Column: Drowned in Scary Monsters - Part Four

In Depth by Kevin Douch

This past weekend I attended The Great Escape festival in Brighton. It's my second year there and nice to see the event expanding, rounded off triumphantly with a chaotic Big Scary Monsters showcase at the grotty Hobgoblin. A packed out venue and one-in-one-out system, naked band members, sing-alongs, giant hornets ruling the beer garden and an after-party on the beach were just some of the things which made it a special day and a great way to round off a messy weekend by the blustery sea.»

In Depth by Kevin Douch

I decided not to write this month's column from Wetherspoons. I didn't want to give the impression that I'm some kind of dirty alcoholic who lives on £1.29 Sailor Jerry rum and value breakfasts. Instead I'm at home, currently cooking some form of chicken curry and only half-thinking about having a drink.»
