Ding ding. All change at the Honeycomb. The beautiful friendship between Colours and Honeycomb Entertainments has come to a close and so it‘s out with ‘IT' and in with Audio Deluxe, a new weekly Saturday showcasing the talents of Edinburgh’s own Craig Smith (pictured). Catherine Bromley engages her foolish friend in conversation in the hope of finding out more.
Craig Smith? lsn’t he a bit like Yogi Haughton in that he’s been playing out in Edinburgh since he retrieved his records from the thaw of the Ice Age? Fav' (ice.
