  • The Only Way Is Essex: Last Christmas

  • Tune of the Week 16/12/2011: Patrick Wolf

    PatrickWolf LupercaliaOk, I promise this is the last time that I will make Patrick Wolf my Tune of The Week this year.. I really adore his music and I’m thrilled that I finally came to my senses this year and copped on to his brillance. What’s even more appealing about the chap is that I had the opportunity to interview him and he’s a doll! Love him even more after that!

    Here’s his new single, Together. This will always remind me of the night of the Rainocalypse in October when he played in The Academy. Patrick stood in his shiny gold top in front of a light at the side of the stage so the light bounced around the venue from his top. Awesome!
