<content:encoded><![CDATA[Salford based experimental collective, Patchwork Rattlebag are set to release ‘Hook, Line and Riser’, the first single from their forthcoming album ‘Fragments 1’.
Frequently incorporating other artforms, the group constructs music with a strong vocal presence, featuring instruments, synthesisers, field recordings and beats. Consisting of three core members who value collaboration and curiosity, Patchwork Rattlebag traverse the spaces between the visual, audible, invisible and ineffable.
‘Hook, Line and Riser’ features glitchy, beat-driven electronica and overlapping, ethereal, and sometimes disorienting vocals to explore the question: ‘What does it mean to be the same but altered?’.
The track is made up of part/whole relationships and the collaboration of disparate parts. Expressed through uncompromising beats, ruthless basslines, relentless distorted synths, and concordant, Sardinian-influenced overtone voices, ‘Hook, Line and Riser’ presents fragmented images of subjective and social formation. The elements used to create the track form an unlikely totality, encapsulated in the phrase Sardinian singers use to describe an illusory voice created by the collective overtones of several vocalists: “la voce degli angeli”.
The accompanying music video for the track brings these ideas to life through data moshed environments featuring disembodied eyes, hands, and mouths, as well as medical imagery: individuals as parts of a whole.
‘Hook, Line & Riser’ is released on 3rd October 2025.
Debut Patchwork Rattlebag album ‘Fragments 1’ is set for release on 21st Nov via YMTC.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[“Delivering the truth: Why NHS maternity care is broken and how we can fix it together” the new book from Dr Lorin Lakasing will be published on 21st October 2025.
The book lifts the lid on NHS maternity care revealing its broken core and what needs to change.
For more than two decades, the NHS maternity service has been the focus of repeated scandals. We’ve all heard about mothers and babies who are suffering, the staff who are at breaking point, and the huge disparities in standards of care. Time and time again, independent investigations have exposed failures, made recommendations and promised change. Yet things don’t improve. Have you ever thought there’s more to it all than meets the eye? Well, you’d be right.
Dr Lorin Lakasing is an NHS consultant in obstetrics and fetal medicine. She draws on her 30 years of clinical experience in maternity care to give an insider’s view of the current worrying situation and its development, and suggests how we might move towards the safe, effective NHS maternity service that everyone deserves.
“Delivering the truth: Why NHS maternity care is broken and how we can fix it together” is about the stories behind the headlines. In this powerful, eye-opening account, Dr Lakasing reveals the reasons why major stakeholders in this vital service have inadvertently been encouraged to pursue different agendas, and how that has made effective, collaborative working towards optimal clinical outcomes almost impossible.
A safe and effective NHS maternity service is in everyone’s best interests. But for this to happen, real change is needed now. This book is an informed, fresh and hopeful perspective on how we can make maternity care better for all.
Reading this book will give you a deeper understanding of the systemic issues driving repeated failures in NHS maternity care. You will gain an insight into how conflicting agendas among stakeholders have obstructed lasting, meaningful progress. Plus, you’ll have a novel appreciation of the realities faced by staff, mothers and babies within the service. And, perhaps most importantly, you will have a hopeful, informed perspective on what needs to change and how improvement really is possible.
Contents 
Chapter 1 – The state of NHS maternity care 
Chapter 2 – Background to the modern-day service 
Chapter 3 – Service providers – caregiving on the frontline 
Chapter 4 – Service organisers – management in maternity care 
Chapter 5 – Maternity care safety strategies – why do they fail? 
Chapter 6 – Maternity service users – what do they want? 
Chapter 7 – When things go wrong: representation and the battle for improvement 
Chapter 8 – The consequences of a broken maternity service 
Chapter 9 – Hitting the reset button 
Chapter 10 – What are the lessons from maternity?
“Delivering the truth: Why NHS maternity care is broken and how we can fix it together” is published on 21st October 2025 and will be available from all good bookshops, and on Amazon.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[20-year-old North Carolina-based artist glaive has confirmed a set of global tour dates in support of his brand new, critically acclaimed album, Y’all—listen/share here.
