Going Down - Sunday 27th August 06 - Concrete Jam at East Hull Skate Park By Dick Spring
	With pretty much most people who would have been interested in an event like this decamped to Leeds Festival, it could have been deemed a major faux pas on the part of the organisers of the first Concrete Jam, to hold the event on this particular weekend. Concrete Jam was a one day festival of music and sport incorporating competitions for both inline and Read more...

Going Down - Live Music - Saturday 24th June 06 - Urban Artz Festival at East Park By Quiffy
	What does it take to get people to come out in Hull? A free concert and hundreds, not thousands, came out to enjoy the bands and sunshine.

The opening band were pretty hardcore Read more...

Going Down - Live Music - Saturday 24th June 06 - Urban Artz Festival at East Park By Michelle Dee Photo Gallery by Mo and Tony
	I arrived at East Park at around two in the afternoon just in time to catch Nat from the Johnny Go Go Go's finishing her set at the acoustic tent. She was singing about empty food cupboards, slugs and tight-fisted bosses. The three go hand in hand quite nicely if you think about it a minute. Natalie has been bathing her toes in the bohemian stream for the past year, Read more...

Lee is scattering beats into the sunshine when I arrive. His set has an energised party vibe. Next door a younger crew have established their own dance tent Read more...

Going Down - G8 2005 Demonstration in Edinburgh by Mike Rose
	On Saturday 2nd July we joined what turned out to be the biggest political demonstration in Scottish history.

We had socialists, environmentalists, Christians, students, pensioners, and babies! Read more...
