You might’ve clocked that I didn’t post an artist spotlight in November. That’s because I thought I’d deliver a quick-fire rundown this month of some key talent to catch in 2023 instead. So here’s an easy-to-jot-down whip-round of the insane outfits I didn’t manage to see live in 2022, which are top of my gigging wishlist… 

• Sick Joy 
• Last Boy
• Majesty Palm
• Dead Pony
• VUKOVI
• The Night Café
• Cassyette
• Pale Waves
• Gang of Youths
