Live Review: The Lovely Eggs & The Secret Rivals

Windows are firmly sealed shut, there is but one small entrance in and out, no bar, odours abound, personal space is elsewhere, and a chisel is useful to free the soles of your shoes from the floor. In fact, it was like being back at a … Continue reading Live Review: The Lovely Eggs & The Secret Rivals

Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (8th October)

There’s only two and a bit months until the culmination of a hard year’s listening: the MM Top Tens. And what a year. How do we choose? What a bonanza 2011 has been. A certain song has dominated the school run this week. Let’s take nothing away from last week’s sing-a-long, Henry’s Funeral Shoe (Dog Scratched Ear is surely a top ten contender), but The … Continue reading Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (8th October)
