The day the tree came tumbling down
News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 13/05/2018
» Last week I suffered the distressing experience of watching the biggest tree in my garden be chopped down to a stump. The tree had been there for a decade, growing rapidly every year, and it felt almost like losing a favourite pet. I should explain that although I love trees, this arboreal assault was given my reluctant approval as the tree had grown to a such a height that if it came down in a storm it would demolish half of the house. All the same, I felt very uncomfortable watching it being hacked away branch by branch.

Top 20 singles of 2017
B Magazine, Published on 31/12/2017
» Congratulations! You've made it to through 2017, a rather challenging year characterised by a series of unfortunate events from the rise of Alt-Right and the Weinstein effect to devastating hurricanes and starving polar bears. We've also lost a handful of musicians along the way -- Soundgarden's Chris Cornell, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and Tom Petty, to name but a few. Thankfully, those who are still alive and kicking have served up some of the most memorable tunes we've had the pleasure of hearing this year. Handpicked from our Playlists over the last 12 months, here are the top 20 singles that have soundtracked and defined the year that was. This week we're picking up where we left off last week with the remaining tracks. And before we close up the shop, let's once again pat ourselves on the back, for 2017 was no child's play by any standards. May you have strength and courage to wade through Trump's tweets and Prayut's tantrums in the coming year.
