Music Reviews - Wednesday March 25th 09 The New Beautiful South At Nottingham Rescue Rooms By Julia Grant Live Pictures By Dave Cowan
	I wasn't planning on going to see The New Beautiful South. From the moment I heard about the band reforming without guitarist/co-songwriter Dave Rotheray, bassist Sean Welch and most importantly, without lead singer/songwriter/band leader Paul Heaton, I thought that it was an awful idea. As much as I liked the remaining band members, I just didn't ever think they'd be able to pull it off. I have to Read more...

Music Reviews - Thursday 29th March 07 - Barenaked Ladies at Leeds University Union Words and photographs by Julia Grant
	It only took us just over an hour of queuing in the cold to secure our place in the front row. Tonight's show wasn't sold out, whilst back in the States the band can sell out stadiums no problem. In a selfish sort of way, I kind of like that though. Their talent and ability to put on one of the best shows you may ever see is somewhat of a secret here in the UK, Read more...

People - An Interview With The Five O'Clock Heroes By Michelle Dee People Gallery By Julia Grant
	Mich: Where does the name Five O'Clock Heroes come from? Ant: It comes from a Jam song Just Who Is the 5 O'Clock Hero? A reviewer once referred to it as the weakest Jam single. Jules: Are you big fans of The Jam then? Ant: Musically I don't think they influence us, how we play or how we sound, but maybe on the bus we'll listen Read more...

Music Reviews - 7th February 07 - Air Traffic and Snow Fight In The City Centre at The Lamp By Michelle Dee Photographs by Julia Grant
	It's cold, wet and windy there's sharks on the TV but there's two new bands at The Lamp in Hull. Sadly Ghosts cancelled last minute so that leaves us with the shimmering Indie sounds of Manchester's Snowfight In The City Centre and headliners Air Traffic, the piano soaked Indie band it's okay to like. The former a six piece from Manchester Read more...

Music Reviews - Saturday 17th February 07 - Five O'Clock Heroes at Yo-Yo, Hull By Michelle Dee Photographs by Julia Grant

New DJ Kristian has been warming the crowd up with some Sunshine Underground and Larrikin Love. The crowd moves forward en masse as the band takes to the stage. Lead singer Anthony Ellis, Read more...

Music Reviews - Saturday 16th December 06 - The Beautiful South and Badly Drawn Boy at The Hallam Arena, Sheffield By Julia Grant Photographs by Kate Langan
	The rumours had been circulating for a fair few weeks now that this current tour aka "The GrapplingTour" was to be the band's last ever and Saturday night in Sheffield was the last date of that tour. It all kicked of well with fantastic support from Badly Drawn Boy. There were some familiar tracks but the crowd struggled to get into it as the majority of songs Read more...

Music Reviews - Saturday 4th June 05 - SideWinder, Mr Mojo, The Vultures, The Cardinals at the New Adelphi By Julia Grant
	Unfortunately I arrived late to find that I'd missed the first band of the night, The Cardinals. I was told that it had been their debut gig. No doubt I'll get another chance to catch them somewhere soon. Having already seen The Vultures play once before, I thought I knew more or less what to expect. It turns out that I can't have paid that much attention to them on that first occasion. Read more...

Featured Writers - Laura Fry
	I was born in the UK, have also lived in Holland, France and Croatia but Hull is home to me in every way. I have just moved to York after a year in Surrey which was awful. I got my degree in French, Italian and Scandinavian Studies at Hull University then an MA by Research from Nottingham in Slavonic Studies, which was basically discussing the differences between Croatian Read more...

Featured Writers - Leah Scarpati
	Leah has always been a book worm; her love affair with the written word was first nurtured by her Grandmother from an early age and it continues to this day. Her ambition has always been to be a published writer but after an uneventful chat with the careers advisor at age fourteen, she was told to get herself a proper job. So she's now a wage slave to the civil service but still loves writing. Harlan Coben once told her to 'Just write.' So she does, Read more...

Featured Writers - Mike Watts
	An 'Ull lad, born and bred, I was brought up on Orchard Park which seemed to have more 'ups' than 'downs' then and I had a good childhood there. I have been writing for a few years now and usually feel the need to pick up a pen when something rattles me, though it is nice when pure inspiration calls. I spend most of my spare time reading everything to Read more...
