BLOC PARTY TEST

Bloc Party will release their new album 'FOUR' on August 20th via Frenchkiss Records. Produced by Alex Newport (Death Cab For Cutie, The Mars Volta, At The Drive-In), the album was recorded and mixed in New York and will mark the bands first full-length since 2008's acclaimed ‘Intimacy’.

The band have also announced a string of European, US and festival appearances following a two year absence from the stage, which will give fans the first opportunity to hear new material from their forthcoming album as well as those classic tracks from the band’s 10 year history. The overwhelming demand resulted in the UK dates instantly selling out, the band adding a third date at New York's Terminal 5, and Splendour In The Grass festival where the band play a headline slot selling out within 45 minutes.

TEST POST

The No1 Traveller lounge brings calm and ease to the typically frantic airport run, literally always in our case. The ultimate pre-flight experience, the lounges can be found at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted. We recently visited the flagship location in Heathrow which is pretty special. Made up from various different rooms including a cinema, library, games room, spa and dining area you could literally hang here for hours...don’t, you will miss your flight! Entrance to the lounge includes drinks from the bar, food from the buffet and a hot dish – all of which you can enjoy on comfy seats whilst looking out over the runway.

There are magazines and books to read of if like us you want to start your journey in style grab a glass of red, a plate of cheese and head to the mini-cinema. Otherwise spoil yourself with a massage in the travel Spa or take advantage of the small bedrooms and get your head down, ideal if you are awaiting a connecting flight or have been delayed - they come with en-suite bathrooms too.

There is plenty to keep you occupied and the No1 Traveller Lounge is not as expensive as you might think, bookable from as little as £30. Which when you think about what a meal and drinks costs in the airport at one of the dodgy food outlets isn’t bad!
