Taylor Swift @ The O2, London 01/02

Ahh Taylor Swift. Anyone who says they don’t want to see a show with that many hits is clearly just lying. Prepare for mass singalongs and screaming teenage fans.

Bill Callahan @ Olympia Theatre, Dublin 02/02

The enigmatic musicians musician Bill Callahan, not content with releasing 2013 highlight Dream River just once, re-released it under the guise of Have Fun With God earlier this year. A dub version of its 2013 predecessor. Releasing a dub version of your album seems to have become a bit of a thing. We’re not sure whether we’re fans of the premise at large but we are fans of Bill Callahan so you would do well to catch him live.
