The Great Escape on film (kind of) 🎞️
When I started this platform in 2023, I did not think that I would end up here! A truly incredible weekend, interviewing bands, running between venues, getting rained on and sampling the fish and chips.
I took these photos in the moshes, packed-out venues and intimate rooms through tired eyes on an app that replicates film.
It was a real privilege to speak to so many artists and meet so many new people. Thank you to everyone who had nothing but kind things to say about NuMuze.
Brighton you were lovely, until next time! Keep an eye out 👀

Our monthly Late Night Takeovers continue, and we’ve got an incredible one lined up for you all.
Next month we’ll be bringing Belfast powerhouse, Makeshift Art Bar. Joined by Glaswegian artist, Watters.
Ticket includes a complimentary Jameson and Ginger - limited so arrive early!
This one is going to be packed so make sure to follow the links grab your ticket as soon as possible to avoid the disappointment.
Grassroots venues, clubs, artists, promoters and creatives are all being affected. Remember without the support of all of the above, you wouldn’t know your favourite artists.
We strongly encourage everyone to sign the @freethenightni open letter and support the future of nightlife and live music culture in this country.
Rehearsal room economy: built on sound but starved of space.
One of the main fallbacks of rehearsal room economy in Belfast, lies in just that; the economy.
Prices are rising higher and higher each month while the city and its people struggle to afford the rising costs ot everyday living. You can rehearse, but only at certain hours that don’t slide with ease into the days of those working 9-5’s. You can play, but only for the staggering prices of up to £20 an hour, which immediately shoots down hundreds of people who can’t afford these prices once or twice a week, every month.
A city that prides itself on its music needs space and not just symbolic space, but physical, affordable, consistent places where musicians can experiment and fail without a meter running.

Tunes we’re loving right now.
Some you know, some you don’t… all worth your time.
