There is an old adage that enjoins readers not to judge a book by its cover and yet I must confess to a twinge of annoyance when I saw the depiction of Indian soldiers of the Great War portrayed on the cover of Kate Imy’s Faithful Fighters. I presumed (wrongly) that the book dealt primarily with the history of what is today labelled as the “British Indian Army”. The cover depicts a group of British Sikh re-enactors dressed in WW 1 uniforms photographed in front of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton during the centenary…

Friday was a beautifully sunny day to start the festival’s big stages. Prior to the day’s biggest acts – the not-so mystery act the ChurnUps, dance star Fred Again, and a Fomo-inducing final clash between Arctic Monkeys, Wizkid, Kelis, Hot Chip, Fever Ray and a Chemical Brothers DJ set – the day kicked off for many with a certain lustrously-curled motivator.Joe Wicks kicked things off early with an on stage fitness session, with the Theatre and Circus area providing a health kick for young and old festivalgoers…

It’s one of the cruel rules of love and attraction that the more you try to impress someone, the less you’ll succeed; no-one likes a try-hard. And so it proves with rock’n’roll: heavily produced, overthought and desperate to please bands just don’t resonate like the ones who are doing it to please themselves. After a few albums on which Foo Fighters have felt like they were trying too hard to do the thing they once did so naturally – rock out – this secret set at Glastonbury, loosened of expectation, sees them finally…

Mortal Kombat 1 got an extended gameplay trailer at the Summer Game Fest, held early Friday, and it looks absurdly violent in all the right ways. The game serves as a reboot — the beginning of a new timeline in the universe, forged by the Fire God Liu Kang, following his ascension into godhood at the end of Mortal Kombat 11.
