By Caspar Lampkin.

The Big Lunch began life as a well watered seed a few years ago in the Eden Project, Cornwall with the core idea of bringing communities together. The point being that the friendships that you can make in just one fun get-together will last for the rest of the year.

The students at Aberdeen University are hosting Aberdeen’s contribution to this now national event supported by the ‘Friends of Union Terrace Gardens’  and with the great help and use of Cafe 52 on the Green. Continue reading »

Pete and Brian of Team Fudge.

So what has inspired a student and a gig promoter to take part in such an exciting, yet dangerous challenge? Aberdeen Voice’s Ross Cunningham met Brian, intrigued to find out more.

Fiona Soe Paing is a half-Scottish, half-Burmese composer, producer and vocalist based in Aberdeenshire.
