The Elektrik Cave - Artwork
So, I know on facebook and on twitter I sent out a few posts about anyone creating my art work - and then I had a huge realisation that no one will probably respond (which was only a little bit true as a very few did, and none of which seem particularly serious about doing it).

So, I'd seen this guys artwork sort of bobbing around on the net and on his brothers album cover and I really liked his stuff, so I emailed him not really expecting a reply. A day or two later I got a reply. And I was over the moon! And he was so lovely too, which was great!
Anyway, a long story short - he created the art work for my show, and I absolutely love it! Its amazing. So, I thought I'd share it with you guys!

Its so good, so I was well chuffed with it!

Portico Quartet - 18th Oct. 2012 gig
 |
| Ticket for Portico Quartet |
So, on the 18th October 2012, I went to see Portico Quartet for the first time, and they were really really good! A mate of mine had just interviewed them, and was like do you want to come with me to see them live, and I was like "well yeah!" - so we got our tickets sorted and watched from the members lounge.
After seeing Ed Sheeran earlier that week, I would argue that the set that Portico Quartet had to offer was just phenomenal in comparison. Don't get me wrong Ed was good, but Portico Quartet were amazing.
Th acoustics in the Roundhouse is always perfect for live performances - because of the shape, so the music just travelled round the edge, almost awakening the walls of the old "turntable engine shed" (I quote from wikipedia).
Taylor McFerrin also did a set, and he was great. He was so good, I played him in my first radio show on Roundhouse Radio.
He's also the son of Bobby McFerrin - so I expected that he would be really good!
I didnt get to see DJ LV's set - but I'm sure it was good.
And that was the blog post that I was meant to post back in October - but I've been so busy I havent had much time.
Remember to tune in to The Elektrik Cave on Roundhouse Radio, for an hour of Electronic music from around the globe.

Ed She Ran!
Heyaaaa,
I really dont know why I put "Ed She Ran!" as the title for this post, because to my awareness no one ran! :/
BUTTT...
...yesterday I saw Ed Sheeran in the Hammersmith Apollo (cinema turn't gig space - and when I told my mate this, she was like "I don't care").
Anyway, he was amazing (two words I use often "Anyway" and "amazing"). He really got the crowd going, and some times his gig was calm, and other times they were pretty mad and intense! At one point he got everyone to put there arms round the person they came with and to sway with them. This was fun, my only issue is that my mate is about 5cm tall and I'm about a metre tall (if we could convert it in to cm stuff - I really should stop teasing her about her height, really she cant do anything to change it - therefore I declare (right here, right now) on blogspot that I love her shortness, and I only tease her out of love! Amen).
Ed Sheeran was really good live, and to be honest I kinda knew what to expect because I saw him at the Hackney Weekender, but the HUGEEE stage didnt do him much justice because his music is quite raw.
He used the loopy thing a couple of times, and got the audience to be quiet, and it felt really nice - it felt like I was in a personal recording session with Ed, and just watching him do his thing.
As always, I did my "Woooooo!" thing, and I always aimed to catch the quiet points in the gig (obviously except the times he told everyone to be quiet).
In addition to Ed, he also had some fantastic support acts.One of which, was amazing in terms of vocals and sounded like a one man band Mumford and Son. He's name was Passenger and I guess you could check him out. I think he has a EP coming out soon (or its just come out, I cant remember which).

ANYWAY, last night was pretty epic, I got home mega late, and still had homework to do. I thought, lemme go to bed now, and in the morning I will see a more motivated, young individual who isn't so tired!
