	With pretty much most people who would have been interested in an event like this decamped to Leeds Festival, it could have been deemed a major faux pas on the part of the organisers of the first Concrete Jam, to hold the event on this particular weekend. Concrete Jam was a one day festival of music and sport incorporating competitions for both inline and Read more...

Going Down - G8 2005 Demonstration in Edinburgh by Mike Rose

Going Down - Make Poverty History March In Edinburgh By Sarah Golightley

And then trying to let them in Read more...

Going Down - Overnight Investigation of the Paranormal with The Spiritual Renaissance Group By Blair Ashworth Photos by Mo
	Insomnia must be a real advantage when you're investigating the paranormal. At least, it would have been if the night at Holmpton had passed slowly - but for me, and for Mo, it was an amazing and unforgettable experience, and I for one intend repeating it as soon as the opportunity next arises. So, there we were, the car drawing up to the guardhouse of the Holmpton bunker near Withernsea. Read more...
