Manchester’s notorious mythmakers WU LYF burned fiercely, briefly at the beginning of this decade. They played kiss-chase games with the press before coming to an abrupt end after just one album.

His subsequent solo EPs, under the moniker Francis Lung, showed depths and imagination from a very skilled songwriter indeed. Home recorded and lo-fi they might have been, the…

1.) How did ARGH KiD get started/Meet? I started out as a Spoken Word Artist which naturally grew into music once I’d found the right producers and musicians to work with. From there it’s gone from strength to strength with gigs up and down the country and festival slots. I love the tracks that we’ve put out but if you haven’t seen us live yet then you really haven’t experienced their full force. Our live shows come with a reputation with good reason. 2.) When creating the songs how do the lyrics influence the music, or vice versa? The lyrics…
True artisans take their time over defining their distinct craft and the gradual emergence of Cut GlassKings as a simmering, British rock and roll success story is testament to that. The release of the debut Album, out on Fri 27thSeptember 2019 on Skeleton Key, marks a significant chapter for the Midlands two-piece.

More exhilarating than horrific. A fantastic spectacle of explicit theatre! There were protesters pre show and there was a cosmopolitan crowd of theatre goers to say the least. You only witness such a thing when something is going to be inevitably controversial and that aspect did not disappoint! She says with a gasp and a strategic pause… I thoroughly enjoyed this performance of The Rocky Horror Show. I find Richard O’Briens’ take on it a fresh revamp of an old time controversial classic. It felt up to date and retro all at the same time. The themes were the same…
