  • Review: Kate Rusby Victoria Theatre Halifax, April 14, 2024

    We forgot the howling gales and lashing rain of a wet April night and just enjoyed the songs, the music, the gentle banter and wholesome good humour she is just so good at. We were at the marvellous Victoria Theatre Halifax, the third gig in her two-month, 16-date tour dubbed the Singy Songy Session tour. So named after the YouTube videos Kate and her family released during lockdown which were filmed in their living room and the garden of their farmhouse. She talks about her wonderful childhood...

    Say farewell to the classic XPS 13, and say hello to the spiffy new XPS 13. Dell surprised us at CES by bringing the modern (and somewhat controversial) design of 2022's XPS 13 Plus to its entire flagship lineup, which now includes the larger XPS 14 and 16 models. With this new design, they all have invisible haptic trackpads hidden beneath the glass-covered wrist rest, a capacitive top row of function keys (which can instantly switch to media controls), and wider gap-less keyboards that have...
