*** Special Features ***

Over the years we've published a number of Special Features that haven't strictly fallen within any of the other categories on the site but have none the less been worthy additions.  

In future all Special Feature items will have their links published here to ensure no matter when you visit the site, you will have free and open access to these articles.

Keep checking back as you never know when another new Special Feature will appear!

August 2007 - Sign - Naked Tour Diary 2007

Sometimes you get made an offer you simply cannot refuse.  That's what happened to us when James Riot from Riot Promotions suggested we join the infamous (and now legendary!) wild young things of rock Sign on their UK tour.  Little did we know at the time that with this particular band, clothes are classed as an optional extra! Oo-er missus!
