A Secret Revealed - The Hutt Street Party!
By Rich Mills

For many years I had heard of the myth of the Hutt Street Party.

Spoke in whispers across the Avenues enclave for years, many had heard of it, quite a few had been to one, but still many it seems are in the dark.

Basically it goes like this.. By word of mouth you get to hear about the party, which goes on in the house on Hutt Street. Hence the name!

The place is a wonder to behold, and one of the best kept venue secrets in the city.
I spent the vast majority of the night plonked in front of the bonfire in the garden, feeling all tribal and one with nature!

People from across the world, or at least west Hull, joined together to experience this little gem of a party experience.

So if one evening you are in Pave or Lamp, or some such café bar type place, and you here the whisper of Hutt Street. Take notice, as you may find yourself taking a magical journey into Hull's underground party scene.

My story begins in Arundel Street and wanders away to the shallow end of Holderness Road next door to the tram sheds and opposite the old Astoria Cinema, which was at that time the New Astoria Cinema.

Articles - Speed Dating By Ash Jamieson
I've seen it. I've peeked down the rabbit's hole. A large group of people all looking for love in a pub on White Friar Gate. Great to watch, daunting to be a part of but on the whole, good fun all round. Speed dating, for those that have never witnessed the phenomena, is exactly what it sounds like. Dating at speed. A group of people split down Read more...

Articles - The Oscars 2004 By Steve Rudd
The highlight of Hollywood's calendar, The Oscars seem to come around faster every year. Our man in LA to report back to Britain on proceedings was Film 2004 face Jonathan Ross who didn't do a bad job at all, but seemed hampered by his panel of three accompanying guests in the form of Welsh (supposed) funnyman Rob Brydon, and the impersonating duo of Ronni Read more...

Articles - Pregnancy - Revisited by Nicholas Boldock
Life - it's a funny old game. Love, loss, rejection, success, pride, humility, happiness, sorrow - all part and parcel of the old cradle-to-grave board game. Personally, my life has taken a turn for the "bloody hectic" over the last week or so. And I think I now have an idea what this funny old game is all about. Those of you who are lucky enough to have no problems with short.. Read more...

Articles - Radio Airplay - Why just go for English Radio Shows? - It's a Big World Out There
By Glenn Williams (Lazyswede productions)
Bands are always complaining that they cannot get their CD's played on air and it's true, for most unsigned bands is not easy unless it's something really special. There are shows Like Alan Raw's Raw Talent which does its best to give all bands an opportunity to be heard which is very good.

Articles - Hull, Hell And Incidents, Deliver Us.
By Patrick Henry
My arrival in Scarborough at the age of zero happened only months after my folks moved here from the Hull area, so that their voices and views impressed me stronger than those in my birthplace. Mother said Hullers look down or up to nobody, but Scarborians look always over their shoulder jealous of anyone having more than deserved, or more than grabbed by themselves. Read more...

Articles - "The Garden - 29th May 2003" By Nadie
We sit together in the warm afternoon sun. The garden is in full bloom, she has worked so hard on this garden, planting and digging, it's a beautiful sight, full of colour. She turns to me and says 'I want to be here to watch my plants grow'. I reach for her hand and squeeze it,'I know, I know you do'. It seems so unreal to sit there and talk of death, of plans for her funeral.Read more...

By Squirrel
After visiting thisisUll.com My only visit to Hull was with a house-mate while at college - taking in the Hull fair and riding a couple of the rides. The 'Enterprise ' and a loop the loop one I seem to recall after a few of the amber nectars many moons ago. I was interested in the article 'Diary from a detox'.

Articles - Our Telephone Pole By Mo
Poking my head out of the window I asked "Can I take some pictures for the website?". "No problem came the reply" from Alan the team leader looking up from the base of the pole. Another story lands in my lap I thought, as I unloaded the battery charger and slipped the first rechargeable into our 150 quid Minolta digital camera. Read more...
