Sad news for Tynesiders.
Gutted to hear that JG Windows in Newcastle has permanently closed. The record & musical instrument shop opened in 1908 in the beautiful Central Arcade. Over the years they've welcomed many North East musicians.

The new Masters of Cinema edition of Hugo Fregonese's Black Tuesday (which I produced!) is out now. I talked to Sergio Angelini about it for his podcast on film noir, alongside several key contributors to the disc: Barry Forshaw, Sheldon Hall and Sergio himself.

Planning to watch the BFI and Film Foundation restoration of I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING! (Powell and Pressburger, 1945) today? It's on BBC Two (and iPlayer) at 16.10. Given my borderline obsession with the film, here’s a thread with some IKWIG-related info and links.
