  • From the inside: See Emily Play’s experience at Tramlines

    So, just before Tramlines, we asked Emily Ireland (she of See Emily Play) to write about her experiences playing with an orchestra at the Library Theatre. Here’s her response, verbatim: 

  • Lost Gems: Faith No More – King for a day, fool for a lifetime

    From time to time, we like to talk about albums that time has forgotten about. Lost Gems is a column dedicated to albums that were overlooked in their time or simply don’t get that much press today, and we think it’s a damn shame. This time around, we invited Simon Roberts (Morricone Dancehall, The Farewell…

  • Roger Eagle – Sit down! Listen to this!

    One day, when I was fifteen, I fell down a kind of rabbit hole into a dank Dickensian cellar and discovered a parallel universe called The Magic Village. The cast of characters I met there became part of my life story. Underground club, underground culture, now buried under the Arndale centre, along with the bag…

  • Seth Lakeman – Tales from the Barrel House

El clima ya esta nublado (bendito verano Mexicano) y me invita a pasar. Un gemido tras una puerta revela que Renee tiene una ultrasimpatiquísima perrita llamada Mia. Con una mano…

  • Tramlines 2012 – Guest review #3

    Tramlines 2012: Sunday 22nd July We asked people on Twitter and Facebook to send their reviews of Tramlines. About 3 people answered (ok, 4, but that was a spambot). Here’s another review by Simon Roberts. 

  • Tales of the Pill Generation : Egregious

    It’s the mid 60s and even if the kids don’t know it, the wave has reached a watermark and will roll back in a few years. My dad was Mexican. My mom was American. They met through work, married in San Diego and moved to Los Angeles with three kids on tow. I was the…
