A few days later…I love you Tlahui
05.05.2012
A cacophony of scales and arpeggios permeate the air around the whole school as I wake at 6 am, when I walk towards the canteen, to eat and finally lay to rest every night! From 5 am the students are up and busy with tasks, such as breaking enough eggs to constitute a satisfactory breakfast [...]
First days at CECAM Music School in Tlahuitoltepec
02.05.2012
So, I arrived in the small town of Tlahuitoltepec after three hours of climbing up an incredibly windy road out of Oaxaca city – away from most things up here on the top of a mountain. It’s a music school (called CECAM) with around 200 students and only six music teachers. No string teachers because it’s [...]
Society shown the Black Mirror – Charlie Brooker’s ‘The National Anthem’
07.12.2011
Sunday night saw the first of the new Charlie Brooker trilogy Black Mirror: The National Anthem. I was intrigued simply due to the synopsis given on SKY’s EPG: “A twisted parable for the Twitter age, Black Mirror taps into the collective unease about our modern world.” A political thriller, including social media, written and produced [...]
The Old Polarbear…
07.12.2011
It’s important to laugh at yourself isn’t it… I don’t want to put a question mark in there because it’s more of a statement that I am prompting you to agree with. There are so many serious aspects of life, so why would you choose yourself to be one of them? Laughing at yourself allows you to be comfortable with [...]
New Year’s Resolutions
07.12.2011
What a few weeks! It’s been crammed full as a tin of sardines. What with moving house, taking on another job, a trip to Norfolk on a creative retreat with the OneTaste ladies, and what turned out to be a very expensive (this is what happens when you don’t check your train tickets!) visit up north to [...]
Little Dragon
07.12.2011
Swedish group, Little Dragon, played their biggest London gig on 4th December with 2000 people singing every lyric to 3 albums worth of material. How’d this rise happen? And how did we get to know this amazing band? I came to know Little Dragon through a compilation that featured Jamie Woon‘s Wayfaring Stranger and Midlake‘s amazing Rosco [...]
OneTaste Festival – what’s all the fuss about?
02.11.2011
OneTaste has been going since 2004 and right from the off we decided that the best thing we could give annually as an offering to the arts community and audiences of London is an annual festival. So why a festival? Nearing winter? Are we maaaaaaaad? Yes and No. So WHY…? By the end of this [...]
Jazz hands at the ready…
02.11.2011
Well this month I have been absolutely no where unlike Stac and Debbie; well apart from cycling to work, moving house, exploring the new neighbourhood, sending and receiving some of the most ridiculous emails, as well as posting like a nutter on Facebook and Twitter…it’s been rather a quiet month! I may be surrounded by [...]
Ooh…Debbie à Paris
02.11.2011
What with Stac off in New York and I just coming back from a weekend in Paris you’d think that we at OneTaste were off sauntering about sipping champagne and cocktails all the time in lavish cosmopolitan cities (we wish!) Well it was a wonderful weekend and a welcome break from the hecticness of having [...]
Unleashed in NYC!
02.11.2011
I’m in New York! I’ve been here just over 24 hours and I’ve already been to Macy’s! This is something that has shocked me since I very much dislike shopping. Macy’s is not exciting. It was the opposite actually, but my friend Katie and I both needed tights and it seemed appropriate to kill two [...]
