It all depends on the point of view. However, I always loved the seaside and a roughContinue reading “Place in the world – photo challenge”

Easter is traditionally the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. The exact origins of theContinue reading “Happy Easter”

Just recently I went to one of the concerts which are organised by ‘Camden Rocks Festival’ as a series of ‘presents’ shows giving some of the best new metal, rock, indie and alternative bands the chance to present themselves in front of a new audience.

The Welsh alt-rock band Dream State, comprising vocalist CJ Gilpin, guitarists Aled Evans and Rhys Wilcox, bassist Danny Rayer and drummer Jamie Lee, came to the Camden Assembly finishing off their recent tour. Founded in 2014, the quintet released one EP ‘Consequences’ inContinue reading “Dream State”
