Okay, so the summer's taking a break. Looks like the leaden grey sky is here to stay for a bit. Only a touch of imagination and it could be snow weather! Which is a bit of a pain because we've packed away all of our woollies. It's all cotton… read more…

Here at Glitterditch, we're quite proud of our sensitive hearing. Like bats, we can hear a good thing from a mile off. Like EAT YOUR OWN EARS. It's not just cause all the acts tend to be pretty loud either. All the gigs these guys organise are just stellar.… read more…

It is almost too cold to type. London's snapped and become a spring-winter wonderland of sleet. We are standing, slipping, sitting, sleeping in a shakey snow-dome city.

We don't want you to think we've gone mad, and we know that recommending a book club isn't very 'Glitterditchy'. But Book Slam isn't your average book club. It's got dancing and cocktails too. Which is just the kind of event we know you'll be interested in.… read more…

Yesterday we told you about martian art at the Barbican Centre which starts today. It was all kicking off as part of their 'Do Something Different' weekend. Despite the fact that the slogan sounds like a Jamie Oliver cooking show, we thought we'd have a look at what other… read more…
