Day 11 of #FrontRowAdventChallenge and it's the song I had on repeat in the summer from 86TVs 🎶 ☀️ @the-frontrow.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/7Jb5DZ...

Door Number 11 on the Front Row Advent Calendar and we're going back to summer with our "Song on Repeat this Summer". With their June release "Midnight Butterflies", our song on repeat was First on my List by @seagirls.bsky.social! youtube.com/watch?v=1OIpVp… #frontrowadventchallenge

Albums of the Year 2024 #8 Once Upon a Weekend, Corella "This is music made for the here and now, capturing the thrill of freedom, the weight of nostalgia, and the joy of living in the moment." thefrontrow.online/2024/12/10/a...

Day 9 of #FrontRowAdventChallenge and it's favourite festival set of 2024. I didn't do many this year but I did manage to see Richard Ashcroft at one in Wigan and it was beyond incredible to finally see him live ( minus the rain) open.spotify.com/track/3ECO4w... @the-frontrow.bsky.social

I'm sharing this today for my #FrontRowAdventChallenge as my breakout artist of the year @the-frontrow.bsky.social This lovely Scottish lass, Katie Nicoll has done lots of support slots this year, she's got her own Glasgow headline SWG3 Poetry Club 15/2/25 🎶 open.spotify.com/track/5bMebL...

Day 7 #FrontRowAdventChallenge @the-frontrow.bsky.social The Most Underrated release of 2024 I think more people need to listen to this from Be Charlotte 🌟 🎶 open.spotify.com/album/2M70mK...

Day 7 and it's the "most underrated release of 2024" For me it's About Faces with Learn to Surf. With less than 5K streams on Spotify this really should have more love. #frontrowadventchallenge open.spotify.com/track/7yO7Fair…

#frontrowadventchallenge Day 4 2024 guilty pleasure. Gonna go with the return of Linkin Park open.spotify.com/track/2PnlsT...

#FrontRowAdventChallenge Day 5: A song you always get the words wrong to. I'm pretty sure I'm only ever about half right singing what Ciaran is on The Barrens! Beautiful tune x @thepainting.bsky.social open.spotify.com/wrapped/shar...

#Frontrowadventchallenge Day 6: Biggest earworm of 2024 open.spotify.com/track/27w0RH...

Absolutely wiped out with COVID right now. This better clear for The Clause and CVC next week or Christmas is ruined.

Albums of the Year 2024 #6 Midas, Wunderhorse "What emerges is an album that feels untamed yet deliberate, personal yet communal—a near-perfect reflection of a band finding their true voice." thefrontrow.online/2024/12/06/a...

Door Number 6 of the #frontrowadventchallenge "Your Biggest Earworm of 2024" - that one song you just can't stop singing at all times of day. For me, Fever Dream by The Clause has been stuck in our heads since the summer! #frontrowadventchallenge open.spotify.com/track/0GYauY...

Albums of the Year 2024 #5 Millenials, @thesnuts.bsky.social "This is a band at the peak of their powers, unafraid to experiment but wise enough to know what works. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer, Millennials is a record worth your time." t.co/P2GCgkhyNo

LIVE REVIEW: Sam Fender at @firstdirectarena.bsky.social, Leeds "Packed with heartfelt moments, stunning production, and a setlist that had something for everyone, this was the kind of gig that stays with you." thefrontrow.online/2024/12/05/liv…

Day Three of the #frontrowadventchallenge - today it's your "Album of the Year 2024" Behind our door three is I Wonder If The World Knows by The K's - a standout debut that I played on repeat all spring & summer. What's behind your door today?

Missed yesterday but will start with @thepainting.bsky.social for Day 2 with Repentance as the best song I heard live this year 🎶 #FrontRowAdventChallenge open.spotify.com/track/5nS2CE...

#frontrowadventchallenge Day 2: The best song I saw live could've been just about anything from Red Rum Clubs victorious homecoming at the Arena but this lifted the roof off. open.spotify.com/track/4N5EHN...

Day 2 - The Best Song We Saw Live in 2024 Behind today's box it's Would You Rather Be Lonely performed by Red Rum Club at their Liverpool Arena headline. A seminal performance in their career topped off in real style. #frontrowadventchallenge

Day 1 - first song I played today Molly Lewis - On the Lips #frontrowadventchallenge

We've opened up door number one on the #frontrowadventchallenge. My first song I listened to today was Siobhan Winifred with Stay For Good. As soon as you've played something today let us know what it was with the hashtag #frontrowadventchallenge

Albums of the Year 2024 #3 Midnight Butterflies - @seagirls.bsky.social "These are songs meant to be shouted back at the band, whether you’re in a packed arena or driving with the windows down." thefrontrow.online/2024/11/28/a...

Time to go back through the year and re-discover the ten albums that we couldn't get enough of! #1 @shedsevenofficial.bsky.social - "A Matter of Time A record that captures everything that makes this band great while standing proudly as a modern masterpiece. thefrontrow.online/2024/11/26/a...

As we expand The Front Row I'm looking for some fresh blood to join the team. If you love going to live music, heading to the theatre, and supporting grassroots arts then get in touch - we've been inundated with requests to cover shows nationally and unfortunately I can't do it all myself!

Out of Nothing was one of the first albums I remember buying at Woolworths. So many memories for me and my dad listening to Embrace on repeat in the car every morning. Tonight Danny McNamara and the @embraceband.bsky.social guys absolutely smashed it. 🎸 Ashes 📍 Victoria Theatre, Halifax
