Review of The Luka State
The Luka State are a great band, write and record original and addictive music, and can really play live! Unfortunately, because the Purple Turtle is a small venue, if the amplification is too loud then the sound becomes distorted and reverberates. In this case many of the songs were not recognisable instantly and had the amplification been less, would have sounded much better in my opinion. I'll try and see them in a larger venue next time to really enjoy their live performance.

Review of Sweet Electric
Sweet Electric. This is what happens when you transfer a slightly vertically challenged, fully formed rock star from Australia and relocate him to Köln. Brad formerly of Massive now fronts Sweet Electric, those of you who saw the Phil Campbell and his Bastard Sons tour will know how good these boys are. Here we get the fully stretched out headline set, touches of Ac/Dc and seventies glam for sure, but this band have their own joyous sound. It's pedal to the metal, cowbell infused, supercharged rock'n'roll. Their album is out now, look for the pineapple on the cover, maybe hinting at the swinging grooves within.
The Verdaguers, very much influenced by Nirvana, when the singers hat fell off he looked more like Kurt than previously, when he was rocking the Wes from Puddle of Mud look. A very good, entertaining young band.
The Cold Blooded Hearts opened with Kick Out The Jams and progressed to a more mainstream rock sound. They're fronted by former Wycombe Manager and footballing legend, Gareth Ainsworth, the addition of keyboards in the shape of Giselle Isabelle adds depth both visually and sonically.
In conclusion, all three bands well worth seeing, a top way to spend a Sunday night.

Review of The Free Man Festival
Absolutely amazing event. I've followed songer since before the passing of his best friends, Luke Freeman. To say he would be proud looking down is an understatement! The venue was brilliant, the atmosphere was amazing, the acts were just phenomenal! I will definitely be returning next year for the 2nd freeman festival and I hope to bring more friends! Big respect to Marc for organising and big love to everyone involved❤️
