one of the stars on Sunday at Kent’s ever more popular Americana, Country and Roots Black Deer Festival but I’m sure even he wouldn’t have foreseen the looming shadow of technology on music as well as our departure from the things that make life and making memories special.

Legendary Swedish Rock Band The Hives Release New Single, ‘Countdown to Shutdown’ – Currently On Tour With Arctic Monkeys Ahead Of Glastonbury Performance

June 14, 2023

The Hives officially formed in Fagersta, Sweden, back in 1993, but legend has it they actually started in 1989, under another name, and with a different sound. In any case, they came to prominence in the mid 2000s, during the revival of garage rock. Currently on tour across the UK and Ireland with Arctic Monkeys, The Hives will also be performing on the Other Stage, at Glastonbury, on June 23.
