The Usher Hall is a beautiful concert hall in Edinburgh. Since it’s construction in 1914, it has become a real favourite for so many performers due to his amazing acoustics. Let me tell you, Dermot Kennedy really tested out those acoustics when he brought his sold-out tour to The Usher Hall on 16th December.

SWG3 Wheelchair Accessible Venue Review | Dermot Kennedy
When you have a bad experience at a venue it can easily put you off ever going back again. Other times, giving them a second chance seems reasonable. As a wheelchair user, SWG3 let us down big time the first time we went to a gig at the venue earlier this year. As disappointing and frustrating as it was, we gave the venue a second chance.

Old Fruitmarket Glasgow Wheelchair Access Review | Kip Moore
You may remember a few months ago I went to the Old Fruitmarket for the first time. It wasn’t the best experience, to say the least.

Thankfully things went a lot better second time around [Read more…] about Old Fruitmarket Glasgow Wheelchair Access Review | Kip Moore

O2 Academy Glasgow is one of the most popular music venues in Glasgow. It’s the place for some of the biggest upcoming stars in music to perform for their Scottish fans.

The 1975 at FlyDSA Arena Sheffield | Wheelchair Access Review
As you will probably know by now, we love a good old road trip to see our favourite bands. Last month we headed down to Sheffield to see The 1975 at FlyDSA Arena Sheffield. This was our first trip to Sheffield and we had a great time. We stayed two nights at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Sheffield Park in a lovely king deluxe accessible room. We knew we were in for a brilliant show as we had just seen The 1975 at The SSE Hydro Glasgow two weeks prior as well as a few years ago.
