Support act #1 – The Lowly Knights A lovely bunch of people. Support act #2 – Iain Archer Didn’t really get any good photos. Didn’t really care. Snow Patrol… Not quite Ward Park maybe, but still really good. The visuals were great throughout, like the people walking around the Odyssey during How To Be [...]

Murdered: Mark Quinsey, Stephen Carroll, Patrick Azimkar I love how God has given us the Psalter with praises we can sing in any situation. Perhaps this should have been Northern Ireland’s national anthem over recent days. Psalm 10 Why, O LORD, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? [...]

Guest writer Alistair Rolleston with the first part of a double album review. “‘If this isn’t our best album, we’re irrelevant’ Oh dear, dear Bono. In future let’s not be so hasty in making comments, shall we? I think I need to apologise. Many are not going to like this review. Why? Because many people [...]

Buoyed by the success of the original song on the Viva la Vida album, including the accolade of being used in the Senior Camp 2008 Compilation Video, Coldplay’s Life in Technicolor II actually has some words. More importantly it has this utterly amazing video.
