The continual praise we lay at the feet of some artists is always a pleasure, it is a reminder that constant practise and unbound talent go hand in hand, that it is an even split between dedication and release of emotional endurance, and in Maddison Breen’s latest single Odesa, the beating heart of fearlessness and objectivity in truth is unrepentantly gorgeous.

Ms. Rubenhold’s dedication and calm pursuit of restoring justice to a victim’s name, of insisting with righteous vigour that to which had been stolen by the actions of a murderer, is in itself one of admiration that the reader cannot deny; add to that the strength of character it takes to almost singlehanded tackle what can be seen as a male myopic viewpoint in the characterisation of history’s most foul and heinous crimes is one that deserves every ounce of recognition that the follower of history can muster.

A person will kill for a whole host of reasons, they will do it for love, for revenge, for money, and anger, the motives are often observed to be simple, straightforward, and often they are clouded by detail and unfathomable causes; but none perhaps are as perplexing as those which are committed in the name of ownership in an object, especially in art, for who would kill to have possession of an item that they would never be able to show another human being.

For what seems like a lifetime, the opening two episodes of a series of Doctor Who have been strong, well imagined, and framed with the type of intrigue and long vision scheming that made the long running science fiction serial a much-loved institution in its time.

Long After The Fire turns to embers, we can still resurrect the feeling and the emotions felt as the shadows thrown against walls and our souls make us feel the comfort of warm memories, of connecting us to a past where myths and magic were concocted and spoken of in reverential tones, and where those that whispered of images and spirits could be seen as the perceptive wise people of our times.

There is no doubt that Blues as an artform needed to reinvent itself in the 21st Century as it found itself on the point of collapse, of suffering self-destruction to its lack of ability to coax and lure new fans to its ailing body. There is assurance that Blues was dying, and even a resurrection of the genre would only give it a limited time scale of survival as decent and legends remained, but nobody was willing to take their place in the heated arena.

There can be little doubt that J.B. Priestley’s An Inspector Calls is one of the most enduring, important, and defining plays of the 20th Century. Conceived and written at a time when the fire that consumed the world and destroyed what little pretence that we projected to having a society being for the benefit of all, and was shakily losing ground to the horrors unearthed on foreign fields; and yet one that might not have seen the light of day in post war Britain because of Winston Churchill’s umbrage and offence to the writer’s socialist beliefs.

If you’re part of the in-crowd then you’ve wasted the opportunity life affords you to be a cynical individual, to feel the desire of the recklessly abandoned and the fiercely misunderstood; for nothing feels quite so good as understanding that refusing to play the games of those who only want to be there for the chance to show their face in the limelight is arguably the only church you are require to worship in.

It was not until Channel 4 had the sense of duty that had been denied Sidney Bernstein, Alfred Hitchcock, Richard Crossman, and a whole platoon of film makers that made their way to various concentration camps as liberation from the Nazi terror that had engulfed Europe, then perhaps only a select few would have ever been privy to the immense documentary collaboration that became known at the time as German Concentration Camps Factual Survey , but which perhaps had even greater impact when released in the chilling 2015 release as Night Will Fall.

The great survivor of the Psychedelic Rock era, one of the true godfathers of guitar’s sweet embrace as a means of expression and conveyer of emotions, Robin Trower’s continual presence at the heart of the music is to be admired and celebrated, and the fact that he prodigiously focuses his attention on giving his audience his all is nothing short of fantastic, and one in which his new album, Come And Find Me, adds yet again a figure of respectable insight to the application of the art he is credited rightly as being one of the men responsibility for its accessibility.
