It’s run by a guy called Mick who does a very tidy short back and sides, which is harder to find than you might think. But that’s not what makes it “the best”.

Originally heralding from Southport, England, they now have members scattered over two continents from Brooklyn to Brighton. The boys have visited us so many times they’d qualify for honorary Aussie status, and Ben Ottewell (guitars/vocals) spread his musical wings by recording sounds at a […]

While her ancestor, Queen Victoria’s later years have been adapted into film and portrayed by the likes of Judi Dench et al, little attention has been devoted to her earlier years.

He was then fresh from his main songwriting duties in his band Betchadupa and was showcasing new pop tunes experimental but intensely personal.
