The Wombats bring chaos and charm to a triumphant show The O2 Arena can be an imposing venue, but for The Wombats, it feels like a second home.  Author - Josh D Having performed for thousands of adoring fans in Nottingham the night before, they arrived in London with the same effortless confidence, blending sharp wit, commanding stage presence and sheer musical expertise.  This wasn’t just a greatest-hits spectacle. This was a celebration, weaving old favourites with highlights from their latest album, Oh! The Ocean, in a set that felt both polished and infectiously chaotic. Opening with Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come, the trio set the tone for the night. The recorded version is knowingly nonchalant, but live, it took on a new energy, driven by frontman Matthew Murphy’s effortless vocal control and deft multi-tasking.  They managed to switch seamlessly between singing, keyboards and guitar. Tord Øverland Knudsen and Dan Haggis flanked him with tight harmonies a...

Mihailo Ivanovic kept his nerve to slot home a last-minute penalty, handing Millwall a dramatic victory. The game seemed destined for a goalless draw until Ben Wilmot was penalised for pulling down Josh Coburn in the box as he attempted to latch onto Wes Harding’s long throw. Ivanovic stepped up to coolly convert from the spot, sealing all three points for the Lions. Author - James P After a quiet first half, Stoke came closest to breaking the deadlock just after the hour mark when Bae Junho surged down the left and unleashed a powerful strike that crashed against the crossbar. Millwall goalkeeper Lukas Jensen then produced a crucial save to deny Wouter Burger from 12 yards, before Jordan Thompson was in the right place to head Japhet Tanganga’s goal-bound effort away. But the late penalty drama ensured it was the hosts who took the spoils. The win moves Alex Neil’s side to within five points of the play-off spots, while Stoke remain just four points above the relegation zone. Havi...

The Bug Club once again delivered a high-energy performance show. A fantastic night of music at the Electric Ballroom back in February Author - Josh D How was the support act? Opening for one of the sharpest bands on the circuit right now is no easy task, but Holiday Ghosts rises to the challenge with ease. From my vantage point in the thickening crowd at the Electric Ballroom, they seem almost disarmingly young for a group so self-assured.  Their set is anchored by the impressively steady drumming and vocals of Kate Raskin, while Sam Stacpoole’s sumptuous guitar work, alongside his own vocal contributions, adds further depth. With snappy songs and infectious hooks, they displayed serious raw talent. More music stories and gig reviews from London Super News The main event The last time I caught The Bug Club, in front of a smaller London crowd, they left me stunned.

Another defeat for QPR as they remain 14th in the Championship First-half goals from Tommy Conway and Anfernee Dijksteel had put Boro in control. A late strike from Steve Cook ensured a nervy finish, with QPR pushing hard for an equaliser in stoppage time. Author - Lucy W The few hundred QPR fans that travelled up to Middlesbrough For Marti Cifuentes' QPR, who slip to 15th, this was a seventh defeat in nine, a worrying slump as they head into the season’s final stretch. The win lifts Michael Carrick’s side back to eighth, just three points behind Coventry in the final play-off spot.  Boro had endured a dire run earlier in the year, losing five in a row from late January into February, but looked to have turned a corner with back-to-back victories before their defeat at Swansea. That made Conway’s 11th-minute opener all the more significant, the striker turning in Finn Azaz’s low cross from the byline to spark a huge sigh of relief around the Riverside. Boro could have doub...
