Excerpts from A Very Spectrum Christmas (Part 6), by Thomas A. Christie. In this section: "Special Delivery" by Creative Sparks (1984). Throughout the 1980s, thousands of British children were lucky enough to discover a Sinclair ZX Spectrum under their Christmas trees and soon found their eyes opened to a virtual world of wonder. But Santa Claus did more than deliver computers — sometimes he appeared on them, too. This book delves into the Spectrum’s extraordinary pantheon of seasonal games: the good, the bad, the surprising, the unabashedly surreal and the occasionally rather tenuous. "A Very Spectrum Christmas" is Copyright ©2021 Thomas A. Christie, all rights reserved, and is published by Extremis Publishing Ltd. This title is available as a physical book from www.extremispublishing.com and all good online retailers and independent booksellers worldwide.

Baby Panna - Out The Mud

Rapper Baby Panna is still in the preliminary stages of his career, but his new EP amplifies a hunger that seems to have been with him from the start. His style flitters between melodic, acoustically composed hip-hop and psychedelic trap; there’s evident influence from the likes of Playboi Carti and Kendrick Lamar, however equally from British producers like JD. Reid too.  Baby Panna released his first lot of music back in 2019 which was a mixtape including his work over that past year, his music varies in style and genre and this really shows throughout his first mix of music. He likes to think of himself as a boundary pusher like the artists that he looks up to but at the same time he wants to take the time to create music and release them when the time is right for him. He is an up-and-coming artist from the south coast and one to keep your eye on for sure!

You Left Love Feat. Jeremy Meek, Steve Black, Johnny Tunnard and Tom Bryson The long awaited first original from myself filmed at the most wonderful location ‘Castke Dyke’ September 2019. Tell a lie I created my first original several years ago which can be found on my YouTube channel titled ‘Patience was never a virtue’ written for my father and to reflect that losing everything requires you to defeat all odds and still go out and grab you’re dream.. ‘You left Love’ is my second original I’ve name after losing my father this year! One of the hardest times I will ever relinquish. I wrote this song when my father was very ill and unfortunately he never got to see the finished product! I am truly grateful that some very well known muso friends of mine accepted my invitation to help me produce the track! Jeremy Meek on bass, Johnny Tunnard on keys, Steve Black on guitar and Tom Bryson on drums! I cannot thank you enough for everyone’s support and hard work! Thank you dad for being my guide through life and for making me the person I am! Even though you are not here anymore I can still fill your pushing hands guiding me through life! I love you and always will ❤️
