‘Because of the voices there is a lot of randomness going on and sometimes it gets me into real shit.’ AMY JEFFS talks to comedian TERRY ALDERTON. Possibly whilst he’s wearing a strait jacket.
TABATHA LEGGETT and THOMAS WILLS talk to two musicians raring to go for 2011, ALICE GOLD and LIAM BAILEY. You heard of them here first…
JENNA CORDEROY:”The band truly captured the sounds of The Smiths, transporting the audience back to the ’80s.”
DAVID HOLLAND: “Guess what all of the bedders in Cambridge do when they’re not picking your pants up and emptying your bin? They watch Irish folk-rock bands and drink pints.”
HOLLY STEVENSON: ‘Despite being on the soundtrack of almost every American teen drama you can think of, Joel Pott’s song to his prematurely born daughter still retains all of its power.’
Former Cambridge rugby star Joe Ansbro this weekend became the first black player to represent Scotland, in their 21-17 victory over South Africa.
‘There’s been no knickers on this tour, which I’m a little disappointed about; I like to walk on stage with a good bundleful.’ HOLLY STEVENSON steps onto the tour bus of indie underdogs THE MYSTERY JETS.
TABATHA LEGGETT: “We found ourselves in an unfilled venue alongside two drag queens who were dancing as though they were working in Abercrombie and Fitch.”
HOLLY STEVENSON: ‘They felt more like children’s entertainers than bad ass rock ‘n’ rollers.’
JODIE HARSH is coming to Cambridge, but can you handle her? TABATHA LEGGETT talks drag, hair and celebs with the DJ and party girl.
GEORGE JOHNSTON: This production ‘fails to maintain the sufficient degree of pace and intensity that is necessary to the rather gruesome story line’.
‘Colin Hoult’s Carnival of Magical Creatures was a bizarre and hilarious array of characterisations’ but ‘With an adorable smirk that relished in being funny, Dan Antopoloski was arguably even better.’
TOBY PARKER-REES: ‘Basically, if you like things that are intellectually superior but not by that much, like Charlie Brooker, then have a go on Daniel Kitson’
OSCAR HARRY: ‘The midgets all went bananas for some crooning song that repeated the word ‘lying’ a lot. It wasn’t all bad though… ‘
MARC SHALET: ‘Fakespeare was enjoyable but I don’t think King Nigel will be rubbing shoulders with Henry V in next week’s essay’
Our resident Drama Queen’s run through of what is on in Week Four. While students are busy working hard, Cambridge professionals are dominating the boards.
JORDAN BICKERTON: ‘The only real way to understand why legions of…listeners become so fervently devoted to’ the ;abrasive, angry genre’ hardcore punk, ‘is to go to a gig.’
JENNA CORDEROY: ‘You should think yourself lucky if you catch them touring around the country: they are simply pure magic.’
