Three bands local to Bradford, three very different vibes, one top night for my last gig of 2025. Obviously everyone will know I went for Paradise Lost, but Terrorvision are always a fun live band and New Model Army rounded things off nicely.

It was absolute Madness at Newcastle Arena last night, all the hits and a nice Christmassy Wizzard cover to boot.

5th person to reach the barrier at an arena?! What. The. Eff.

It's a difficult question but pick your favourite colour.

The Legendary Orchestra was a great idea to open up for Sabaton, playing their own interpretations of classic Sabaton songs (that weren't in their own set of course). Top night all round.

Sabaton were absolutely amazing at Manchester Co-Op Live last night, always great fun and always enjoy themselves and God those flames are hot!

Raging Speedhorn, stripped down to a 5 piece for the night, destroyed Newcastle Trillians last night.

Weird venue for a gig, too much pub and not enough floor space, but they soldiered on with Daf on bass and got the crowd moving in the end.

Where's Wally?

Pretty sure I just saw Grant Leadbitter strolling up to Yarm station. Yarm is definitely a place that footballers live but weird that he's getting the train at dinnertime on matchday.

Mastiff also suitably assaulted our eardrums beforehand.

The pictures accurately reflect the chaos & fury of a Raging Speedhorn gig after they levelled Manchester Star & Garter last night.

Seeing them again in Newcastle on Sunday so if Frank could try not to fall off stage and drag a speaker stack onto my head this time that would be great.

I think* that's the first gig I've been to where the singer drunkenly fell off the stage onto me and brought a stack of speakers down with him onto my head. Great fun though, absolute carnage and I got another setlist.

Lacuna Coil were on top form at Newcastle Northumbria University last night, I also managed to add to my setlist haul thanks to drummer Richard Meiz.

And the run of gig goodies continues.

Ash were great fun at Newcastle Boiler Shop last night, mixing up a top selection of hits with their new album. And I kept up my run of gig goodies with Tim's setlist.

My run of goodies continues after getting Tim Wheeler's setlist

When will any government learn that trying to placate racists to win their votes is never going to go far enough.

I saw one person reply about this whole idea with "Yeah but what about all of the ones from the last 80 years?"
Labour’s latest attack on asylum seekers is cruel & counterproductive. How does it help community cohesion to hold threat of deportation over vulnerable people? We don’t need an arms race with the hard right over asylum, we need safe routes & European cooperation #bbclaurak
