Fashion Blog: The Beck and Call of Wedding Dress CodesBy June 10, 2013 - 4:27pm Let's face it. We all have that heart-lurching moment when we receive a wedding invitation. The realization hits us at top-gun speed: What on earth am I going to wear? Naturally, you can't slap on some makeup and slip into any old dress in a half-ditched attempt at looking decent. A wedding demands formal wear (more or less without a hair out of place). So you might as well grab at the opportunity of showing your inner fashion goddess. READ MORE |

Music Blog: Electric Guest InterviewBy June 2, 2013 - 10:50am Ahead of their performance at Live at Leeds earlier in May, I chatted to Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton from LA group Electric Guest… Hi guys, can you tell me a little bit about how you formed as a band? Matthew: We met in LA, we moved their 8 years ago, and I met Asa from going over to his house, where there was a recording studio. There were a bunch of different people in bands, directors, artists, living there. I recorded with one of his roommates, and he heard me playing and asked me to play on some of his songs. I kept coming over and doing that, and then eventually when Asa was asked to do an album, I ended up playing on it. READ MORE |

Love Life Blog: Sex SellsBy May 25, 2013 - 1:34pm Stuck in the world of size zero models with 30DD chests, I’m usually faced with some wannabe WAG on the bus stands on my walk into town. When I go into a club, I’m face to face with a shots girl with shorts the size of my knickers. It’s almost inevitable that sex sells. However, up until my trip through the Merrion centre, I had never related this to men. Naïve, I know. READ MORE |

Fashion Blog: Two Weeks at TATLERBy May 25, 2013 - 1:26pm At the end of my first year at university I spent most of my summer going on holiday with friends, flat mates and my family and filling up all of my spare time with a few odd shifts at work. Unlike many of my course mates who were filling their time with work experience and gaining internships, I didn’t really think to do anything but lie in the sun, drink and have fun. Then second year arrived and hearing everyone’s great stories of how they spent their summers chasing news stories and meeting reporters I started to panic. Had I wasted my summer holidays?

Music Blog: Lewis Watson InterviewBy May 16, 2013 - 12:51pm The first weekend of May saw myself and Helen Kelly reporting on the multi-venue Live at Leeds festival, which took place across the city over the bank holiday weekend. One of the artists that I caught up for a chat with was 20 year old Lewis Watson, an up and coming singer-songwriter. I asked him a few questions following his acoustic session for LSRfm. READ MORE |

Music Blog: Fryars InterviewBy May 15, 2013 - 3:30pm Holy Trinity Church is slowly filling up. Couples, groups of friends and even lone individuals linger waiting for Fryars aka Ben Garrett to take to the stage. It’s true you can’t help thinking that it isn’t right that a gig is taking place in a church, but for Fryars’ performance I get the feeling that it’s perfect. At just 22, he’s been hotly tipped as the next Mercury Prize winner with a lot of expectation to live up to. Ben started making music in his bedroom and caught the attention of high profile fans like Kanye and Depeche Mode. Now he’s at Live at Leeds after some time out to show us all what he’s been busy working on and I had the opportunity to find out more from the man himself in the very interesting location of the band’s tour van.... |

Music Blog: MS MR InterviewBy May 6, 2013 - 7:22pm MS MR aka Max and Lizzy are from New York and played one of the best shows I have ever been to at The Faversham as part of Live at Leeds 2013. It was great not just to see them play live after falling in love with their music last summer, when I heard their track ‘Hurricane’, but to also see them willing to stick around after the show to meet their fans. Although they were pushed for time to pack up and move on, Max and Lizzy talked with fans about their music, tour and memories from previous gigs as well as taking photos and signing autographs. Even better I got to interview the band. Firstly, you guys have such a strong stage presence and connect really well with the crowd, how did it feel to get out in front of the Live at Leeds crowd?... |

The World We Live In - Should Leeds University Union Have Liberation Officers?By May 6, 2013 - 6:57pm In another wonderful display of democratic process, Leeds University Union is having a referendum on whether or not we should introduce part time liberation officers. These would be four elected officers who’d work with the Equality and Diversity officer, similar to the society and community reps that we have now, who’d represent traditionally underrepresented and marginalised groups; women, LGBT people, black, Asian and ethnic minority people and disabled people.
