Huey Morgan – The Fun Lovin’ Criminal – Buxton Opera House
Stick ‘em up punk it’s… The Huey Morgan Solo Tour! Or rather – The Huey Morgan Solo Book Tour – as tonight’s gig is actually more of a promotional appearance for his recently released memoir, entitled (of course) ‘The Fun Lovin’ Criminal’. As such we can expect more of ‘An Evening With…’ affair, recounting tales […]

Cinelli Brothers with C-Bone at the Cluny.
If C Bone brought the grit, The Cinelli Brothers brought the swagger. They hit the stage like a band who’ve been doing this together since childhood — tight, instinctive, and with that sibling telepathy that makes their timing razor‑sharp. Their sound is a punchy mix of soul, blues, and old‑school R&B, but with enough modern […]
