Updates!

- As you all know, this year was the last Ninjafest. 2008 will bring a new festival, held on the same weekend at the same venue with the same format but under a different name. Running Riot Fest will be held on the 25th and 26th October at the Underworld and promises to follow where Ninjafest left off. A myspace page has been set up and band submissions are currently being taken. Please add the page for future developments.



- London Calling is looking for new writers... we would like more people to update the news (UK based), as well as column writers (anywhere). If you would like to write about anything or simply do a scene report, please drop me a mail to: London.calling.hc@gmail.com. The banner on the messageboard is also currently up for grabs so if you would like to advertise there, please email.



Finally, I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic new year, and I hope that 2008 brings you all that you hope and wish for.
