MARIO VAYNE announces new album ’THE MOMENT’  

BIO - Hailing from Queensland, Australia, Mario Vayne is a remarkable talent. The singer, guitarist, and songwriter embarked on his musical odyssey at the tender age of seven, nurtured by a household resonating with the rhythms of his musically inclined Italian parents. Fuelled by an unquenchable passion for his guitar, Mario had crafted his first song by the age of eleven. Despite his innate talent as a singer and songwriter, his shyness kept his music hidden from the world. Mario’s early career saw him lighting up the club circuit, impressing audiences with his exceptional vocal range as the frontman of various bands in Australia and the UK.

RONNIE ROMERO / ABSOLVA  KKs STEEL MILL WOLVERHAMPTON  6/3/25 

A lot of us were coming out of hibernation for this treat of a gig tonight. ‘Ronnie Romero’ is gracing us along with his band and the former ‘Rainbow’ man must be one of the top vocalists ever billed to perform at KKs. It’s the first night of the tour and the room is pretty full for the Chilean singer, support comes from the Manchester metal band ‘Absolva’ who are promoting their new album ‘Justice’. I catch up with a few friends, chat to my photographer mates and then find a spot near the barrier, to witness this superb line up.

WRATHCHILD Feat ROCKY SHADES / STILL HERE IN THE FREAKSHOW  EP   17/2/25 

I was sat in a biker bar in Worcester on a Saturday afternoon, must have been around 1982/83, it was packed with local gangs mingling over pints and discussing the latest bikes. When in walked ‘Wrathchild’ in stack heels and full stage gear, they’d just finished a signing session or something near by.
