Florence Black – Crumlin, The Patriot – 17 September 2021

With the most anticipated album release in South Wales for a considerable time and an extensive refurbishment of the venue, David O’Neill was really looking forward to this gig.  The venue has doubled in capacity to around 300 making it one of the biggest independent venues in the valleys. Albeit still run on behalf of the Patriots motorcycle club, it is a fantastic refurbishment. The rear part of the old venue has been benefitted from a raised flooring area and barrier at the halfway point giving everyone a better view of the action. Large opening doors onto the external covered patio all add to the utility of the venue. As always, the stage setup is very good with good lighting and sound gear. Well done everyone who has made this happen…

Iron Maiden – ‘The Writing On The Wall’ (EMI)

Weeks of build-up, cryptic announcements, breadcrumb clues and a conspiracy-like buzz across social media.  Iron Maiden have released the pressure valve of tension with the release of a new track. ‘The Writing On The Wall’ premiered on YouTube under the guise of being invited to Belshazzar’s Feast (one of the aforementioned cryptic clues).  Invites were sent out through the fanclub and to those who recently purchased official merch as well as a video message from Bruce. BUt, did they disappoint? Phil C decides…
