The interview with Ojan is now on the internet - so if you fancy having a little nose, or maybe you want to check out a new artist/producer then go check out the interview.
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!
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).
