The world of the singer-songwriter is crowded, to say the least. Although there are many excellent contenders out there, it definitely takes someone truly exceptional to stand out from the crowd and make a serious impact.

Here, the Belgian forward-thinkers talk art, inspiration, futurism, and much more… Read more…

This interview is part of a larger TMMP feature which can be read in full here.
What is your general opinion of the Boileroom?
The Boileroom is one of the best music venues we’ve played and was a big part of my early teens. I’ve discovered some incredible bands because of that venue.
How did you feel when you heard about the Boileroom’s current problems?
Mainly shocked, because every time I’ve been to that venue I’ve never even noticed there’s a band playing…I’ve missed a few bands because Read more…

This interview is part of a larger TMMP feature which can be read in full here.
What is your general opinion of the Boileroom?
As a band, it’s one of our favourite venues. We’ve played there a number of times and been to countless shows ourselves. Great sound, great people, always great times. Guildford’s lucky to have such a venue!

This interview is part of a larger TMMP feature which can be read in full here.
What is your general opinion of the Boileroom?
The Boileroom is our favourite live music venue, and they’ve always been good to us there. It’s not only ground zero for up and coming Guildford bands, but also an essential part of the touring circuit – as well as the local community.
How did you feel when you heard about the Boileroom’s current problems?
It was a horrifying prospect for us. The possible closure of such a great venue is a very sad thought indeed.
The Boileroom have always been incredibly vigilant when it comes to Read more…
With Guildford venue the Boileroom facing the possibility of closure, TMMP caught up with Hanshotfirst vocalist Zander Dale to discuss the Boileroom and the state of the UK’s live music scene.
This interview is part of a larger TMMP feature which can be read in full here.
What is your general opinion of the Boileroom?
I love the Boileroom. Having a local music venue of that size so close to home is ideal! It’s the perfect size to see up and coming bands before they hit the bigger venues. It feels intimate but not squashed – and if you want, you can get right up close and personal with the band or stand 5 metres back and chill with a beer. It’s my favourite-sized venue.
Having seen larger bands such as Funeral For A Friend, Arcane Roots and Madina Lake among many others just proves Read more…

This interview is part of a larger TMMP feature which can be read in full here.
What is your general opinion of the Boileroom?
It’s the best live music venue in Guildford, and one of a very small number of places where people of a certain mindset – generally easy-going, intelligent, friendly, music-loving people – can go to meet and have fun with others like them.
How did you feel when you heard about the Boileroom’s current problems?
Quite saddened at the prospect of its loss, but I can’t say entirely surprised. The social group it caters to is quite niche, and traditionally one that a lot of people in mainstream society have always seemed to have some very misdirected Read more…
