King’s Cross, only better

When I went up to Edinburgh this year for the festival I was really impressed by just how good the new King’s Cross station is. I always remember the station as cramped and unpleasant, and that’s what it was last year when I went up to the festival, but this year it is transformed!

What an improvement.

30 years of WOMAD

I sort of wish I hadn’t folded this programme in half, but I did, and I probably won’t keep it. It was one of the best programmes for WOMAD I’ve seen in years.

Google Web Lab

I was really looking forward to seeing this exhibition at the Science Museum, but it wasn’t all I’d hoped it would be. I suppose that in many ways it wasn’t geared towards me at all, but an audience for whom a web based sequencer would be completely fresh idea.

8th Doctor: The Witch from the Well

I listened to this a little while ago and was pleasantly surprised by what a great little story it was. I always enjoy stories where there are multiple simultaneous time zones involved. Although it invariably makes it a more complex to understand. But this was a good one. A great story with plenty going on and lots of pace too.

Thoroughly recommend it.

That’s a hell of a bar

That’s the backstage bar at WOMAD this year. It was one of the best interior’s for the backstage bar I’ve seen and was a great place to hang out in.
