By Dr Robin Andrews, TLE Science Editor Everyone’s heard of climate change, but have you ever actually heard climate change? Well thanks to an intrepid musician, now you can. What do you get when you cross a cellist with some scientific know-how? A symphony of the latitudes, of time and space, and of rising global temperatures, as it turns out. I have often thought that there are two distinct stages to humanity’s evolution. There’s the biological kind espoused so wonderfully...
By Julia Prigmore (@JuliaPrigmore) 19.5.2015. Hard Rock Cafe, London The Back Room of London’s Hard Rock Café seems an appropriate setting for the preview of Ben Montague’s new album ‘Back to Paradise’. Set for release next month, the album is the Kentish musician’s fourth, and tonight provides an ideal opportunity to showcase his new material and unearth some previous recordings. The night kicked off earlier than expected. The venue for Montague’s set was already bursting at the seams by the...
By James Gray Jersey has a reputation as an island harbouring only those wishing to keep HRMC at arms length. The odd Ferrari isn’t uncommon but this beautiful island has so much more to offer for all travellers. We hoped our method of transport was going to be far more relaxed than the usual airport experience often faced when travelling with a child. Today we wouldn’t need Sherpa like qualities to get from the car to the departure gate; the...
By Jack Peat, TLE Editor The greatest tragedy of Paul Gascoigne's life is how few people will remember him for what he was; a truly phenomenal footballer. A mainstay of tabloid newspapers, the England legend has endured an unprecedented fall from grace since the glory days of his football career. The public's insatiable appetite for hero to villain stories has kept his tragic demise in the public eye, but even by the standards of the heartless redtops, his life has...
By Declan Roberts (@DeclanMR) After a relatively short time in the spotlight The Vaccines have covered a number of indie genre conventions. They straddled garage with ‘Wreckin' Bar’ and ‘Norgaard’, juggled ballads like ‘Post Break-Up Sex’ and the heartfelt love song ‘Melody Calling’. This is a dynamic band. With this said and done, it's hard to know what to expect from English Graffiti, especially after the band openly stated that they want the album to be “something that sounds amazing next year and then...

By James Healy-Pratt The Germanwings Airbus disaster in the Swiss Alps is a tragedy no family should have to go through. The immediate cause of the disaster seems to be intentional pilot conduct but on a wider level, it highlights a failure of joined-up thinking about air safety. The cold hard truth is that the disaster was preventable. Commercial airliners were used as human-guided missiles in the September 11 2001 attacks in the US. Decades earlier, airline hijackings were also...
By Mark Mason, Chairman of Mubaloo Group Much has been written about Apple Watch. Rather than going into whether this is a good device or not, let’s first start with why anyone would need notifications on their wrist. If, like me, the majority of your day is spent in meetings or using your phone or tablet as your primary computing device, you’ll know how important it is to manage your time efficiently.
