Review: Sabaton & The Legendary Orchestra (The Legendary Tour) Motorpoint Arena, December 6th 2025 Reviewer / Photographer – Dan Mann Blimey, where does one start when it comes to this gig?

Review: Stonedead Festival 2025 Newark Showground (August 23rd, 2025) Reviewer / photographer – Dan Mann I swear Stonedead comes round faster every year. Or maybe it’s an age thing? Anyway, Stonedead 2025 arrived, straining at the leash, and ready to entertain the 5000 capacity crowd. As with every Stonedead, a mixture of bands, although this […]