The extensive tour kicks off January 2026, and will see stops at New York’s Webster Hall, Los Angeles’ The Fonda Theatre, Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club, and San Francisco’s August Hall, as well as international dates in Toronto, Australia, the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands— find full routing below, tickets are available now here. 
Y’all released in September 2025 to acclaim from NPR Music, Clash, The Line of Best Fit, Stereogum, Ones To Watch and more. Northern Transmissions lauds, “The unpredictability that graces Y’all makes it an undeniably memorable experience; the record just never stops moving. 8.7/10.”
After leading the charge of a scene which changed the DNA of pop music as we know it at just 16-years-old, glaive has evolved to be fully in command of a matured sound which continues to disrupt and challenge pop’s parameters. Y’all is the story of a teenager pulled up from his roots, finally returning to his hometown in North Carolina at 20, a radically changed person in an unchanged place.
glaive shares, “I realized that it wasn’t the place that I had the problem with, it was myself. I wanted more, and the more I got the less I felt I had. With this move came a lot of time to think: about myself, about others, about everything. I sort of came to the conclusion that perhaps the classic musician “lifestyle” wasn’t for me. I didn’t derive enjoyment from the “lifestyle” that making music can offer. It sounds quite silly but I was raised here and maybe I’ll die here.”
“As I got older, I realized my flaws and the flaws of the ones I love. This album is called Y’ALL because at its inception, I wanted it to be less about me – and somewhere in that process, I think it became the most “me” album I’ve ever made.”
Produced by John Cunningham (Lil Nas X, Miley Cyrus), Ralph Castelli (Dora Jar, The Neighbourhood) and longtime collaborator Jeff Hazin (Kali Uchis, renforshort), the intensity of glaive’s stage presence translates to his new music like never before. Y’all follows a pair of releases from glaive last year: his sophomore album, May It Never Falter, released independently in October, was named as one of the best of 2024 by Vogue Magazine and his latest EP, a bit of a mad one, saw praise from NPR Music, V Magazine and more.
From his beginnings in Hendersonville, North Carolina (population 15k), to opening for The Kid LAROI on The First Time tour last year, glaive has become a name synonymous with a scene that redefines pop, not by distancing itself from tradition but by forging a new, innovative style. His previous works, including cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven, and then i’ll be happy, have all cemented him as a standout artist, lauded by the likes of The New York Times, Vulture, GQ and The FADER.
His second studio album released in late 2024, May It Never Falter, was hailed as a genre-defying body of work that marked the beginning of an independent chapter in his artistry. The album served as a coming-of-age narrative set against the backdrop of adolescence and self-discovery. May It Never Falter was recorded in the remote landscapes of Iceland and Wales, continuing the Sigur Rós-inspired approach to isolated, immersive recording environments that began with his debut album, i care so much i don’t care at all (2023). The album was supported by an extensive North American and European tour in spring of 2025.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[They’ve played 1000+ shows across 40 countries, performed in ‘RocknRolla’ and ‘The OC’, and soundtracked a Kate Moss campaign for Rimmel, but there’s plenty more to come in the story of The Subways. Today the trio celebrate everything they have achieved and look ahead to what comes next as they release the new compilation ‘When I’m With You’.
Structured like a setlist, ‘When I’m With You’ hits with maximal ferocity from the outset as the call-and-response garage-rock thrills of early favourite ‘Oh Yeah’ bound into the bouncy big riffs of 2023’s ‘Black Wax’. What follows is a breathless adventure from the band’s biggest, crowdpleasing moments from the pop-punk blast of ‘Taking All The Blame’ into the sun-kissed melodic grunge of ‘Kalifornia’ through to ‘I Want To Hear What You’ve Got To Say’ from their debut album, and the darker-hued alt-rock fire of ‘You Kill My Cool’. It ends – where else? – with the full-throttle loud/quiet/loud dynamics of ‘Rock & Roll Queen’.
