Reading Time: 2 minutes So, with somewhat better weather this year, after the horrors of the Tornado of 2009, we’ve just got back from Bearded Theory. This year we’ve had The King Blues, New Model Army and Dreadzone, plus The Wonder Stuff, Pama International, Neville Staple, Dodgy, Banco De …
Reading Time: 2 minutes So the people in the Royal Park School have been evicted, but are currently going through extensive fundraising to attempt to buy the building for cummunity use. Miranda Aria has organised this gig at the Brudenell Social to raise some funds for this, and alongside …
