Watch the new video from Bennett Wilson Poole for ‘Ask Me Anything’,  inspired by 60s and 70s spy movies, with Oxford’s social enterprise micro-brewery The Tap Social Movement (scene of BWP’s first ever gig, in fact) doubling as a vaguely Kafkaesque den of subterfuge.

James Yorkston has announced his second novel: The High And Lonesome Blues of Tommy The Bruce – Precise, chilling and all too believable – scored throughout with a genuinely unsettling menace, belied by the ease of James’s storytelling – it’s a shot of southern Gothic poured out in the Southern Highlands of Scotland.
