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.

THE ALMIGHTY / GIRLSCHOOL – 28/11/24    KK’s STEEL MILL 

MIGHTY  are on stage at 9pm to front the massive crowd. The queue for T Shirts has dwindled a little now, there were about thirty people waiting patiently for merchandise earlier, I wish I still had my ‘The Almighty’ vest, prices have risen sharply since the early 90’s ! Anyhow back on stage Ricky Warwick and the guys have launched into ‘Crucify’ the first of 22 songs tonight and all are off the early albums from 1989 to 1994.

KICKIN VALENTINA / MIDNIGHT DEVILS / WHITE TYGER – KK’s STEEL MILL  30/8/24 

The new album ‘So Hard It Hurts’ only came out in July and they rep it with the post punk offering ‘Get Laid’ and ‘Left Leanin’ which delves into a barrage of glamtastic chanting. Sam remains on his chair, getting punters to join in with the performance and sing along whenever they can, what an original and fun packed show. Also off ‘Something Bigger’ from 2018, is ‘Memphis Mile’ a stunning intro by Chris leads into a full blown piece of solid rock and roll. This causes more chaos on the floor and it’s been a while since I’ve seen an audience getting involved and enjoying themselves so much. Full credit to The Midnight Devils, that was something else.

FLORENCE BLACK/JAMES AND THE COLD GUN/MUDDIBROOKE-KK’S 6/2/24 

The rain was lashing down as I made my way to KK’s. Of course the weather didn’t deter an army of rock fans from descending on the venue, as Florence Black were in town. A soaking Tuesday night and it was packed. Three bands on the bill and my first viewing of the supports. After meeting up friends and MMH photographer Dal, it was down to the front to watch the openers.

THE ANSWER / KIRA MAC – KK’s Steel Mill 17/11/23 

I’ve been looking forward to this one for quite a while. When ‘The Answer’ emerged with ‘Rise’ back in 2006 I was such a big fan. They had a swagger, that mixed all their Celtic, Gaelic, Irish and whatever roots, to produce music that was adored by a multitude of us.
