Music Reviews - A Champion Night - Welly Club 16th January By Cilla and Greg
	One cold night in January (actually it was bloody freezing) my mate Greg and I went along to the Welly for a night with Champion Sound, the Reggae and Dancehall magicians who are currently gracing the Hull night club scene with their individual and blistering repertoire. We arrived early - about 10.15 and the club had a cold feel. There was a steady trickle of people arriving and after an hour or so, so the music began to build .. Read more...

Music Reviews - MrZ and the Splitters at the Ringside - Sunday 10th October By Michelle Dee and Hollie Peck
	On a warm autumnal evening we made our way across town to experience what was to be a very enthralling night of ska and skulduggery. MrZ from Edinburgh and The Splitters from Leicester were showcasing their talent at the ska bar, an up and coming night at the Ringside, Beverley Road. Read more...

	On Saturday night (2nd October) a sell out crowd descended onto The Yo-Yo indie night at the Welly Club, Hull for the official Poptones records launch party for The Paddingtons debut single Twenty One. Not since Kingmaker exploded onto the scene back in the early Read more...

Music Reviews - Off The Wall at City Hall, Hull - Friday 1st October 04 By Shirley Gardner
	At Hull City Hall on Friday 1st October, Off The Wall played 2 hours worth of top notch music, which left the audience thoroughly entertained and wanting more! Pink Floyd were one of the most influential and innovative bands of the last 40 years, some people Read more...

Music Reviews - Har Mar Superstar at Asylum - 30th September By Andy Dykes, Photos by Darren Rogers
	Above the stage in Asylum tonight hangs a giant g-string. It's not the remnant of some bizarre student ritual; it's the calling card of Har Mar Superstar. He's marked his territory. Tonight, this venue and all the beautiful people who show up to dance to his insane party grooves will be his. Har Mar bounds onto Read more...

Music Reviews - Morphines, Amber Souls, Fado Rock and Superscape 23rd September 2004 at Thee Box, Asylum By Cilla
	Mo and I were happy to go back to the Asylum. It's been several months since our last visit and even though our names weren't on the guest list as we'd expected, Cheryl and her co-door lady (whose name I have forgotten - sorry and thanks!) let us in. Cheers to you both for that! It looked like we were early Read more...

Music Reviews - Ernest and Ottogono at the Adelphi - 24th September By Michelle Dee
	This was an eagerly anticipated gig by many. Having been fortunate enough to hear the lyrically superior E.P. Pimps B**ches and Superheroes a few weeks previous I too was looking forward to hearing the ever -popular Ernest. This must-have disc was ably reviewed on here by Read more...

Music Reviews - Biffy Clyro and This Girl at Asylum 24th September 2004 By Steve Rudd, Photos by Darren Rogers
	If only I knew that the gigs at Asylum start earlier than most gigs. The Asylum, for those that don't know, is all swanky part and glorious parcel of the Hull University Campus (off Cottingham Road) - and, of-late, the venue has been welcoming a whole host of incredible talent. The gigs there tend to start just Read more...

Music Reviews - Biffy Clyro At Asylum - 24th September By Andy Dykes, Photos by Darren Rogers
	The cult of Biffy Clyro swirl, pulse and swell like a spring tide while their heroes rock mercilessly infront of them. On record, Biffy Clyro are a band whose songs range from the heart wrenchingly emotional to the jaw droppingly powerful. But I'm totally unprepared for the sheer intensity of the Biffy Clyro live experience. Read more...

Music Reviews - 30th August 2004 - Anarchy in Jaz Bar By Kelly Bolder
	It seems at the moment Hull's collection of successful young bands cannot help but impress. The line up tonight included 3 Hull bands and 2 other Northern stars. On a bank holiday Monday in Hull you could be forgiven for thinking that the places to be were Beverley Road and the Waterfront but you would be Read more...
