Coven is a mixed media collaboration between Katie Craven and Adam Scovell. The exhibition opens on Friday the 24th of October at 24 Kitchen Street and explores themes of the occult, the supernatural, and the esoteric by placing them in the context of the natural landscape.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Saturday Supplement, An Interview With Niamh Jones.
With a debut E.P. due out, a gig at Leaf to look forward to and college work to do, perhaps the last thing that stunning singer and guitar player needed to was to sit down and talk about music at F.A.C.T.

It is in every fabric of society and seems so deeply engrained that even if a nation or family votes in a majority in favour of something, the arguments it has caused are going to live long in the memory.
The First Flourish Of Middle Age.
Middle Age I have found to be a painful reminder
of melancholy memory. I tell myself that I am not old,
nor scared of what is to come, the hurt of loss, the fragility of kindness,
that I have these greying bags under my blue eyes not because I am tired,

There is a tightening feel in the back of the throat. The stomach, once calm in the open air of the London streets has started to behave like a badly serviced washing machine and the dank, dirty, dusty air is causing the lungs and pores to feel as though scrubbing for a month will not get the skin clean as it clings and scrapes away at any vestige left of reason like an urban fox clawing at the remains of a deep fried chicken and chips strewn on the pavements after one last beer was had.
