1-2-3-4 Festival, Shoreditch Park 24 July 2010
  Von Haze by Drew Cox I’m standing in the dry grass dustbowl that is Shoreditch Park. I’m watching three drummers and a phalanx of guitarists bash and thrash their way through a series of tunes. This is Action Beat, the self-styled ‘Noise Band from Bletchley”. We are here for the 1-2-3-4 Shoreditch Festival and sights such as this are eyed with idle contentment by...
Manchester 2010: The Scene That Ate Itself
Is Manchester a city that is so proud of its musical past it still trades heavily on it, or one that has just given up trying to surpass what was produced before? That revolutionary 80’s period is still leant upon, and how: The Hacienda, now a swanky apartment block; “And on the 6th day, God created Manchester” T-shirts are still available in your size; and Peter Hook, having...

Scary Mansion; Peter Hook and Multiple Uses Of The Word ‘Excellent’
Peter Hook has opened a new club in Manchester, FAC251. The opening night on Friday was summed up by friends that went as a resounding ‘Yeah – it’s OK. Nice lighting.’ Not many people, apart from some frighteningly vitriolic bloggers, could really begrudge Peter Hook another go at getting a nightclub right this time.

Peter Hook Reviews

Phantogram, Quad Throw Salchow, Grasscut at The Fly - 25 October 2009
I have been looking forward to tonight for around three years. It was back in late 2006, early 2007 (I think) that I first came across a band called Charlie Everywhere. I think that it may have been the result of a random add request on Myspace. It was an awful band name. But I fell in love with Joshua x and Sarah y and I fell hard. Since then I have kept tabs on the duo from Saratoga...
