Reclaim the Night
Reclaim the Night has its historic roots in the 1970’s, where the first march occurred in Leeds to demand a woman’s right to walk the streets safely at night. The Reclaim the Night website states writes, “In every sphere of life we negotiate the threat or reality of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment. We […]
Reviewed: Welly Ball
Despite the fact that week 8 had granted me a healthy dose of cynicism, I nonetheless strapped on my wellys and braced for my night at Kinkell Byre. Greeted by the familiar array of fairy lights and plastic flutes of prosecco, I graciously accepted and sipped my bubbly, all the while weaving my way through […]
House of Horror- A Review
Willy Wonka famously starts the tour of his fantastical factory by announcing “We have so much time and so little to see!” One might think that after so many Halloweens at Kinkell Byre this statement may have carried over this year’s installment of the House of Horror Charity Gala. But Alas like Wonka himself, the […]
A Welly Ball Preview
Georgie Stafford of the Welly Ball committee grants some insight on St Andrews’ favourite boozy and bucolic ball of the year, coming up on the 10th of November. How would you characterise this year’s Welly Ball? How does it differ from last year? Welly Ball is in its eleventh year now and in honour of […]
Review: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The first thing that needs to be said in any review of The Rocky Horror Picture Show is that Tim Curry deserves an Oscar. With that out of the way, we can move on to the second thing: even Tim Curry at his best just can’t beat the sheer joy of flinging a […]
Stop the BOP
After a long week it’s finally Friday night, so what are your plans? Maybe you’re after a low key night at one of the many pubs and bars in town; there might be an event on at the Vic; or maybe you feel like dancing. But the only real club in St Andews is the […]
Label Fashion Show: A Review
In a town where the market for fashion shows is pretty much completely saturated, it seems inevitable that a hierarchy will form. FS and DW at the top, everyone else down below. Attending Label 2018, however, has made me rethink my perceptions of lower-budgeted, and apparently lesser fashion shows. While I was sceptical about […]
May Ball: Music Review
Henry Smith and Bertie Lumsden Between drunk driving bumper cars, eating champagne ice pops, and ordering drinks at any of the three extensive bars, attendees could sip to Cool Jazz, boogie on the main dance floor, or go to the VIP area. Upon entering, guests were greeted by a glass of champagne and a Jazz […]
Review: Bacchanalia
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 […]
Music Review: DONT WALK 2017
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, […]
Preview: Bacchanalia
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 […]

REVIEWED : Hedwig and the Angry Inch
by Lottie Garton The Byre was full of anticipation at 7:30 on Wednesday, as we all prepared to be wowed by the brilliant duo of Tommy Rowe and Kate Kitchens, as Hedwig and Yitzhak. The entrance was brilliant, with Hedwig sporting a pair of legs most girls only dream of. The show went off with […]
REVIEWED: Music is Love, Overground
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 […]
REVIEWED : The Smirths
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 […]
