June 13, 2017 No Comments Charlie Mott

Bournemouth 7s 10th Edition The late-May bank holiday is a crowded market for event planners. As the cold dark nights subside, festivals, markets and holiday-makers alike start to take hold. It’s therefore increasingly difficult for organisers to make their juncture stand out. The public’s choice of events is beyond a vast

April 12, 2017 No Comments Tobi Stidolph

We ventured to London’s newest cultural clubbing destination, Printworks, to see what all the fuss was about. It’s clear that venue owners – the guys who also run London’s Junction 2 festival – have spent time, money and effort on the place. The ex-newspaper printing warehouse has been fully converted

March 21, 2017 No Comments Tom Evans

Fourteenth birthdays are usually a letdown. Coming way before the memorable eighteenth and even before the sweet sixteen, the fourteenth usually blurs into the ever growing list. Intrigue’s fourteenth, however, was an exception to the rule, an amalgamation of great music and good planning that resulted in a truly memorable

Loyle Carner at Motion, Bristol

March 7, 2017 No Comments Tobi Stidolph

Loyle Carner has emerged in a golden-tipped era for British rap music. His strikingly sentimental and deeply personal debut record, ‘Yesterday’s Gone’, is very much an exclusive insight into a family photo album. Hip-hop has an affectionate streak within its lyricism and it would be fair to say that Loyle

Foreverland: Cosmic Carnival

February 23, 2017 No Comments Tobi Stidolph

Bournemouth’s favourite dance music night, Foreverland, started a little under two years ago, bringing the town’s dance music scene a new breath of life. Foreverland prides itself on being a unique event, creating an environment for clubbers of all ages to have some immature, good-hearted fun. And, this time around,

Freerange Presents AJ Tracey at Analog, Bristol

February 16, 2017 No Comments Tom Evans

We’ve been keeping a close eye on Freerange; we went to one of their first nights in Bristol last year, Champion at Timbuk2, and they have continued to deliver top lineups ever since. Saturday night was no different, with grime’s current hot topic AJ Tracey headlining an impressive roster. The

February 15, 2017 No Comments Tobi Stidolph

For their 11th Birthday, promoters Just Jack were back at Bristol’s Motion for the first time since they hosted the Toilet Party for the In:Motion Series New Year’s Day bonanza. The Toilet Party so brilliantly played host to Jethro, Tom Rio & Dan Wild and Jeremy Underground, who stole the
