Silver Social
London’s Ministry of Sound played host to a new kind of party at the end of March - the Silver Social, funded by Southwalk council as the culmination of a week’s festival to celebrate the songs, past times and memories of the generation that kicked it all off.

GIN IS MY TONIC
So the spirit on seemingly everyone’s lips right now is gin, and within that venerable old lady of liquor there is one brand that is definitely one to watch.

But by January we’re back to chain smoking, munching a takeaway and vowing we’ll go for that run tomorrow.

NIGHT TENNIS
Sony Ericsson are behind a new event that brings the alien worlds of tennis and clubbing together under one roof. The result is Night Tennis - probably the most notable intersection of music and tennis since our beloved Cliff Richard sang Singing in the Rain at Wimbledon 96.
