Based on the Irvine Welsh book of the same name, Porno has already had one adaptation – on the big screen in Trainspotting 2 back in 2017. Like the movie, this is only a loose adaptation of the book and loose is really the best word for it as not a lot happens in this show. After […]

In November last year Scalextric kindly sent me their “Back to the Future vs Knight Rider” set to review.One year later and they’ve once again brought a big smile to my face and sent me their Micro Scalextric Batman vs The Riddler set to review.As with the previous set, it was far better to make […]

I’ve got a complicated relationship with Adrian Edmondson. Quite a sweeping statement, as I think he’s be surprised to hear he was having any sort of relationship with me. But alas yes, for I have been in love with him since the age of 17. While Rik (Mayall his ‘comedy partner’) was the brash, sexy, […]

After finally being able to get out and about again and covering Monopoly Events Liverpool Comic Con back in April, it was great to be back in the BEC Arena for another Manchester Comic Con.

Bez -The Man, The myth.Bez (Mark Berry) what do I, a middle-aged woman in North Wales know about this person? NOT a lot. During the heyday years of The Happy Mondays at the Hacienda, I was in a one bed flat, flat broke, changing nappies. So, music wasn’t really that big on my list. Neither […]

 Joe Satriani was technically touring not one but two albums at the Palladium, 2020’s Shapeshifting and last year’s The Elephants of Mars. We all know why this was the case, let’s not go into that – but suffice it to say the crowd were thrilled to see him back. The show included two sets, just over […]

A mere 6 weeks after watching Tragedy at a home town gig in New York opening for Steel Panther, I had the pleasure of seeing them again at the o2 Academy in Islington, this time playing a headline set. Before the “Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees and beyond” hit the stage however, was the […]
