Pandorasdiary – Smell The Roses

admin — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 14:23:00 +0000

Some artists are true creatives, refusing to accept the status quo and pushing forward with new and innovative ways to create music and share those sounds. Pandorasdiary is launching a video of a flashmob tour during rush hour in London – playing the song in 5 different locations, gathering friends along the way. ‘London can be hectic and sometimes we forget to stop and see the beauty of the city we live in or to smile. This song is an anthem to being in the moment.’

The video is filled with five flash performances across London during the rush hour with lots of beautiful people, singing and waving flowers.Anything that reinforces the need to live mindfully, seizing the passions of the day and throwing ourselves into them, whilst at the same time being a homage to the best city in the world, makes me bloody happy and deserves to be shared.

The Garage – Live

admin — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 17:13:37 +0000

There’s nothing better than enthusiasm and an DIY attitude especially when the output is so good. The Garage-Live TV, a series of six hafl hour programmes is a new show in the North East showcasing local talent and the myriad musical output from the region.

Musicians and creative artists from across the region came together to record the 45 min programme at North East Recording studios based at The Garage, South Shields.

Inspire by the 1980s TV show The Tube, produced in Newcastle for Channel 4 by Tyne Tees Television and presented by Jools Holland and Paula Yates, the project was started by Chay Blyth, and has been produced entirely by volunteers, who recognise the value of supporting their local music scene.
Colin Simpson, cameraman for the show says that ‘It’s nigh on impossible to get heard if you’re from anywhere north of Manchester, which is a shame because there’s hundreds of really hard working bands round here that are just as good, if not better, than what’s being mass-marketed nationally and internationally, they just haven’t had a national platform until now.’
Come Autumn the show will be aired on Sky TV, but until then, catch the first episodes here, or have a look at the trailer for episode five below…

I've been lazy: Part 2: Tizzie Kite

So… part 2 of my lazy blog posts. I actually intended to do this post in September, so I am severely behind! So far Tizzie Kite has just done covers, my personal favorite being Talking to The Moon by Bruno Mars, which you can check out here:[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkocu2AFOY4]
She has such a strong voice and you can really hear her own kind of take to the songs shes singing. She’s actually been making covers to songs on YouTube as part of a challenge set to her by the Salvation Army, and I believe she has completed her challenge now.
