By Roger Crow, May 2025“Was there a point when Hollywood came calling, and if so, did you turn down some big roles?” I ask one of the greatest thesps of the past 60-odd years. “Er, no,” says Derek Jacobi, remarkably. He goes on to explain in detail how he didn’t have the looks or whatever quality for those star roles, though at one point, trivia fans, he’d co-starred in Dead Again, a fabulous 1991 movie which knocked Terminator 2 off the top of the US charts.

By Steve Crabtree, May 2025Live at Leeds in the Park has quickly become one of those festivals that’s cool, comfortable, and something you have to return to year after year. It’s relaxed, well run, and there’s something about the space at Temple Newsam that feels just right for a day of music. Wide open, easy to get around, and bursting with the best energy. For me and the wife, we’d been looking forward to this Saturday event for months. But, this year was different.

What’s the title of your latest release, and what does it mean to you? My last release was last summer… called ‘Movin’… it’s about moving on in life despite the heartaches, losses and obstacles… I will soon release new tracks… they will be out in the near future!What was the hardest part about putting this release together, and why? We actually had a deadline but made it on time.. Who produced the release – what did they bring to it?

By Steve CrabtreeWith summer 2025 fast approaching, I – like many – am keen to shift a bit of timber and get back to feeling fitter, stronger and more energised. Working from home regularly has its benefits, and after a recent clear-out of the garage, the idea of building a home fitness space started to take shape. It made sense. With new room to play with, it felt like the perfect opportunity to set up a small but functional training area.

By Steve CrabtreeI’m a big fan of music, good sound, and Edifier speakers. Lately, our garage has had a bit of a mini transformation – from a junk store into a hybrid gym-cum-junk store! And with the new found me getting into home workouts, I knew I needed my favourite motivating sounds to help power me through the sessions. The house is already kitted out with Edifier products, and their Neo Buds are my earphones of choice when I’m out and about.
