It’s no wonder to anyone that British weather at this time of year is absolutely miserable; terribly rainy and cold days are the norm. Pair that with the horrible monster that is a Sunday night (and the ever-looming Monday morning) and you have a recipe for doom and despair. With that in mind, is there … Continue reading Gig Review: Ensiferum / Freedom Call / Dragony – The Dome, London (11th January 2026)
