Over the years, Flight Facilities have continued to deliver their fans new live show formats and music experiences. From the studio to the DJ booth, to the biggest live stages, be it Ibiza all-night long DJ Sets to performing live with world-renowned orchestras; they continue to reimagine how they connect with people.

Most recently, they have presented their famed Decades Mix series, which will be brought to life on stage at Yours and Owls!

One Night at The Muster
Gympie Music Muster Amamoor State Forest Queensland

From the onset, one night at Gympie was not enough. We arrived early Thursday afternoon to find the forest bulging. Campers were forced into overflow areas due to record ticket sales. For the first time in history, the four-day passes were sold out before the event started, and the number of attendees was estimated to be over 45,000, which is incredible given the oversaturation of festivals in 2023. Gympie has always been on the musical fans’ bucket list with a line-up dominated by country. The vibe from the onset was one of relaxation and fun. The transition into the camping area was done with ease; a massive shout out to the volunteers who were pinnacle in making this happen.

Album Review: Luke Morley – Songs From the Blue Room

LUKE MORLEY – SONGS FROM THE BLUE ROOM
Released – 23rd June 2023
Conquest Music

Luke Morley has stood at the very heart of UK rockers Thunder since 1989 as their guitarist, chief songwriter and producer. 

He’s been a lynchpin in their 14 albums’ success and served a crucial role in building up these rock heroes’ loyal fanbase and enduring popularity, helping Thunder enjoy 7 UK Top 10 albums and 18 Top 40 singles: impressive metrics, but there’s more to Luke than most know or expect, and his new solo album Songs From the Blue Room brings other less well-known aspects of his talents into the limelight.

Review and photos by Peter Coates – www.facebook.com/InsideEdgePhotography

Mike Ross, whose album we recently reviewed, doing a low key solo show as part of the Jimmy C Blues Sessions at the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End – just him, a left-hooker with a bunch of guitars, one 12 string acoustic and two steel resonators, and showing his versatility with the rawness of the performance.
