Ted Maul: With a sound that is only slightly edgier than Bob Holness in oven gloves, much touted Sheffield lads Little Man Tate nevertheless look set to provide a polished set of crowd-pleasers at Fat Sam’s in Dundee on 3 Oct. Bouncy riffs, cheeky lyrics, ...

Ally Brown, Nick Mitchell, Colin Chapman: The Connect Festival – this year renamed Hydro Connect thanks to a sponsorship hook-up with Scottish Hydro Electric – has got everything going for it, in theory. The location – and the journey to get there – is absolutely gorgeo...

Jason Morton: When one stops to think about the UK summer music festival scene – the sheer number of events, the stages and attractions, the amount of talent trekking across the country to entertain the drunk and drugged up crowds – one could easily thin...
