FEATURES: McJazZyFest 2K11 – When It’s Time to Party We Will Party Hard!
Friday, July 8th, 2011
McJazzyFest started out on small North Antrim farm 3 years ago as a camping party for a few friends who enjoyed music, dancing and the odd pint of beer. Growing from a small number of friends, to 60 people at last year’s event, to 350 happy campers this year, McJazzyFest has risen to become Northern Ireland’s ‘biggest small independent music festival’.

FEATURES: Q-Con Takeover
Saturday, June 25th, 2011
Hardcore music fans go to Glastonbury, hardcore cupcake fans go to the sabb office for Sam Tan cupcakes, and hardcore gamers? They rock the Q-con. From 24-26th of June, Queen’s Students’ Union plays host to the largest gaming convention in Ireland. The event attracts gamers from all over the country; from the rural hamlets of Cork to the fantasy land of Hyrule à la Zelda. If there’s an internet connection, there’s a way.

HOOD: HOOD Awards
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011
Since the year is finished, the time has come for the Hood to look back over the year and dish out some awards to the societies, people and so on that I feel deserve to have the cold light of day poured onto their pimply backsides. Unlike the SU awards, these awards have been well thought out, and will not be awarded based on good relations with staff. The recipients and nominees will not get a dinner, nor will any society receive more than one award. However, in a similar vein to the SU awards however, these are undemocratic, uncounselled and decided by a heavily breathing man sitting in the dark.

FEATURE: Eurovision gets the X-Factor
Saturday, May 14th, 2011
After working through the first Eurovision semi-final, the second clearly allowed for a well deserved break. Essays are due (impending doom), but Jedward and ice cream are too hard to resist. Glee is clearly a big influence this year, the best act being Estonia with the Rachel Berry-esque girl singing about going to Rockefeller Street. There is no Rockefeller Street, in case you were wondering, but that is irrelevant for the voters of Eurovision.BY EMMA GALLEN (more…)
