Opinions - Blame By Darren Sant
	I didn't say you were to blame, I said I'm blaming you. I am getting heartily sick of the blame culture we live in these days. Something goes wrong in the hospital, we sue. The dentist pulls out the wrong tooth, we sue. Admittedly we are not as bad as Americans yet, thank god, but Read more...

Opinions - A Call for Peace By Michelle Dee Clark
	Martin Luther King had a dream. His dream was crushed by jack booted, hooded ignorance. There has always been wrong in this world. From the trials in Scottsboro* Alabama in the 1930's to more recent events in Jasper Texas in 1998**. We are all guilty. When you talk of Kosovans and Iraqi's you focus on what the media want you to then project that onto everyone, be it ethnic minorities or anyone Read more...

Music Reviews - The Freddy James Band at The Tap and Spile, Spring Bank 3rd Sunday of every month By Elsie Creek
	The Freddy James Band is traditional, old-school live blues playing at its finest. They like to consider their music as a variation on an old theme, changing rhythms and riffs to add interest to what is essentially a very simple format. You can see the restraint it takes the Tap's patrons not to get up Read more...

Music Reviews - harriwattsband & Friends at Blue Lamp - Wednesday 31st March 03 By Elsie Creek
	The Lamp is a great venue, in a good location. There always seems to be something going on there, be it music or madness, so it's no surprise that some patrons never seem to leave. I don't make it to as many of the events as I would like, but this was one I felt compelled to attend, despite the Read more...
