Although most of the building, which also houses two floors of Party Space, a screen-printers and several other studios rented by professional outfits including Paradise Lost and previously Chumbawumba. was saved, New Model Army’s studio suffered a roof collapse, extensive fire, water and smoke damage and almost complete devastation.

On a cold Sunday night in Christchurch The Thomas Tripp is packed to the rafters. After missing a couple of local acoustic acts I head for the front to catch my (2nd) favourite local band. Having witnessed/promoted The Frequency almost from their early beginnings I’ve come to see if they cut it in the acoustic arena. I needn’t have worried-on this performance the futures bright. They open with “Sticky Little Finger” and “Run With You” before they dedicate their “guilty pleasure” cover just for me with the Stereophonics “Dakota”.

Phantom Limb debut video for the title track to their new album ‘The Pines’.
Phantom Limb will be released their first single, the title track to their anticipated new album, ‘The Pines’, on December 12th, via Naim Edge Records with the album to follow on February 13th.
In what was the one of the busiest nights of the year at Bournemouth’s O2 Academy and the reason was that top Welsh rock band the Stereophonics were in Town for a special one off show as a warm up for a 3 night Christmas run at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London. There are no new releases to promote as their bands last album was 2009 “Keep Calm and Carry On”. The emphasis on the evening was for the band to let their hair down and have some fun. Tonight’s hand picked support was the “Broken Vinyl Club” from Aberdare in South Wales. The four piece strode out on to the stage and confidently performed a set of 60ís inspired material along the lines of iconic 60’s bands such as The Beatles, The Byrds, and The Kinks.

Lewis sings the Sound of the Suburbs has the prviledge of kicking off the evening, Lewis is a very well know face on the local music scene and knows exactly how to warm up a crowd like this, songs such as The Specials “Too Much, Too Young”, and The Buzzocks “Ever Fallen In Love” have the right effect in preparing everybody for the night ahead

It’s that time of year again, the sleigh bells are ringing, chestnuts are roasting on an open fire and Jack Frost is nipping at your nose, ahh…
If you have already had enough of children screeching carols at you whilst you freeze your baubles off and all the typical festive cheer then come and enjoy some alternative Christmas celebrations at Champions in Bournemouth.
Featuring more talent than you could ever stuff in a stocking, the party will feature some of the best up and coming talent on the alternative music scene. At just £4 for an advance ticket (which is probably less than you had to pay for that oh so hilarious secret Santa present), this should be the one gift you treat yourself to this year.
