REVIEW: Emerald Street Literary Festival
In much the same way as a decent book transports you to another place or time, yesterday’s Emerald Street Literary Festival served up a welcome dose of escapism. The one-day book bonanza, run by the brilliant people from e-magazine Emerald Street, took over the charming rooms and gardens of London’s Royal Geographic Society, filling the… Read More REVIEW: Emerald Street Literary Festival
Back to my roots – Hacienda Classical review
Take a world-class forty piece orchestra, add two revered house music DJs, and challenge them to recreate the heady Madchester clubbing days of the late 80s and early 90s. On paper, it sounds risky. In real life, against the stunning backdrop of Lancaster’s Ashton Memorial monument and a searingly blue sky, everything looked favourable for… Read More Back to my roots – Hacienda Classical review

A Thai green curry-flavoured gel sitting on a perfectly rolled leaf. Not the average menu, in fact the above sounds more like the ingredients to a weird spell. But… Read More Restaurant review: The Man Behind the Curtain, Leeds

Is it too easy to track down an ear worm nowadays?
Not so long ago, if you’d told someone they could hear a song they liked, find out its name and have it blasting from a gadget slightly bigger than a matchbox in a matter of seconds, their minds may well have blown. The question ‘what the hell IS that song?’ is easily solved nowadays. Gone… Read More Is it too easy to track down an ear worm nowadays?
Should you be ashamed of your music history?
With the boom in streaming through the likes of Spotify and Soundcloud, there’s no longer a need to ‘own’ music in a tangible way. Online selling sites such as musicMagpie give us the opportunity to trade our music back catalogues for cash in a few clicks, decluttering our homes and giving us the opportunity to… Read More Should you be ashamed of your music history?
