Bauhaus legends Peter Murphy and David J played to a sold out Roadmender on Sunday night performing the band’s debut album In The Flat Field in full as well as a selection of other hits. It was the first time the duo had played Bauhaus material together in the county […]
It’s been a cracking year for The Lovely Eggs with their latest LP, This Is Eggland featuring praise from fans and critics alike. Third time playing in Northampton I think, and first time on the Roadmender’s main stage. The lighting last night was very red for the headliners, so photos […]

Bass legend Mark King brought Level 42 to Northampton on Saturday night. While not touring in support of anything in particular, the band played in front of a sold out venue. Chronicle & Echo Sports Editor Jeremy Casey wrote a review of the show which you can read here:

Some fantastic lighting during the show which saw Lockett perform, unaccompanied, on the piano. Joining him was Cousin Avi. First time back shooting at the R&D since Amy Macdonald’s headline gig last […]
Bedford rockers Don Broco headlined the Roadmender this week as part of the second leg of their Technology Tour. Joining them were Yungblud and The LaFontaines. The take home from this gig – keep an eye on your kit, as a 24-70 rolling off a ledge onto a concrete floor ain’t […]
Amy Macdonald kicked off her acoustic tour at Royal & Derngate in Northampton last night. Billed as an ‘intimate’ run of gigs, Macdonald played to a pretty much sold out venue, despite admitting being unwell. Support was by Holiday Oscar,who is also pictured below. I wrote some words about the […]
