The highly anticipated cinematic event Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu has officially landed on the biggest screens possible, marking a massive milestone for the franchise as the very first Star Wars film to be officially "Filmed For IMAX". Directed by long-time IMAX collaborator Jon Favreau, the movie successfully transitions the epic journey of Din Djarin and Grogu from the small screen into a grand, galaxy-spanning spectacle. Editor I had both a sense of curiosity and

There is a distinct kind of magic that happens when a gritty, open-hearted Irish troubadour steps onto a historic French stage. Last Monday night, Dublin singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy brought his highly anticipated The Weight of the Woods tour to L’Olympia in Paris, turning the iconic, red-velvet clad venue into a cathedral of collective catharsis. Standing beneath the famous glowing red facade on the Boulevard des Capucines, a beautifully diverse crowd gathered not just t

Photo by Johan Persson Move over, living world, the Netherworld has officially taken over London, and it is a breathtaking, mind-blowing masterpiece! Last night’s highly anticipated Gala Night of Beetlejuice The Musical at the Prince Edward Theatre didn't just mark its official West End debut; it firmly cemented itself as one of the single greatest, most electrifying musical productions London has ever seen. From the second the curtain ripped open, it was beautifully clear th

If you are looking for a dining experience that perfectly balances the sophisticated charm of West London with a bold, culinary spirit, Erev is an absolute must-visit. Tucked away on Elgin Crescent, just a stone’s throw from the bustle of Portobello Road, this spot feels like a well-kept secret that everyone is dying to share. The atmosphere is intimate and effortlessly cool, featuring moody candle lighting, dark green accents, and rustic tiling. It strikes a rare chord by be

There are gigs where you sit back and spectate, and then there are Glen Hansard gigs, which demand your full, unadulterated spiritual participation. Last Saturday night, the legendary Dublin singer-songwriter and frontman of The Frames brought his seismic live presence to London’s Roundhouse, turning the sweeping, circular brickwork of the former railway shed into a roaring, foot-stomping secular church. Touring on the back of his latest expansive solo works, Hansard delivere

In the landscape of British dining, few things are as certain as the "cheeky Nando’s." Over the last decade, what started as a South African import has evolved into a full-blown cultural pillar. But why, in an era of endless food delivery apps and "viral" pop-ups, does a chicken chain from 1992 still hold the UK in a chokehold? It’s not just about the bird; it’s about the brand. Nando's has successfully bridged the gap between "fast food" and "proper restaurant," creating a m

Photo Provided by Accor Group There is a version of Paris that exists entirely to be looked at, and another that begs you to look through it. On our latest journey to the French capital, we found ourselves suspended beautifully between the two. From a room floating above the rooftops of Montmartre to the soaring, glass-domed sanctuaries of the city’s finest cultural institutions, Paris unfolded not just as a city of romance, but as an interactive masterclass in light, space,

For the first time ever, John le Carré’s legendary masterpiece The Spy Who Came In From The Cold has been brilliantly reimagined for the stage, and its arrival at the stunning, historic Richmond Theatre is nothing short of a triumph. Bringing the undisputed king of modern espionage to live theater is no small feat, but this gripping adaptation manages to perfectly capture the suffocating paranoia, shifting loyalties, and profound moral compromises of Cold War-era Berlin. At t

It’s an unforgettable evening comprised of hard rock anthems, raw energy, and decades of fan-favorite hits. THEORY

Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments is a stunning achievement that does the impossible: it revisits the terrifying world of Gilead and manages to expand it without losing any of its chilling intimacy. Picking up fifteen years after Offred’s uncertain fate in The Handmaid’s Tale, this sequel shifts the lens to provide a panoramic view of a regime beginning to rot from within. Rather than a singular perspective, Atwood weaves together three distinct voices that offer a gripping lo

Behind Late Transmissions are David Balfe and David Hughes – two friends who last played together in the Merseyside post-punk scene. Balfe, playing with Big In Japan and The Teardrop Explodes, went on to be a producer, publisher and founder of both Zoo Records and Food Records, signing Blur and Echo & The Bunnymen among many others. On 1st May 2026 the two friends released their brand new album, THE HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS which sees them team up with Eve Quartermain, and

Harry Styles floated back onto the music scene in March with his newest album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. The album was an immediate success (unsurprising given his dedicated fanbase), and the “Sign of The Times” singer has now begun rolling out music videos to accompany the album and spark excitement for his imminent tour. His Together, Together tour will have 67 stops, including a controversial 30 shows in New York’s Madison Square Garden. With a brand-new sound

Europe’s LGBTQ+ Capital for 2026 List the queerest cities in Europe and a number of ‘usual suspects’ will inevitably appear towards the top of the list – London, Berlin, Amsterdam. But in 2026, the flag of most LGBTQ+ friendly city in Europe should really be planted right in the centre of the continent. Vienna is a city with a rich queer history and, appropriate for a city famous for its operatic flair, will be taking centre stage, as both the host of the 2026 Eurovision So

Very few travel stories centre around Monday morning encounters. It’s not even my favourite memory of Nashville but it remains the most memorable. After a weekend of taking on Broadway – Nashville’s legendary street of live music bars – I stumbled out at 10am looking for a coffee and preferably a quiet corner to recover. I expected all the bars to be shuttered. Instead, every door was open, every stage alive, and every bar seemed to contain a guitarist who could outplay mos

“Nothing Could Be Finer Than To Be in Carolina In The Morning” Yes, there’s no Times Square bravado, no Californian gloss, no Floridian theme-park spectacle. But having been visiting for the past twelve years, I would agree entirely with Gus Kahn’s words from a century ago. North Carolina doesn’t need any of this to be the most complete, most authentic and, for my 10 cents’ worth, one of the most compelling states in the whole US. It’s also a place in recovery. If you’ve r

Store in Carnaby Street, London In a world of "fast fashion" and fleeting trends, Aubin & Wills stands as a bastion of British authenticity. Founded in 2008 as the sophisticated, more discerning older sibling to Jack Wills, the brand quickly carved out a niche for those who value heritage over hype. After a brief hiatus, Aubin made a triumphant return in 2021 with a crystal-clear mission: "Better is Greater Than More." Now a Certified B Corp, Aubin creates "Modern British Cla
