With their first album as Soft Play, Isaac Holman and Laurie Vincent have flipped a switch. Having ditched their problematic former name and emerged from a hiatus sparked by devastating life events and music industry malaise – Vincent’s partner died of cancer in 2020, while Holman struggled with his mental health, at one point considering quitting the band altogether to become a gardener — ‘Heavy Jelly’ is an attempt to wring the fun out of things again.

Ms. Lauryn Hill and The Fugees have added more UK and European shows to the Celebration Continues Tour, an extension of The Miseducation Anniversary Tour.

It’s a busy season for Billy Joel. The Piano Man recently closed a major chapter in his life  with his 150th and final show as part of his marathon residency at New York’s Madison Square Garden — it began a decade ago — and he will soon head across the pond for a massive standalone date at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, his only European engagement of the year and his first show in the Welsh capital. There are still rooms left for him to conquer, it seems, so he’s doing it. In anticipation of one door closing and another opening, here we take a look back at some of the pivotal live performances in Joel’s 50 plus years in showbiz. Sing us a song etc etc etc.
