The Orb - The Astoria

Around about 10.20, the BBC sports jingle starts up, soon followed by the theme to Sportsnight. I could have stayed home for that, but then I would have missed the Orb. When it comes to playing cheeky samples, the Orb have the art-form down to a T. When it

Barry Adamson - Oedipus Schmoedipus

Have you ever been disappointed when some music journalist tells you that such and such’s music is "cinematic", or, even worse, "the soundtrack to an unmade film"? Expecting something really special, the thrilling immediacy of pop music imbued within the drama and power of a

Voice of Reason

People these days are obsessed with money. Not exactly a startling revelation and a bit rich coming from you, I hear you cry. But the interesting thing about the current nature of this obsession is that it does not encompass care of money. The public will happily waste, or see

Sweet Charity - Preview

‘Sweet Charity’ is a musical for all the family, featuring prostitution, drugs and loads of scantily clad women. What more could any hot or otherwise blooded man from Imperial want? Get my meaning? From 1960’s Broadway to London’s West End to our very own Union Concert Hall, this
