Somewhat emotional moment, as we are singled out in the last ever Nigthshift by our old showbiz chum Osprey (Its All About The Music, Oxford City Festival). A lovely man, with impeccable taste.

If you turned up to last night's birthday gig you are brill, ace, and skill, just like our poplicious performers Bloody Fiasco, Bellyful band , and Wundabyte.

Details of our June gig will be up here in no time at all, so let eyes = peeled.

So long, and thanks for all the Little Fish. Get your commemorative final Nutshaft and wave it a tearful goodbye.

Thanks, Ronan.

“This is the end / My only friend the end”

By most accounts Jim Morrison was a bit of a dick, but come on, ‘The End’ is a proper goth banger. And it feels wholly appropriate that the last ever issue of Nightshift goes online on World Goth Day, what with the ostentatiously dramatic black front cover, as if we’re all in mourning or something. Don’t worry, no one’s died, though ask me again after I’ve done delivery day in a bloody heatwave next week.

Anyway, here it is -http://nightshiftmag.co.uk/2026/jun.pdf - not just the last but also, I think, the biggest issue I’ve ever done. Lots to fit in you see, as I’ve indulged in some nostalgia. Not too much hopefully as music should never get stuck in a nostalgia pit, else all we’ll end up with is a procession of tribute bands playing… hmmm.

A bit of a look back at some of the front covers from over the last 35 years, and even a reprint of the first ever gig guide from March 1991. Spoiler: there’s loads more going on in Oxfordshire now than there was back then.

But there’s also most of the usual gubbins: new local releases, an Introducing feature on Lunar Kites, reviews of recent gigs, five pages of upcoming shows and, heck, I managed to clear the Tracks backlog in one sitting. I am now welded to the Nightshift office chair and Studio 77 are working out how to make my death look like an accident. Hey, funk fusion bands – you are now free to indulge your frankly obscene passion.

Any road up, hope you enjoy it. A massive thank you as ever to all the good people who contributed reviews and photos, to all the incredible musicians who give us stuff to write about and photograph, the fantastic venues and promoters who provide a place for those musicians to play, and to you lot for going out and supporting it all. Keep up the good work.

So, once more unto the breach, as Henry V might have said. He passed away at 35 too, just like Nightshift. And, much like Jim Morrison, was both brilliant and a bit of a dick.
