Like the true politician he is, Spencer said, “I’ll have more time to spend with the girlfriend.” This was the optimistic side of the decision, which has obviously News saddened him. The shock decision was supposedly based on discontent from within Storm FM’s Executive, but as far as I can tell, The Rant So it seems that Storm FM will not only have a new studio and a new logo when it starts broadcasting again soon, but also a Travel new Station Manager From Bangor To most members of Storm are sad to see him go. After a year in charge of the station and one which Bangor has involved many changes for Storm FM, it is a shame that Spencer felt the need to resign before they took up broadcasting from their brand new studio in the basement of The ‘S’ Team the Students’ Union. Work on the studio has taken place over the summer, converting what were once the showers into a purpose built base for the station. In the twelve months that Spencer has been in charge at Storm, he has been well known The Great Orme throughout the Union as being a strong and very loud voice for Storm, working hard to move the station forward. Spencer does intend to continue to have an active part in Storm FM, still presenting his shows, but without the One Minute Welsh stresses of running a Standing Committee in his third year at university. Former Programme Controller Mike Walsh has been voted in by the Storm Executive and the Students’ Union Councilas the new Station Manager. Halloween Flicks So, it seems that Storm FM will not only have a new studio and a new logo when it starts broadcasting again soon, but also a new Station Manager.

Emma Prout John Jackson Emma Loran Perkins [email protected] Ian Davies Michael Mooney Emma Dixon Ross Butler Mark Jessett Rebecca Cook Kerrie Gardner LETTER TO THE EDITOR Simon Dando Abby Golightly Hi, Emlyn Williams I’m sure you’re glad to receive feedback regarding articles in your paper...so here is some! I have to disagree with the Kieran Dixon Music writer’s review of Lily Allen and her ‘Alright, Still’ album! In a British music scene currently dominated by these David Eykelestam sort of indie bands I think its refreshing to have something that’s a bit different out there. Robert Mann Unlike a lot of the other non-indie acts in the British popular music scene, she’s a spot-on singer that takes influence from Natalie Pierce-Jones --and appreciates -- a wide range of music, and she likes to be backed by a proper band in her gigs (unlike the awful Girls Yasmin Hayat Aloud who came to our Summer ball a few years ago and just sung along to a backing track (or maybe even mimed. I Phil Rhymes couldn’t work it out)). Loads of her songs are underlined by a cool groove and are decorated with good horn parts. Jeni Freeman Although I’m probably biased because my younger bro plays trumpet for her... Tell your music writer to check out the Amy Wallis iTunes exclusive live recording of “LDN” from Bush Hall in London (my bro’s first Lily gig)...the live horns sound phat! Proof reader: Carolan ..... One other thing, in the article, he seems to not be sure whether the Guardian and the Times dug lily’s work...being a Goggin Guardian reader I can say that yes, the Guardian did!

Truck is, of course, the highlight of Oxfordshire’s musical calendar. Now a proper grown-up festival with tickets selling out months ago, Truck continues to provide the most varied and comprehensive showcase of local and international music you’ll find. Our extensive festival preview in this issue touches on just a fraction of the great stuff you’ll be able to hear over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. The arrival of Cornbury Festival is a real boost to the county’s summer season. Set in some of the most picturesque countryside in the UK, the second Cornbury Festival boasts an impressive line-up of big names, from Robert Plant and The Pretenders, to Texas and Robyn Hitchcock, as well as some excellent lesser names, and with Truck, the Oxford Folk Festival and Charlbury Riverside Festival organisers also involved, it’s hoped that this year’s event will really put Cornbury on the musical map.
