Jack and Esmae Pimm created a life painted in black and white, and their influence on the game still carries on today.

Matthew Perry, the star from the American sit-com Friends, died in his hot tubs apparently following a large dose of the drug ketamine. It made me wonder how easy it was for stars to get the drug. With the recent arrests it appears that it is easy, provided you know the right (or wrong) doctors. Is ...

When the smoking ban in pubs was announced in 2007 one man commented, “I have a serious chest problem. It will only get worse if I’m forced to go outside in the rain to smoke”. I don’t think he understood irony. Now the Government have proposed a ban on smoking in pub gardens...

Where were you the first time you heard "Rocky Mountain High"? Chances are, you weren't in Colorado, and that's the problem: you eventually moved here, because you wanted to see starlight softer than a lullaby.

Bernstein’s Three Dance Episodes from On The Town start a riotous orchestral celebration that continues with Joe Chindamo’s new work, Ligeia. Peter Moore takes on a no-holds-barred virtuoso showcase of all the trombone’s sonorities, from its melodic tenderness to its capacity to bend, growl and swing as if on-stage at Ronnie Scott’s or Birdland – it's the party you won’t want to miss! We also plunge into the romantic melodies and vivid orchestral colours of Rachmaninoff’s symphonies this Season, starting with the darkly fiery Symphony No. 1.
