Paul WellerThe Piece Hall, Halifax15th June 2026Paul Weller is 68 years old and stillrestless,a songwriter who has spent nearly fifty years dissolving himself and starting again, from the mod fury of The Jam to the silk-and-brass sophistication of The Style Council to a solo career that has outlasted and outrun almost everything around it.

Following the premiere of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and the ending of Hacks final season, Emmy winning actress and comic Hannah Einbinder finds herself in a very unfamiliar position. Turning 31 this year with a healthy career to boot and many dreams and achievements already unlocked, there is clear gratitude and a sense of stability that she can carry on forward while representing her values but it is clear she is just getting started. Camp Miasma is a horror slasher comedy by Jane Schoenbrun who made the trans coming of age I Saw the TV Glow starring…
Photo by Todd FoxOtis Gibbs hails from Wanamaker, a suburb of Indianapolis, Indiana. He now lives with his partner, musician and visual artist Amy Lashley, in that alt-country mecca, East Nashville. His father, grandfather and uncle played music and introduced him to old-time country and bluegrass. He tells of being taken to a bar as a youngster by a friend of his aunt’s, who was supposed to be babysitting him. The man would make money playing piano, while Otis sang along. Otis’ roots are very firmly working-class, and this is important in understanding the political nature of some of his…
We’ve commented before about how wide the range of bluegrass is now, and this time is no exception. From Scotland, we have something based on Celtic Folk, A New York bluegrass power trio, and a new artist who’s still too young to vote or drink. Add to that bluegrass experimentation from a very distant shore and a re-release that couples English sitcom humour with music that would be just at home in Kentucky as Kensal Rise, and we have something for everyone. Or at least that’s the hope…From the whispered introduction forward, WaywardJane’sNeptune is something special. While we know that…

A live comeback was booked for 2020, but then postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Based in Boldon Colliery, England, Johnny Pears showcases his songwriting approach on “Night Crawlers”.

In times when life feels overwhelming, one of the best ways to momentarily escape is by diving into the world of horror films. While they may seem like an odd choice for distraction, horror movies can be surprisingly cathartic, offering emotional release, the thrill of fear, and a safe space to confront feelings of anxiety or frustration. Here are five horror movies that not only provide a break from the world’s problems but can also help you process them in unique ways. Escape from the Information Overload and Fear of Global Collapse Why Watch It: George A. Romero’s Night of…
Horror movies often get a bad rap. They’re seen as gratuitously violent, psychologically damaging, and a blight on society. But beneath the surface of jump scares and gore lies a genre with surprising emotional depth. Horror films can offer catharsis, a release of pent-up emotions, in ways that other genres simply can’t. By confronting our deepest fears and anxieties in a safe, fictional space, we can process them, understand them, and ultimately overcome them. Here are seven horror films that offer unique cathartic experiences: Let the Right One In (2008) Directed by: Tomas Alfredson What’s it about? A bullied young…

Much of the blame for this should be laid at the door of the writing. David Koepp is a scribe with a mixed bag of a track record, illustrated by the fact he penned the screenplays for both the magnificent Jurassic Park and the abominable Jurassic World Rebirth. Here, he’s taken an original story from Spielberg and built it into a 145-minute conspiracy thriller/chase movie that neither thrills nor gets any momentum going. In fact, it feels like a first draft that no one got around to actually scrutinising. That can be the only explanation for Disclosure Day’s sizeable flaws.…
Photo by Aaron IvesIn the tradition of bands naming themselves after specific places or landmarks, Winnipeg-based Leaf Rapids are named for a remote town in northwest Manitoba. Not necessarily easy to locate on a map, anyone would be hard-pressed to find the town purely by chance. It takes a bit of effort, and the same can be said for the band, but for the adventurous musical explorer, they are definitely worth venturing off the beaten track to seek out, as there is a trove of melodious sounds to be discovered.Formed in 2015, the band consists of Keri and Devin Latimer…
