The Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award is open to poets 11 -17 years of age, and has consistently uncovered scrumptious talent in its 13 years in existence… Let’s get a Balladeer exposed this year!
Good Luck! x
This year LOVEBOX have teamed up with Art Against Knives to raise awareness and money for the worthy cause. The charity was born out of the tragic, unprovoked stabbing of Central St Martins Student Oliver Hemsley and has gained the support of artists and celebrities including Tracey Emin, Giles Deacon, Vivienne Westwood, Antony Gormley, Tim Walker, Rankin…the list goes on.
The charity has set up long term projects engaging young people from troubled areas in art workshops and have recently launched Darkroom a permanent space to nurture raw talent in these communities. The work that Art Against Knives carry out is amazing, and such a worthy and necessary cause. Support them, follow them and spread the word. You can see a full list of events on their website. And don’t forget to appreciate the art.

16th 17th & 18th July, and it a total early 80s LoveIn with Roxy Music and Grace Jones…Jeeeeez this summer is good for festivals!! My stripped down LoveList includes:
* Bombay Bicycle Club * Ellie Goulding * Mystery Jets * The Maccabees * Empire of the Sun * Matt Henshaw * I Blame Coco * ROXY FRIGGIN MUSIC!!!! * Wild Beasts * GRACE JONES!!! * Hercules & Love Affair * Hot Chip * The Correspondents *
Festival Fashion really gets my tase buds tingling…and since at LOVEBOX we get to start every day fresh as a daisy, I’m expecting good things. I predict that the fashions will reflect Grace (should I say I’m HOPING that the fashion will reflect Grace) and I want to see a load of shoulder pads, blazers and no trousers.
Ballad Of… have been keeping a very close eye on the NME BREAKTHROUGH competition which saw Matt Henshaw beat off competition from Ballad faves Loose Talk Costs Lives to win his place to open the Main Stage on Friday 16th. That will be one not to miss.
So yes, the countdown has begun. Blue eye shadow, oil on legs, (I’ll let you off with the stilettos, a pair of boots will do)..maybe a glove, lets all head to Victoria Park, LOVEBOX is calling.
