Gig review: Man/Woman/Chainsaw at Rescue Rooms

Fri 09 Oct 2026

Let’s start with a little history lesson. Around the late 2010s, a scene began to emerge based out of the south of London. This was a scene full of experimental and boundary-pushing artists, all based around The Windmill in Brixton.

Wed 29 Jul 2026

The way small businesses market themselves in towns like King's Lynn has quietly transformed over the past few years. The hand-drawn poster in the window and the leaflet through the door still have their place, and always will, but the bulk of the work of attracting customers now happens on a screen. What has changed most is not where the marketing happens, which has been drifting online for a long time, but the tools that local traders are now using to produce it. Those tools have become dramatically more capable and far more affordable, and the effect on small businesses is real.
