Sadly the Northern Lights Festival has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales.
We wish the organisers well for future events.

This week we've renewed our domain name for yet another year. Lets hope we put up enough reading material to make it all worthwhile. Enjoy your week folks, wherever it leads you...
Its a mellow yet fun week with the FnS ghettoblaster set at a sensible volume for a change...
