Isn’t it funny how you can live in a place for 10 years or so, and still there are locations you haven’t explored properly. La Sera has always been one of those places for me. Tucked in between the Coach & Horses and the 24/7 Turkish supermarket, two of my favourite haunts in Stoke Newington, this seafood restaurant [...]

Tin-Tone’s Magical Guitars
All photos by Ben Hopper (http://THEREALBenHopper.com) I’ve always loved guitars. Even though I can’t play to save my life I just can’t help but stop in front of music shops or any other collection of those beautiful shiny instruments.

Tallulah Rendall and the art of independently producing an album
Last year we interviewed Tallulah Rendall about her first album, Libellus, which turned out to be a bit of a beauty. Now she is back at work on her second offering, and to finance it she has found an ingenious way of mobilising her fans and support a charity on the side. We caught up [...]

Bringing It All Back Home
I’m nostalgic for a time I didn’t live through, a time when music was a pastime and a passion not a means to stardom and fortune. A time when musicians played to the local town and maybe sometimes the next town across and they sang about what was happening around them and what was relevant [...]

An Interview with Tallulah Rendall
For our first interview here on Stereo Stokey I met up with wonderful singer & songwriter Tallulah Rendall. We met in The Defoe to do the interview, and to tell you the truth, I was shitting myself. Turned out there was no need for that at all, and we had a great chat about lions, [...]
