- Substrakt have moved to Fazeley Studios! – A very nice space it is too – I popped over to give them a neighbourly hello and found them office warming with Stella Artois, chocolate Eclairs and Sensations crisps.

- PUBLIC ENEMY MAKE FRIENDS IN BIRMINGHAM – Big Cat Kenny hypes up ‘Hip Hop giants’ Public Enemy playing at the Custard Factory on 3rd December. Simon Jones, creative director of Custard Factory Spaces, says: “The Custard Factory has hosted some major international artists in 2008 such as Fleet Foxes and Basement Jaxx, and hosting Public Enemy is a great way to finish another highly successful year. It is also a big step forward for the music scene in Birmingham; venues in the city are starting to regularly host world renowned acts, not just from the UK but from all over the globe.”
