The Riverside Festival took place this weekend; on the stage were Not My Good Arm and The Brandy Thieves. Memorable performances.<\/p>\n

16th June
\nAt Curve I saw The Car Man, a musical loosely based around Bizet’s opera Carmen. An infectious cocktail of music, dancing and drama though oddly, no singing. Billed as a ‘dance thriller’ it caught the gritty realism of life in a garage in small-town America. Scenes of violence and sex spiced up the exhilarating dance routines.<\/p>\n

25th June
\nWest Midlands band Chasing Deer was at The Shed tonight. One of the touring bands that came to Leicester many times this year, they are a favourite of mine.<\/p>\n

11th July
\nThe Heroes play a reunion gig at The Shed and I publish my biography of this legendary band: The Heroes in Golden Times… the story of a band. This was the gig of the year. It saw an amazing performance by the one-time indie stars of Leicester who have not performed together since 2010.

25th September
\nKynch, rising stars and young band, did their Glastonbudget audition at The Shed, bringing a huge fan base into the venue to support them. If we did give awards, Kynch would get one for best newcomer.<\/p>\n

\nThe Music Cafe hosted Project Live with compare Carol Leeming. Backed by a live band, Michael Sly Simpson delivered an outstanding performance.<\/p>\n

5th December
\nSiobhan Mazzei was at The Shed doing one of her breathtakingly stunning performances. I wish we did awards; I would love to hand Siobhan the singer\/songwriter merit award for outstanding musical achievement. Best out-of-town band to play a lot in Leicester: Scribble Victory. Flight15 merited an award for their performance tonight.<\/p>\n

10th December<\/p>\n

\"Corrupt
Corrupt Nation at The Shed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Shed held one of its now rare young bands nights. Corrupt Nation was amazingly good. The show was headlined by Kynch. The supply of new and young bands has all but dried up this year. Several of yesterday’s new bands have become well established, including Flight15 but we will miss 8Miles High.<\/p>\n

11th December
\nThe Shed. Glastonbudget. Alligatr fill the room with their engaging sounds and their fans. Hollowstar from Cambridge make a welcome return. The Fores was fantastic.<\/p>\n

12th December

\"Flight15

I know that everyone who got mentioned above will be delighted just as all those who were not will be outraged. Round-ups cannot mention everything. My approach is to give a sample of what went on this year. Leicester is alive with music; this has been the top of the iceberg.<\/p>\n
