Articles - My Youth Days at Hull Fair by Barry Sleight
|
|
Hull Fair has always played an important role in my life. As a kid we all went to the fair as one big family. My Grandad and Granny came with us as did many of my cousins. I remember how exciting it used to be as you got nearer and could see the lights and smell popcorn and hotdogs and hear the music.

Music Reviews - Sidewinder Saturday 27th September, Silhouette Club by Albert Dukes.
|
|
Where many local bands are poor copies of national trends, Sidewinder don't fit neatly to a single comparison, unlike say, The Paddingtons, who clearly want to BE the Libertines (sort it out lads, it's like a tribute) and Turismo, who want to be The Coral, Favours, who want to be the Yeah, Yeah Yeahs (admittedly with a bass player). Sidewinder sound like everything and nothing.
