Cast - Drifting and Tilting - The Songs of Scott Walker Drifting and Tilting - The Songs of Scott Walker Barbican Theatre, November 13, 14, 15 review to follow

Guy Garvey's a perfectionist. One of those type of singers whose entire experience of a show can be ruined by missing one single note. When he does that at the end of a particularly taxing and otherwise perfectly angelic song, the disappointment is clear on his face. 'No worries, mate,' ...

Martha Wainwright @ Rogue's Gallery, originally uploaded by Caroline. One of the highlights of the 4-hour journey that was Rogue's Gallery London. Martha Wainwright, a striking blonde with killer pipes belting out Lowlands Away, which her brother Rufus and mother Kate McGarrigle had sung on the Rogue's Gallery album. By the way, ...

Rum, sodomy and the lash, originally uploaded by Caroline.Pictures of the Rogue's Gallery show at the Barbican in London last Monday. Not as good as the Dublin ones, circumstances were a little more difficult and restricted. Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.

Efterklang , originally uploaded by Caroline. My guest pass for the Rogue's Gallery festival also gave me access to the second day of the Analog Festival. Three bands I'd never heard of before were on the bill. The concert started with Liars, an American band with an Australian singer. I've filed them ...

Lou Reed and Shane McGowan, originally uploaded by Caroline. My first time competing for shots in the photo pit. All the other photographers were male, tall, big and Irish. I've have tons to edit when I get back home. Rogue's Gallery was quite the event. Shane McGowan riling up the crowd with ...

Leonard Cohen, Amsterdam Westerpark, July 12, 2008 More Leonard Cohen photos by cvodb'You are all covered with sunshine.' Leonard Cohen looks out over the crowd in Westerpark. The setting sun touches the tops of our heads. Or perhaps we struck by the reflection of Cohen's 'golden voice'.It's a deep, ...

(Bilinda Butcher, My Bloody Valentine, photo by cvodb) Free ear plugs - the proper inner ear kind - were given out at the door, but it didn't help the band one bit. The French promotors thought My Bloody Valentine's volume was dangerous and their sound techs adjusted accordingly. Singer/guitarist Kevin ...

Michael Stipe on one of his rare trips to the side of the stage.An open air show in Amsterdam was never going to be as good as the two rehearsal shows at the Olympia theatre in Dublin that I saw last year (read 'An exercise in terror and music'), but ...

(Not the Amsterdam show) The minute Elbow started their show with most of the band members blowing trumpets, I knew we were in for a treat. I've loved Guy Garvey's voice from the moment I first heard Leader of the free world on MTV, but I'd never seen the band live ...
