Nights to Remember

26th, September 2010 by

Bumped into a ghost from drunken past last weekend and we started talking about places we used to frequent in the early 90′s.

Review: Beats of Rage @ 53 Degrees Club

26th, September 2010 by

While all the laughs and delirium were hitting the roof downstairs in the huge capacity of 53 Degrees, the upstairs club was bouncing sideways, in its roots. Sweating, skanking, filthy, grooving, raving. You name it.

Interview with Kitty Cointreau

20th, September 2010 by

Kitty Cointreau is late for our meeting in the Frog & Bucket by approximately 120 seconds. I’ve barely had time to get out my notebook before she bounds in, profusely apologetic whilst ordering up a vodka and coke from the bar. Dressed in an unexpectedly casual ensemble of hoodie with jeans and trainers, she’s tiny but bursting with energy, all big smiles and dazzling eyes. When [...]

Glastonferret 2010

8th, June 2010 by

Couldn’t get tickets for Glastonbury? Can’t be bothered trying to find your tent after ten hours of bands and a vat full of ale? Gotta get up with the kids in the morning? Picked up a flyer for this year’s Glastonferret this morning and looks like it could top the fun of last year’s madcap event at Preston’s Mad Ferret.

Ventured to EastZEast last night for a friend’s birthday meal. The traditional Punjab cuisine and  modern interior is obviously a big hit with fellow Prestonians as the place was packed.