Producers across the album include Butch Vig (Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’), Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur) and Ian Broudie (The Lightning Seeds).
Billy Lunn says, “‘When I’m With You’ represents 20 years of recorded music we’ve put out into the world – and indeed 20 years of touring the world. We adore playing live and connecting with our fans that way, so we thought it appropriate to frame this collection as if it were a set list. All the studio recordings of our live favourites contained in one album. We’re so excited to be sharing it with everybody. And we’re even more excited about what the next 20 years may hold!”
Charlotte Cooper adds, “We wanted to celebrate the milestone of 20 years of the band for ourselves, but also our very loyal fan base. We have had some incredible times and adventures on the road, playing shows all over the world, which is why we used the inspiration of a set list to choose the track listing. We hope you love reminiscing with us as you listen to the songs you know and also enjoy the 2 new tracks, which show where we’re going next. We very much hope this marks the midpoint of our career – we are far from done. We can’t wait to have a proper party on tour!”
‘When I’m With You’ also introduces a second brand new song ‘Passenger’s Side’, which joins the recently released ‘I Need To Feel You Closer’. ‘Passenger’s Side’ is a song that captures both angles of The Subways’ evolution. On one hand, it’s powered by the runaway enthusiasm and guitar-driven melodics that they’ve owned since the very beginning. But lyrically it’s a song that can only come from lived experience, as it addresses the anxieties and uncertainties that come when you realise a relationship has hit the end of the road.
Billy explains, “Following a breakup, the fragmented memories of the simple things are the ones that tend to emerge and repeat in your mind as you’re reeling. Conversations about nothing in particular, the touch of a hand, a song playing in the background. Amidst the collapse of all the promises made, those were the moments that stuck with me, and I had to write about them in a song.”
Physical formats of ‘When I’m With You’ are available HERE, including white-and-black marble double-vinyl, transparent red double-vinyl and CD. The band’s official store offers a signed insert with all album bundles.
The Subways celebrate the release of ‘When I’m With You’ by heading out on an intimate record store tour today, with limited album / ticket bundles available HERE. Their full ‘The Subways For Eternity’ tour then follows at the end of the month with extensive runs in the UK and Germany alongside shows in another eight countries.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Saddle up for this year’s most unexpected, and most dazzling, festive trend: Christmas Cowboy. Inspired by the country-chic energy of Taylor Swift and cowboy queen, Beyonce, this playful theme is taking over Christmas décor in 2025, blending rhinestone sparkle with Western flair.
The Range is leading the charge, meeting soaring consumer demand with a new collection of Christmas Cowboy products. 
Their standout bestseller this week, the Cowboy Boot Glitter Spinner (£19.99), has already captured shoppers’ hearts, as it went viral on TikTok. Shaped like a cowboy boot, it features Santa on horseback surrounded by swirling glitter that shimmers under soft LED lights.
The collection also includes the Tassel Cowboy Hat Christmas Tree Decoration, Christmas Cowboy Boot Mug, Christmas Western Gift Wrap, and the Disco Cowboy Boot Christmas Tree Decoration, all designed to bring a touch of Nashville glamour and holiday sparkle into homes across the UK.
With consumers embracing the “yeehaw meets yuletide” aesthetic, The Range’s Christmas Cowboy collection proves that a little country charm is the perfect way to deck the halls this season.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[With just one month to go, anticipation is building as HYPER JAPAN, the UK’s biggest celebration of Japanese culture, makes its long-awaited Northern debut from 14–16 November 2025 at Manchester Central Convention Complex. 
Already a fan-favourite in London since 2010, HYPER JAPAN’s first-ever Manchester event promises a packed weekend of authentic food and drink, live performances, anime attractions, shopping, workshops, and interactive experiences for fans of all ages. 
