Dance Like No One is Watching

Charlotte Marceau — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 00:00:00 +0000

A group of 20-somethings arrive for the dance class held in the basement of the Premium Sofa Club in Hong Kong. Their glamorous attire is more appropriate for the late-night parties the venue usually hosts; contrasting heavily with the loose-fitting joggers worn by other attendees. “Newcomers,” my guide for the night whispers. It is still early and...

Singing in the Key of Life

Laura Santamaria — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:48:56 +0000

It’s a tough call to interview Kirsty Bertarelli. The Sunday Times Rich List ranks her as the wealthiest woman in Britain, and she is a former Miss UK turned successful singer. Her biography reads like the script of a Hollywood movie: a girl from rural Staffordshire with big dreams survives a life-threatening brush with meningitis...

Hanspeter Kuenzler — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:33:40 +0000

Feist made her own records, too, but mostly she earned...

The Fairest Of Them All

Hanspeter Kuenzler — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 12:54:14 +0000

For a man as famously private as Bob Dylan, a remarkable number of Bob Dylan sightings have been recorded in Britain alone. There’s the time, for instance, when Bob turned up to view a house in Muswell Hill and was treated to a cuppa by the absent occupant’s mother. Then there’s the story – borne...

Music Review 28

Hanspeter Kuenzler — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 13:56:39 +0000

Hollie Cook, Hollie Cook (Mr Bongo)Of late, reggae hasn’t had much success in reaching an audience outside the long-established centres of fandom.
