Concert Review: Dual at Whammy, 4 June 2021
At 10pm The Whammy bar is crowded and when Dual come on stage just before 10.20pm it is clear they have evolved since I last saw them. They have added live drums to support Maurice Miller’s vocals and electronics, and Jamie Pyne’s guitar.
Concert Review: Kita – Neck of the Woods 6 June 2021
Nikita Tu-Bryant, with her back-combed bouffant, looks poised and triumphant as the trio called Kita take the stage. With the opening salvo from the drummer, a Ginger Baker-style rapid-fire assault, they run through most of the tracks from newly-minted debut album Kita.

Concert Review: Julie Lamb Outfit, The Vic, Devonport 21 May 2021
The Julie Lamb Outfit play easy-listening Rock from the early days of FM radio, real DJ’s and American Top Forty. Music as comfortable as the pajamas’ some of the band are wearing. Great ensemble playing and packed with enough Soul, Funk and R’n’B to satisfy the most jaded palate.
