London Blackheath Halls
I have always enjoyed the music of Tindersticks, and with the release of their new album 'Can Our Love'on Beggars' Banquet, it sees the band back on form after the disappointing 'A Simple Pleasure'. Blackheath Halls is a nice venue to see the band for me.
Reviews
The Something Rain (2012)
Fine latest album from the much acclaimed Tindersticks, which proves to be slight departure from their usual sound
Falling Down a Mountain (2010)
Excellent eighth album of often surprisingly upbeat rock from notoriously melancholic Nottingham-based group, Tindersticks
Boobar Come Back to Me (2008)
Captivating new vinyl single from Tindersticks which while unlikely to win them any new fans further still consolidates their reputation
The Hungry Saw (2008)
Excellent vinyl only comeback single and title track from their new album for Tindersticks, which has an exceptional B side
The Hungry Saw (2008)

Waiting For The Moon (2003)
