Ridley Scott originally had to defend his choice of leading man in the 1982 sci-fi hit Blade Runner, the celebrated director revealed this week. “Harrison Ford was not a star yet,” Scott said in a video interview with the magazine GQ.

In the first of a series of interviews from The Long Road festival, Paul Sammon chatted to Joshua Ray Walker:SSC: What did you think to The Front Porch? JRW: It was great. That was my first set in the UK, ever. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the crowd. It was a good turn out and then I was told it was a fairly large number for a 2pm set.

Paul Sammon writes: I recently caught up with Tom Franklin, lead singer of up-and-comers Wood Burnt Red. Pinning him down on his busy schedule was no mean feat, but we found time to talk about what has been and what is yet to come for the predominantly Midlands-based Southern Rock band, before they take to the stage at Buckle & Boots this weekend. Plus there’s the not-so-small matter of a new single dropping this Friday…and the launch of their debut EP. SSC: Hey Tom. Thanks for taking the time.
