Music is often discovered in one’s youth. Whether searching for “rebellious songs to listen to when I’m angry at my parents” or analysing the great tracks of decades past, teenagers channel their taste in music alongside their evolving sense of self. Adolescence is chaotic and disconcerting; teens seek either refuge or reassurance in the […]
Sarabeth Murray analyses “Bad Blood” in the wake of the 2016 Presidential Election.
Sarabeth Murray Maybe one of the most frustratingly catchiest songs ever written, you could argue that Omi took the world by storm last year when he released “Cheerleader”.

One month on, Lucy Bishop looks back at Opening Ball via verse.
Get involved in Scotland’s largest student run arts festival.

The intricate parts involved for all choral ranges are so complicated that they seem better suited to string performers, rather than voice.

By Cassie Naimie What do the kids these days say again? Oh yeah, “It was lit”. The Edinburgh-based night club in 601 on April 2nd was exactly what I thought it would be: a group of blissfully happy St. Andrew’s students getting their rave on. With an entry fee of £2, it was well worth […]
Ham and Cheese Panini? A Review on The Smirths By Kenalyn Ang 4 Apr. 16 Audience members file into a lit theatre, finding their seats, perusing leaflets of upcoming OTR events. Soft chatter fills the house, but soon attendees catch sight of a solitary Blind Mirth member, standing on the stage, seemingly running over his […]
By Annabel Romanos Hot Mess was a genuinely charming piece of theatre. When I first heard that a show was being put on in The Lizard, my heart dropped (in the best way possible) because that place is my JAM. And despite the show having to move into 601 (for health and safety […]
