apologies for teh crap live pictures
I’ll be absolutely honest – I don’t really get Adam Green. This was really a gig I went to with someone else rather than for myself so it puts me in a slightly odd situation reviewing it. I can’t say a lot of his work clicks with me, maybe I’m [...]

A day trip to Leeds.
Posted in Photography, Places, Yorkshire, tagged city, Leeds, town, Yorkshire on March 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Yesterday I went to Leeds – I took a few photo’s which on the whole didn’t come out as excitingly as I’d hoped, but anyhows, here they are anyway.
The market is lovely – A real old fashioned proper northern market building, it’s been really well looked after as well.
I was impressed by the ornate [...]
The Carnival of Culture 2008
Posted in Lancashire, Lancaster, Photography, Places, tagged Carnival of Culture, Centros Miller, Lancashire, Lancaster, march, protest on March 2, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The Carnival rolled into town on the back of strong feeling about protecting Lancaster from developers who propose to destroy green space and replace the unique feel of the city with more identikit big business shopping opportunities. Some of the notable causes today included opposition to the proposed Heysham ‘link road,’ protest against the almost [...]

North of Lancaster you can take a path up to Caton, via Halton and Crook O’ Lune – You have to go under the brutal 60’s archetecture of the motorway bridge.
The graffiti was of varying quality but some of was great! – These were my two favourite pieces, though a third really interesting one had [...]
Lancaster Castle Firework Display

Hey, it’s not all post indie, bhangra and dancehall here y’know…
This was my first time at the annual firework display and if the experience of walking in a large crowd through darkened narrow streets arround the castle wasn’t medieval enough for me, I don’t know what would be. It’s amazing that this half hour display [...]

Three bands that got it loud at ‘Get it Loud in Libraries‘ – Lancaster Library’s fabulous and deservedly prize winning semi occasionally regularly excellent series of music nights. A big and alarmingly youthful crowd gathered squished in amongst the shelves in the music section and were treated first to Leed’s Sky Larkin, a three piece [...]
Luneside meandering

With hangovers stubbornly intact from an evening at the Gregson we set off on a head clearing wander along the banks of the River Lune. It was Saturday and so Lancaster City were playing against Wakefield FC at the Giant Axe (a game the Dolly Blues triumphed 1-0 in.)
Walking past the ground and under the [...]
Houdini’s Suitcase: Theatre Review (Dukes Theatre, Lancaster)
Posted in Lancashire, Lancaster, Literature and Arts, theatre on September 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Pickled Image’s devised work Houdini’s Suitcase promises a dreamlike world, a piece of visual poetry and delivers pretty much on that pledge. An intriguing mixture of performance, puppetry and a rich soundtrack, the action centres arround an old man on a railway station surrounded by his suitcases. Each of the suitcases seems to hold a [...]

Situated in the beautiful Galloway Hills, the Wickerman festival is a lovely small to mdium scale festival with a laid back atmosphere. This years festival had a pretty good line up to compliment the the natural surroundings and Scottish bonhomie.
Sounds ranged from the laid back celtic tones of folk quartet Galloway (formed especially for [...]
A walk in the park

After attempting and failing the herculian 30 minute walk to the park some 3 or four weeks ago our determination to reach our destination couldn’t have been greater and as such, we only stopped in one pub along the way and even then I had coffee. Least said about the “Red Mist” rasberry bitter my [...]
