Reuben James
With his slightly husky, silky evocative voice, easy smile and casual manner, singer-songwriter and pianist Reuben James has become one of the most exciting artists to have emerged in recent years on the music scene. Reuben grew up in a musical house in Bromford, Birmingham, with parents who loved music and had a huge vinyl […]
The fairy tale continues
If there is a hotel that knows how to keep its guests coming back time and again, that is the Gstaad Palace. Since it first opened its doors in 1913, this is a place that has overcome economic crises, wars and anything else thrown at it, including Covid, thanks to the determination and savoir fair […]
Watch This Space
The story of WatchPilot started quite serendipitously back in 2019. When Tim Harrison wasn’t taking to the skies as a commercial pilot, he was running a small enterprise trading watches and keeping a close eye on similar independent competitors. One day, a parcel of watches landed on his doorstep, however there was a problem: it […]
Loving the Classics
Most Christian religions and churches use the four Sundays and weeks of Advent to prepare and remember the real meaning of Christmas. The word “Advent” means “Coming” in Latin. This is the coming of Jesus into the world. In 2022, Advent starts theoretically on Sunday 27th November. Each Sunday has a different spiritual theme and […]
Faster than a cannonball
For the last year I have been living in the Nineties, and I like it. So much so that I think it might be the best decade of all, at least culturally. Decades tend to crest at the midway point, and 1995 was the year of the Nineties. It was Peak Britpop (Oasis v Blur), […]
Spotless

Beaches, lagoons and reefs
Instead of spending winter freezing in cold latitudes, it is becoming increasingly popular to sneak away to a tropical destination for a week or two… especially over half term, so the whole family can enjoy a bit of winter sun instead and swap the sideline of a water-logged football pitch on a Saturday morning for […]

Stranger At The Gate
A few weeks ago, Stranger at The Gate premiered in the JW3 community centre in Finchley, and I was lucky enough to be invited along. The 30-minute documentary concluded with a Q&A with both the Director Joshua Seftel and Mac McKinney, the main protagonist. In this piece, we experience religious conflicts mixed with vicious hate […]
Handel’s Messiah
One of the best pieces of music every written, when King George II heard the famous “Hallelujah” chorus during the London premiere of the Messiah, he was so moved that he stood and of course, everyone else in the theatre followed suit. The team from Immersive Everywhere intend to have a similar effect on the […]
