Label caught up with two members, Ed Hodges (Chair) and Miles Bennett (Media), of one of Loughborough’s new societies at the Bazaar yesterday to see how they’re finding Society life. Why did you found Fighting Robot Society, what do you do which is different? Ed: We figured it was an interest to a lot of people which they wouldn’t normally get to fulfill; Loughborough University has the perfect tools to accomplish that. How often do you meet up? Ed: We normally meet up once a week, on Wednesday afternoons in the STEMLab. Miles: But you can use the STEMLab…

Volunteer Milly Harrison provides a great nugget of info for those looking to get their dose of culture on a budget. Starting life over ten years ago as a community theatre ‘folk opera’ and later becoming a concept album, Anaïs Mitchell’s hit musical Hadestown has origins much more humble than its forthcoming Broadway transfer might suggest. Today it serves as a modern retelling of ancient myths, complete with revolving stage and diverse cast of talented performers. It deviates most obviously from its mythological roots in that the female lead Eurydice carves her own fate in this story – she…
Today Societies and LSU Sections filled up the Union Piazza, spreading into Room 1, with their Refreshers Bazaar. Students looking to join a society for Semester 2 were offered membership to a variety of clubs, given information about LSU’s sections, and provided with free pizza (big thanks to Dominos). The Bazaar is part of the Refreshers Week, getting students back into the swing of student life for Semester 2. It was held in tandem with Vintage Vera, selling vintage clothes in Room 1. While the Piazza was busy for most of the day, much of the foot flow was directed…
Returning volunteer, Bella Butler, brings you Label’s latest on sports. Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest man over 100m and 200m, has officially retired from all sports, having followed a football career after he had retired from athletics in 2017. As a charismatic and relaxed, yet competitive individual, his career has been phenomenal. In 2004, Bolt turned professional, and at 18 years old, he attended the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki. He appeared in the 200m final as the youngest athlete ever to do so, despite not medalling. In the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Bolt won silver again in…
In the midst of Brexit bedlam, the Royal Family is one part of Britain it seems we can rely on. In recent years, the relevancy of the British monarchy has been debated and interrogated, however the media prevalence of this famous family is greater than ever, for better and for worse. Last year Britain was enchanted by Harry and Meghan’s fairy-tale wedding, which captivated all those with dreams of becoming the next Cinderella. Then of course, the newlyweds announced their pregnancy, again seeing their names in headlines. All seems entertaining, but it was made even more so by the drama…
One of Label’s Head of Social Media, Emma Ames, talks us through the accomplishments of one of Britains most well-known sportsperson. Earlier this month, Andy Murray announced his retirement with a heavy heart in a teary-eyed press conference. Murray decided on his retirement due to complications with his hip, an injury he had surgery for in 2018 in order to carry on with his tennis career. However, after coping with chronic pain for many years from elbow and hip injuries, he has finally decided to hand in his racket so he can have a better quality of life following…
Label Volunteer, Isaac Cave, is here to give you the lowdown on the newest Spider-Man release. Is it worth watching in the cinema? Read on to find out… Spider-Man is currently enjoying a bit of a resurgence in popularity at the moment, from Tom Holland’s portrayal in the Marvel cinematic universe to the excellent video game release and now, Sony releasing another Spider-Man standalone film to add to the mix. Now after Sony’s last superhero film “Venom” was critically panned by yours truly a few weeks back, I had no reason to assume that this one would be any…
Label Editor, Amie Woodyatt gives us the low down on one of the stand-out pop albums of 2018. [dropcap style=square]C[/dropcap]oursework is all done, and I’ve put Jess Glynne’s 2018 album Always In Between on. Immediately “Intro” hits my soul with a strong brass, percussion and choir as backdrop to Glynne’s incredible vocal range. I’ve listened through the entire album a few times now, and every time I feel something different, but this time, the 29-year old’s lyrics hit home hard. “They say you’re no one until you’re somebody to someone”. Having recently come out of a relationship, this line…
