The scooter is being produced in Vietnam, with the…

yho33 - cumulative

For the thirty-third edition of YHO it seemed like a good idea to put together a user’s guide to all the earlier issues. After all 33 is a number that does have a certain significance, and many great long-players have been collections of activity-to-date. So, for new readers and loyal subscribers, hopefully this Cumulative edition gives a helpful overview of the subjects that have been covered in YHO.…

Censored - Johnny Boy

Lets have a blast from the recent past. In the latter half of the last decade, Ilkeston's Censored were a live band of some stature. Matt Henshaw (guitar/vocals), Nathan Clarke - later Chris Owen (bass) and Chris Goring (drums) showcased a selection of rhythm and soul that was second to none. They hosted some top notch club nights as well, at Nottingham's Junction 7, which has now sadly…
