Steelhouse Fesival 2017.
Ebbw Vale, Wales, 28-30 July 2017.
That wondrously beautiful scenic trek back up the Welsh mountains has arrived. For some, that would sound peaceful and idyllic;somewhere to find solitude and release. Of course it is all that, but for others, it holds so much more. We sent veteran Rob Watkins along to soak up his seventh gathering of the metal masses.

Ebbw Vale, Wales, 23-24 July 2016.

Europe / Black Star Riders.

Black Star Riders and Europe are an ideal paring. The former; an offshoot of the legendary Thin Lizzy, is a new band with a veteran history, while the later; since reforming in 2004, is a veteran band with a new history. Tonight both acts were in Nottingham, in fiery form.

The Answer.
