Alex Gardner – Peterborough Embankment – 18th July (LIVE REVIEW)
Live Reviews
Tuesday, 20 July 2010 Written by Ginny Bullmore


It wasn't an Alex Gardner show I went to see. I was dragged along (admittedly not entirely reluctantly) to watch JLS on tour for my little brother's birthday, and Alex Gardner happened to be one of the support acts. Beforehand, I wasn't overly excited about his performance - I'd only really heard the single 'I'm Not Mad', and it was one of those songs that never really struck a chord with me, not seeming particularly memorable or special. However from the moment Gardner and his band came onstage, it became apparent they were going to be a pretty special support act.

They were introduced as having supported Whitney Houston, Leona Lewis and (not as impressively) Scouting For Girls. They'd supported Leona and Whitney? They're not exactly singers to my personal taste, but there's no denying they're huge names in the music world.

Kele has emerged fighting fit with his incredible, critically acclaimed debut album 'The Boxer', a joyous mixture of bouncing electronic dancefloor beats and songwriting that's both celebratory and sensitively confessional.

A Certain Ratio Live At FAC251

On the 17th July in Factory’s new venue, FAC251 in Manchester something rather special happened. One of Factory's original bands, A Certain Ratio came home. ACR who were one of the many legendary acts which Factory had signed for the company during the late 70’s, played in front of a packed audience, who crammed into the small, intimate venue.

We spoke to a guy who had travelled all the way from the States to the North-West venue, just to see the group. Now that is commitment and tells you a little something about ACR. All around there was an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation as the hordes waited for ACR to play their set.
