At this juncture, The Gov was beyond full of rock’n’roll enthusiasts and vision of the stage had become exceedingly difficult. An immeasurable tension continued to build as the countdown for the globally adored trailblazing four-piece known as Shihad seemed to cause time to stand still. When it approached breaking point, the lights dimmed and the cheers emanated to a deafening level.

If The Gloom In The Corner transported The Gov to another universe – Japan’s Hanabie. Warped the audience into another dimension. In the most astonishing way possible, Yukina (vocals), Matsuri (guitar), Hettsu (bass) and Chika (drums) are from a different and extraordinary existence. It was undeniably an honour to have them bestow their brilliance on the capacity crowd.

Has she suddenly started quietly muttering in the Aldi queue about the “Jewish Space Lasers” she’s heard are setting wildfires around the world to make sure everyone believes in climate change? When was the moment the world began to believe anything?

I present a brief story of food love and loss. One that begins and ends with the greatest cucumbers I’ve ever eaten. Mum gave the first one to me, fresh from her small greenhouse. Small, stubby, military green. Taken home, tasted, followed by a wide-eyed pause as I thought: “OK, how did she do this?”Within a month, I have a greenhouse of my own. I had to ensure I too could grow my own highly superior cucumbers. The cucumber had tasted like no other cucumber I’d known. It tasted 100% cucumber.
