REVIEW: Ellie Goulding – Bright Lights
Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
Ellie Goulding’s version of Elton John’s famous ‘Your Song’ rocketed to the top of the UK Top 40 charts following its well-timed release in conjunction with the recent John Lewis ad. Lending the same charm to the brand that Billy Joel’s She’s ‘Always a Woman to Me’ did following its massive advertising success, ‘Your Song’ has resonated in the hearts of viewers everywhere. A tactical preview-release of the song has generated buzz for her extended album re-release Bright Lights, a musical continuation of Lights, Ellie’s breakout release earlier this year.

OPINION: Drinks are too expensive already
Friday, January 28th, 2011
Last year, whilst at a consultation meeting organised by Queen’s Students’ Union I was informed by a representative that the SU has higher alcohol prices than the vast majority of student unions in Great Britain and the north of Ireland. As I grew up and first started drinking in England this came as no surprise to me. The so-called ‘offers’ available at Belfast’s nightclubs and bars are nothing in comparison to what can be found across the water. Just a few weeks ago I was in Liverpool and found a fantastic nightclub which sold pints at 70p to students every night of the week.

REVIEW: The Tallest Man on Earth at Mandela Hall
Friday, January 14th, 2011
Returning to Belfast for a second time, Kristian Matsson – or as most people know him by his stage name, The Tallest Man on Earth – performed to a most reverent crowd in the Mandela Hall. Support act and fellow Swedish songster, Amanda Bergman, opened the show. No one in the crowd was prepared to hear such a strong performance from the supporting act. Lulling the crowd into silence with a rendition of Cat Power’s ‘Naked If I Want to’ among many other covers and some of her own songs, Bergman appeared lost in the music and playing only to herself, seemingly unaware that she had the whole audience entranced.

REVIEW: Bell X1 at The Empire
Thursday, January 6th, 2011
Ranked at number 9 in The Irish Times’ list of The Best 50 Irish Music Acts Right Now, beating other forerunners for the title such as Snow Patrol and even U2, Bell X1 returned to Belfast’s Empire Music Hall for an imitate acoustic set, an ideal venue for this performance. With its comfortable atmosphere and unique setting, it provided fans with the ultimate opportunity to get close to the music and the band.
