Promoter and Founder, Terry Guy, compares it to the Championships League, but for Art. Imagine the plastic seats and confines of a stadium where the penchant for wearing cloned coloured tops with numbers is replaced with gritty, interesting architecture and imaginative yet co-ordinated couture and you are one step closer to experiencing one side of a Secret War.

Date for your diaries, folks – on Saturday 21 November Drift is taking over the howies store in Bristol for a day of surf-related entertainment.
When the wheels came off the ecomony (and Drift) back in 2008, the surf industry shuddered. Share prices fell, magazines prepared for the inevitable and retailers folded. But to add a positive shine to 2009, the Surf Expo is back for 2010. And where is it? Right on my doorstep. I’d better get an invite.
What is this wonderful, droning idiotic repetition of a tune? Why, it must be Jeff Lewis & The Junkyard tuning up and starting their set in the bowels of the boat they call “Thekla” this Monday night in Bristol.
