I admit that I feel like a bit of a thief, what with stealing the following from the Amazing Radio blog! But it’s pretty cool news, and hopefully will get more people listening to DAB digital radio.

Because, if the world awakes To what women have always known Then the patriarchal balance is offset Now, the foundations start to groan Oh I have lashed out, hit back, Swung my brain to prove the fact, [...]

They started with a shop in Stratford….and although that’s gone now they now have their online shop (see hyperlink) and now have a shop in the Custard Factory. Although an undeniably cool space, and a very cool shop design [...]
