Depends what you want. A Labour /Lib Dem alliance might make it into a second term. A Labour /SNP alliance, however, is the one thing that could lead to a remarkable recovery in Tory fortunes as both […]

Of course, they won’t, but a Labour government that has to rely on the SNP is almost the one thing that might bring the Tory Party back to life in double quick time, as both right wingers and ‘traditional’ Labour […]

When it comes to any balance of power, it’s likely to end up with the SNP, which puts labor in a particularly difficult position as the sight of Nicola S. pushing a wheelbarrowfull of cash through impoverished […]

De-selection ahoy !

Corbyn can be as shifty as the rest when it suits him, as when asked about IRA murders.

Quite, the points made about the folly of the UK jeopardizing its trade with Europe apply even more to Scotland, given that 60% of its exports go to the rest of the UK.

Mitch Murray also got an award mention. I don’t think he got a mention on the news, although ironically, the bulk of the population probably know more of his songs.

Ninebarrow are an example of how many in the folk world diversify. Some people ( like the people in the Willows) seem to get by through being in about 5 bands, duos or whatever simultaneously. Ninebarrow appear […]

Moreover, Glitter/Gadd was convicted by three courts in two different countries.

The other issue is whether new vinyl sounds as marvellous as old. To my ears if often sounds identical to the CD version, which makes it a rather expensive option.

Alternatively, you could just get over yourselves.

Rock bands nowadays seem to be in much the same place as Trad Jazz was in the 50s. Except the gap in time between the 50s bands and their predecessors was shorter than that between todays bands and many of the […]

But how many years is it since Hot Chip supported Goldfrapp ?

Truro has both flushing toilets in Cornwall, did you mean?
