Sapporo Teppanyaki Restaurant; Duke Street
The rule of Sapporo Teppanyaki is it’s all about spectacle. It’s about those places we saw on American TV in the mid to late 90’s where things were cooked in the middle of your table, and it took us staunch Brits a while to catch up. Me and the boyfriend took full advantage of one of the menu’s special offers by going on a Monday. This is the day when Sapporo’s offers customers a steak…

Dan Croll – Sweet Disarray; Album Review
It’s hard to see how things could be going better for LIPA’s own Dan Croll at the moment. With a coveted GIT nomination, Radio 1 airplay and support slots with the likes of Bastille and London Grammar, there’s a sense that Sweet Disarray, his debut album, might just be the catalyst for super-stardom.

She Drew The Gun EP; Review
“Why is the measure of love… loss?”- I can think of no better words to begin this particular review with than those once written by Jeanette Winterson.