At HYPER JAPAN Manchester, you can immerse yourself in Japanese culture, and its experience varies from pop culture, creativity and tradition. Pop culture fans can step into a world of creativity and fandom. Bandai Namco is bringing you a celebration of model building culture with immersive Gunpla workshops and a dozen Event Exclusive Model Kits. A giant Gundam statue will also be at their booth. At HYPER JAPAN Shop, there will be limited-edition anime items, authentic figures directly imported from Japan, and the popular gachapon capsule toys. Visitors can also explore the history of iconic anime series and get exclusive merchandise at the Evangelion 30th Anniversary Exhibition Booth. An eye-catching itasha (a car decorated with anime-inspired designs) will also be displayed at the main entrance, offering visitors a photogenic spot to capture memorable moments.
Explore a vibrant marketplace filled with unique finds and cultural experiences. For HYPER MARKET, more than 180 companies and independent artists are confirmed to offer you a wide range of unique, Japanese-inspired creations and products. You can find a special treat for yourself or a thoughtful gift for the festive season. There will also be a free workshop experiencing Go, the Japanese traditional board game (famous worldwide through the manga and anime Hikaru no Go!) 
FOOD AND DRINK 
At the venue, you can enjoy freshly made onigiri (rice balls), ramen, as well as delicious street food like yakitori and takoyaki cooked right before your eyes. And of course, don’t miss out on classic Japanese sweets such as mochi and matcha desserts — perfect with Japanese craft coffee. 
SAKE EXPERIENCE
SAKE EXPERIENCE, the popular sake-tasting attraction for HYPER JAPAN, comes to Manchester. This hands-on tasting event lets you explore a variety of sake – from sparkling sake to award-winning junmai – as well as Japanese liqueurs such as umeshu and yuzu, and meet the brewers and sake experts. You can taste, learn, vote for your favourites, and purchase your favourite drinks to take home. £20 (add-on to HYPER JAPAN admission). https://hyperjapan.co.uk/exhibitor/sake-experience-2025/.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Johnny Marr has announced his biggest-ever headline solo show to date with a special outdoor performance at Manchester’s iconic amphitheatre, Castlefield Bowl, for Thursday 9th July 2026. The show will also feature very special guests Everything Everything. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 17th October, HERE.
The news confirms Johnny Marr’s first UK live show announcement for 2026, with the special homecoming performance set to land amongst a major year of exciting new activity.
Today’s announcement closely follows the release of Look Out Live! The new 22-track live album recorded at Johnny’s sold-out headline show at London’s Hammersmith Apollo in 2024. High energy, atmospheric intensity, electro-soul anthems and all-in singalong moments, each led by Johnny’s vocal carrying the same sharp clarity and emotional weight as his signature guitar playing and songwriting. The album has been described by Record Collector Magazine as “a hero’s welcome”, Classic Pop Magazine praised “so much vitality”, Classic Rock Magazine said, “this live album confirms how solidly Johnny has established his own post-Smiths identity”, whilst MOJO added, “Marr’s four solo albums since 2013 have been studded with pearls”.
Johnny Marr’s live show landed in North America in September with major performances at Shaky Knees Festival, Atlanta, GA, CBGB FEST, Brooklyn, NY, and headline shows across the country. The tour continues into Europe through October and November, with full dates listed at www.johnnymarr.com.
Johnny recently recorded four new songs with Gorillaz for their upcoming album The Mountain, and teamed with Franz Ferdinand to record their latest single ‘Build It Up’, before a surprise reunion with The The bandmate Matt Johnson at the Forever Now Festival – also Johnny’s own exclusive UK summer live performance for 2025.
Johnny Marr’s 2026 Castlefield Bowl show will include a performance by special guests Everything Everything. The Manchester band bring dystopian ‘Black Mirror’-style concepts to songs which thrillingly find the sweet spot between esoteric experimentation and art-pop accessibility. They have earned critical acclaim and a devoted following, leading to five Ivor Novello and two Mercury Prize nominations, a run of six consecutive Top 10 albums, and major headline shows including London’s Alexandra Palace
. 
Tickets for Johnny Marr live at Castlefield Bowl, Manchester on Thursday 9th July 2026 are on sale from Friday 17th October
