Kyle Van Oosterum Band-members: Lead singer/songwriter: Anthony Kiedis. Bass: Flea. Drums/Percussion: Chad Smith. Lead guitar/backing vocals: Josh Klinghoffer. This summer I had the incomparable pleasure of seeing the Red Hot Chili Peppers perform in Chicago with one of my best friends. What can I say? More than zombified teens and monolithic record companies, time really […]

Claire Fenerty As locals well versed in the vibrant history of our city, my friends and I could not wait to experience the Summer of Love exhibition at the San Francisco de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. If you just asked yourself, “what’s the Summer of Love?” I’ve got you covered. The Summer of […]
Euan Elder Andy Coulson, David Cameron’s former director of communications, argued that the “youth vote has come out in strength and lashed out pretty aggressively” in relation to the recent 2017 British election. There was a significant rise in the amount of young voters: 66.4% of 18 to 24 year olds let their voice be […]
Euan Elder When I first heard about the Manchester terror attack, I was in the middle of a conversation with my friends, discussing the songs that our younger selves had overplayed to a sickening extent. Music can play a crucial role in uniting people: it has the power to bring those who share interests in […]
Zsanett Ritli Having my third May Ball experience lined up on the last day of April. The ball organized annually by the Kate Kennedy Club is one of the most anticipated events of the St Andrews student social calendar.

Claire Fenerty Here’s what I imagined: I’m wearing three layers of mismatched pyjamas, I have extra bags under my puffy eyes, and I’m unhappy about meandering through St Andrews in the dark. My friends and I are alone on the beach where several sparse groups of students are doing the same thing we are, in […]
Euan Elder After a long, hard week of lectures and tutorials, sometimes the perfect way to unwind from a stressful week is to enjoy a good ol’ Bop.

Hugh M Casey Ζωή Σοφία Εὐτυχία Melodies and people dancing beneath brightly strung lights, smiling, warm. Φαντασία. Simplicity untouched within Younger Hall. The inaugural event of Bacchanalia was smooth and carefree. Between 9 pm and 2 am there was no silence. Quickly inside the door was quiet chat, laughter at the human statues guiding you […]
Marina Carnwath DONT WALK is simply an extremely professional enterprise. The night, in its entirety, seemed meticulously orchestrated and executed, with the arrival, show, and after party flowing into one another with minimal disruption. The abundance of such high profile fashion shows this term always strikes one as a little bizarre for a student town, […]
Hugh M Casey This Friday, Younger Hall will play host for “Bacchanalia.” This is the first time the event will be held. I met with Helen Sanderson, one of the event organisers, to find out what the chat was. I have been promised all manner of things. Certainly, the formalities that are expected of Younger […]
It was cool but it was all pretend… I can breathe for the first time.
Having been in St Andrews for three and half years, I struggle to walk anywhere around the town without being reminded of experiences or conversations as I go along. The same can be said for music, just like how you can associate a certain song with a particular time in your life, some songs for […]
New year. New tunes. New you. Right? Either way, here’s a fresh tune for every occasion you’ll encounter during re-freshers week, to ease you back into the semester after six glorious weeks off.
