If the Guardian hadn't given Will Hodgkinson £5000 to start a record label then Londonist wouldn't be spending Friday night in a folk club in Euston. But we're here for the album launch of Rosemarie, the debut long-player from new young folkers, Thistletown. Strangely the place does not fully resemble a hive of outcasts from The Wicker Man: bristling beards and woolly jumpers, curling tresses and flowing dresses. There are day we say it,......

This week - Simon Pegg polices the country town of Sandford (Hot Fuzz) and Jennifer Love Hewitt lives in Bristol (The Truth About Love). First, we must say sorry for the lack of Saturday Cinema Summary last week. We were saving London from certain destruction.

When the Frightfest made the move from the Prince Charles to the Odeon West End we couldn't help but feel a little sad. We attended the last full day event before the main festival relocated and we thought that was that. We were wrong. Frightfest itself doesn’t kick off until August, but for March 18th Eli Roth has provided a preview print of his Cabin Fever follow up, Hostel to be shown at the.........
