Ajay and Iciar sent me a sample Spanish edition Orikaso set, on behalf of orikaso.es. The idea was, that I tried it out at Glastonbury.
This was a double-edged sword. Normally I don’t take any food or drink preparing equipment, so it meant extra bulk in the rucksack. It meant I had to […]
It was some time on Saturday afternoon when I finally conceded that 2007 was a muddy Glastonbury. By then it was mostly ankle deep and getting claggy - walking was becoming a serious effort.
Yet, I had seen Bjork, Arcade Fire, Nizlopi, The Beat, Super Furry Animals, some astonishing circus acts, and soaked in a […]
A group of us had a fun weekend in the lake district, for Mike’s stag do.

Apparently “most of the country” is not covered at “50m level”, whatever that means. Empirically, it seems to mean that you […]
With this year’s Glastonbury lineup published, I’ve been investigating some of the less well known bands who’ll be on. I might get to see them, or events might push me elsewhere. You just can’t predict these things.
Myspace really is a boon when it comes to finding new music.
This blog entry — which I’ll probably […]
