Strange Fascination: Inside The Cult of The Horrors
May 2, 2014 · At once bored, absorbed, teasing and tortured, he's a man who mumbles constantly, blinks manically and scrutinises questions like a landlord inspects carpets. Throughout the day, Faris proves incapable of genuine laughter; instead, he wheezes. People might tell you The Horrors’ singer is a contrary interviewee, but this isn’t strictly true.
BERWYN – WHO AM I - The Skinny
Jul 9, 2024 · The title track is an emphatic opening gambit.

A History of Pride in Scotland - The Skinny
One writer retraces the strides we've made in 23 years of Scottish Pride. On a brisk summer day in June 1995, Scotland’s first Lesbian and Gay Pride march took place in Edinburgh. The organisers expected 500 people to turn up, yet to their happy astonishment 3000 were estimated to have marched along Princes Street, up the Mound, through the ...
Spotlight On... neverfine - The Skinny
Aug 31, 2023 · Jessica Blinkhorn: Like Ash and Craig, the music I've previously written and performed is very different from neverfine. I have a classical piano background and study composition at university, focusing mainly on contemporary classical music. While I mostly listen to folk and traditional music, I'm particularly drawn to artists like Niteworks and Martyn Bennett, who blend folk and electronic ...
