With thanks to Kylie Roux. Following on from a 30 date UK tour in the winter of 2010, Steven Severin returns to give UK audiences a rare opportunity to hear his new score for VAMPYR. This is the third in Severin’s ongoing film accompaniment series – Music For Silents. It’s is an alternative take on the cinematic vampire, creating an intense, nightmarish atmosphere that haunts the mind long after the lights go up. Bassist and founder member of Siouxsie & The Banshees, Steven Severin, all too often erroneously called Steve is fulfilling a long held creative ambition: “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do from way back.

By Stephen Davy-Osborne, with thanks to David Forbes.
An Aberdeen charity is seeking all of your old aluminium cans to help them raise enough money to buy a much needed mini bus.
Future Choices Aberdeen was set up following the closure of the Choices Day Centre, which left a number of members of the community with nowhere to socialise in a safe and friendly environment.
The charity offers disabled people and their carers in Aberdeen opportunities to get involved in the community through a number of voluntary projects within the city.

With thanks to Dave Watt. There have been twenty-three acknowledged serious nuclear accidents to befall the worlds U.S. and Soviet nuclear forces. There have been 16 crashes involving British nuclear submarines since 1998. Despite this there appears to be a certain amount of complacency as regards the nuclear submarine base at Holy Loch on the Clyde. The ex-Armed Forces Minister Dr John Reid said in letters to MPs: “It is planned that potassium iodate tablets would be distributed before any release of radioactive material had occurred at a time determined by monitoring the condition of the reactor”. “We will always get advanced warning if something was to go wrong” – Andy Moore MoD “There has never been an accident involving [...]
