Hello again from Guest Editor.
Well, today I met up with a friend for coffee in town. We had originally made plans to visit Cafe Rouge in Frederick St however upon arriving it was too busy. In hindsight it was pointless to try and get a table in there at 2pm on […]
Another guest editor has kindly supplied a review of the recent Mylo gig. Read on….
I was lucky enough to have the fortune of attending the Mylo concert on Wednesday night at the Corn Exchange, Edinburgh. It was Mylo’s opening gig of the “Destroy Rock and Roll” album tour and I can safely say it […]
