Wolves And Thieves

Goldheart%20Assembly%20March%202010

Tonight found me and S at the Institute for Contemporary Arts (ICA) for the gig to launch Goldheart Assembly’s debut album, ‘Wolves And Thieves‘. I’ve never been at the ICA before, and what an interesting place it is. They have a couple of cinema screens that show small circulation films and several permanent art exhibitions, […]

Easter Experiment

I have few plans for the Easter break this year so for a bit of fun I asked colleagues to select 3 letters of station names in Zone 2 (and one in Zone 3 because there weren’t any closer in!) to guide me towards destinations over the next 5 days, where I will take a […]

One early morning last week I was fortunate enough to be invited along to a briefing breakfast (at the swanky  Smiths of Smithfield no less) about a new lifestyle website that has launched today, Keynoir.

Today marks Earth Hour, the annual campaign to highlight climate change, and which is being symbolised this year by the lights being switched off on cultural landmarks around the world for one hour from 8:30pm tonight. We at home are being asked to do the same thing, so I will be sitting in darkness for […]
