I see it all walking over the Millennium Bridge, I really do. Today there was a photo shoot for angular indie guitar band Dirty Pretty Things. The band is made up of a couple of ex-Libertines, whose former singer Pete Doherty can often be found lying on my East End door step, drunk, drugged and […]

I must say that I am happy that Doctor Who is back. I become afraid when a new series begins because I worry it will be a massive disappointment. Series three saw some amazing episodes, such as Family of Blood and Blink, but was let down by its silly Master-arc series finale (the turn-back-time […]
I had a rather unusual experience whilst walking through Whitechapel the other day. I was just passing the entrance to celebrity urchin hangout The Rhythm Factory when I noticed that there was a private party taking place in the venue’s beer soaked bowels. A large colourful sign in the window pronounced the evening to be […]
Why do I often awake of a morning with a hangover? (’Because you are a drunk?‘ sobriety Ed). I have totally cut down on the amount that I drink, thank you. At one stage it was a nightly activity, even a daily activity. Drink drink drink and be depressed boy.

However, the buzzing was […]
I managed to witness the scenes of disruption and chaos which followed the Olympic torch through the streets of London. The procession made its way down the Mile End Road, directly outside my flat. The torch was not there – it travelled via the river after it had got to Tower Bridge, but the cortege […]
Napoleon Fantastic announced yesterday that his excellent classic guitar pop, hook-laden band Enormous are to play a gig. After a couple of years in limbo this brilliant band are back, with a vengeance. I am so excited that I have made a mess on myself.
An invitation to play bass was forwarded my way. I would […]
I recently listed to the self-titled and only album by the little known band Clor. I very much enjoyed it and feel it is a little bit of an undiscovered gem. This Brixton-based electro-pop band, made up of former DJ’s from the eclectic Bad Bunny club night in Soho, invented a sort of new rave […]
