Becky Hill – First Direct Arena, Leeds. 16.10.24 – Backseat Mafia
It’s been 10 years in the making, but finally Becky Hill, known for her powerhouse vocals and dance pop bangers, headlines an arena tour for the first time. All the way to the arena in Leeds, I’m met by cowboy hat-wearing groups of fans queuing excitedly to get their spot on the floor, fully intent on dancing their hearts out.

Gone are the bright colours and troupe of dancers, and instead, in the early part of the show, she is accompanied simply by a drum kit and keys. A trio of backing singers, clad…

Aussie independent darlings, Hussy Hicks, release gripping new blues track, Fool On The Hill on back of news of upcoming album – Backseat Mafia
16 years in, and the fiercely independent and hard-working Hussy Hicks, continue to bring us truly wondrous new music. This time, it is the southern blues-inspired Fool On The Hill, the opening track from their forthcoming album, Swimming In Uncertainty, which will be their tenth long-player. The song was penned by Julz Parker, the band’s amazing guitarist and features extra guitar work from another of Australia’s finest on 6 strings, Minnie Marks, who adds some mean slide guitar, evoking memories of the sounds of Little Feat and the late great, Lowell George.
