Gig Goin – Pyrogaric LIVE at McCanns

Pyrogaric’s “The Serpent” Album Launch Gig: A Night of Metal Majesty Friday, November 8, 2024. For some, just another day—but for me, it was pure metal bliss. The night was all about Pyrogaric, celebrating their sophomore album *The Serpent* with an electrifying show right here in Newport at McCann’s. Packed, intimate, and seething with raw energy, it was a night I won’t soon forget. The evening kicked off with Skunkyard, a last-minute addition to the bill, filling in for We […]

Does Torchwood Hold Up as Well as It Did 18 Years Ago? Series 2

A Series 2 Overview Last week, I published my first blog on the Newport City Radio website, exploring whether Torchwood still holds up as well as it did 18 years ago. I focused primarily on Series 1, and today I’m shifting my attention to Series 2. Like my previous blog, I’ll provide a brief overview of the series, review past and present opinions, and offer my thoughts on whether the show would resonate with audiences today as it did when […]

New NuWho the Review – Empire of Death

It all led to this... The TARDIS with its eerie groan, the mysterious identity of Ruby Sunday’s mother, and the enigmatic Mrs. Flood with her strange habit of breaking the fourth wall. Episode Six, titled ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday,’ left me confused. The episode built up to a big reveal, but what was the legend of Ruby Sunday? All I saw was a lot of running around without a clear explanation. Reflecting on ‘The Empire of Death,’ I’m still […]

New Nu-Who the review – Rogue

Gatecrashing with the Doctor: A Romp Through 'Rogue' Gate-crashing has always been one of the Doctor’s characteristics, and trust me, I’d be more than happy having the benevolent Time Lord gate-crashing a party I’m hosting—within reason, that is! ‘Rogue’ is a real good romp, complete with costumes, beautifully stately homes, and outta space bird aliens cosplaying as humans. The overall story was very gay and beautifully executed by writers Kate Herron and Briony Redman. However, there was one scene where […]

First thoughts – The Eurekas; “Falling From Your Grace”

It's fiesty! The Eurekas are back, and they are angry. Their fourth single, "Falling From Your Grace," shows the band has something to say, and they do it in style. With their sights aimed squarely at the political establishment, this track delivers a powerful punch. From their debut single, "Made You Look," the band has always made their intentions clear. Their latest offering is a follow-up to "While The World Was Ending (I Was In A Rock N Roll Band)," […]

New Nu-Who the review – 73 yards

Wales! This week’s episode brings us to the picturesque Welsh countryside. Not quite Cardiff Bay, but it’s Wales all the same. Once again, Newport Market in the City Centre has been used as a stand-in for a typical London high street. You might recall my review of Episode II: "The Devil’s Chord" where Newport Market’s roof was depicted as the rooftop of London’s Abbey Road Studios."73 Yards" explores Celtic folklore, focusing on the disturbance of a fairy circle. When we […]
