After an enjoyable previous day at Tons Of Rock Festival I started the day with a little swim in the hotel pool, which did wonders for my crunchy shoulders and sore lower back.

Festival Review: Nova Rock 2024 – Day 1 (Thursday 13th June)
It’s hard to believe it has been five years since we last attended Nova Rock Festival. Upon entering the site, I instantly felt right at home again. Punctuality has never been my strong point, and we were originally planning on arriving with enough time to explore the festival site.

Classic Covers: Palaye Royale – Mad World
First up, I love this song. I love Tears For Fears' original and I've been pleasantly surprised by most of the covers that have appeared over time. Michael Andrews and Gary Jules dir a superb version for the (disappointing IMHO) film Donnie Darko, but there have been swathes of others.
