On the wavelength of Planet Water, there‟s co-recommending Un-Convention (Salford 1st-3rd October) http://www.unconventionhub.org/ and UpRise Festival (3rd October mid day anti-racism & unity celebration at Finsbury Park – free entry) http://uprise.org.uk/ All something different and positive.

"The self-styled 'Costa del Thames' plays host to the capital's biggest and broadest festival of alternative arts.

For the whole of October, the Deptford triangle is

transformed into a mini-city-stage of bands, films, visual arts, drinking and dancing."

(Time Out Magazine)

Artful started in “Rocklands”, initiating the social inclusion of

Uniqulture.

The „Artbeat Central‟ of London

is a hotbed of creative industry, colourful community, a wealth of inter arts and sports events, educational excellence and over 70,000 students at Greenwich University, Lewisham College and Greenwich alone.

The Olympic spirit has always been here.

Artful is the "Out-of-the-ordinary festival on London's South East Bank, with cabaret, music, film and more" (Independent On Sunday). On this Uniqulture wavelength is mutual co-promotion during Artful‟s overlap with the capital‟s leading visual art festival, Deptford X (24th September to 3rd October). www.deptfordx.org It‟s spreading like ripples from a pond. Artful events now happen all over the UK, but staying true to it‟s roots, mostly in the London‟s South East X postcodes. This is for and by a special community in a part of town that is equally gritty and pretty because we ARE worth it. Promote / network at www.facebook.com/southeastx.london

"Its a ramshackle helter skelter of a festival with the best events likely to be arranged minutes before they actually take place. Nothings really organised until its already happened is how one organiser put it to us last week (with the kind of ambiguity that journalists just love). " (Pulse)

Presented by Gene Pembleton | Saturdays 9 - 11am local time / approx 2pm GMT

Many of the UK Artful faves have found themselves getting airplay in USA courtesy of this radio show. http://wrir.org "Good Morning Richmond" were the first spoken words to go over the FM airwaves for a music show on WRIR on January 1, 2004 at 9AM. The first song ever played was "Around The Dial" by The Kinks. The show was co-hosted by Jess Cundari Reilly and current host Gene Pembleton. “We brought a unique blend of UK and UK related music spanning six decades. Over time the show evolved and took on a bit of a different flavor placing even more emphasis on new UK bands. The show became a carnival of sorts and opposite styles gelled. And the format really hasn't changed but more emphasis was placed on playing new and unsigned UK acts and a deeper catalog of old UK music. The show mixes vinyl and CD's.” Gene Pembleton continues to bring you the most eclectic yet accessible show every week. This show has played over a thousand new UK bands since it's inception. This approach will never change. The support for talent, old, new and future, is very much appreciated, and with his reputation growing on this side of The Atlantic , Gene is sometimes one of the first radio presenters to give them airplay. The full story : http://wrir.org/index.php?/shows/program/the_british_breakfast/

TwoBob www.twobob.net got a lovely evening out on 3rd October starring Ceri James - www.myspace.com/cerijames who helped put New Cross on the world music map has become

The Tricks http://www.myspace.com/itsthetricks

Upbeat, funky and infectious, like four fever spreading sultans, Joel, John, Eliot and Ash‟s music will race through your body and get deep under your skin, penetrate your soul and leave you craving more; with delicious rhythm soaked songs like the elegant „Elanore‟ and „Kil It On The Night‟ , which will have you dancing with the nearest person, object or animal (preferably a cat) regardless of where you are when you are listening, The Tricks‟ music has the power to do this.

Formerly The Black Tricks, they‟ve supported fellow alternatives such as

Dirty Pretty Things, Babybird and The Paddingtons and had their music featured on BBC Radio. The Tricks are on the brink of taking over the

world with their melodically magic music and were recently experienced live by an LA pool while they were recording in USA. The Tricks, more

addictive than a packet of MSG soaked crisps, and far tastier!

The Bodells - Alt-funk Popsters with pounding melodrama and two

part vocals. http://www.myspace.com/thebodells

The Freewheelin Troubadour - A genuine legend of a poet

so inspiring that he is immortalised as a comic book character. Dion Powers is also creating his own book from scratch. The Freewheelin Troubdaour is “influenced by the thought of making even one person think, the music and movement of the 60's, and by the current lack of anything inspiring happening at present.”. An Artful essential. www.myspace.com/thefreewheelintroubadour

Panda~Power! is a night filled with art, music, possibilities, friendship and good tunes/times.

Friday 8 October CHAMBER at New Cross Inn

Meddicine: www.myspace.com/meddicine. After her recent Offset Festival performance this one woman show creates hypnotic and chaotic fuzzed up electronic post punk. Sonic Youth diversions into white noise and tribal drum machine welds itself between Lydia Lunch and Velvet Underground at their most unforgiving. Psychedlic-Coldwave? “Bjork hanging out with massive attack in their darkest moments, throw some thrash metal and a bit of post punk and that’s what we're dealing with here” ( My Bad), “Short and violent slabs of industrialized post-punk noise provide the jagged backdrop to composer Monikka’s distorted vocals, echoes of old and new colliding into a body-bruising beauty.” (Better Than Sex). Orpheus Knoxx: www.myspace.com/orpheusknoxx A sultry and melancholic landscape, like looking out of a window on a winter‟s day as the rain beats down on the forlorn horizon with Erica MacArthur voice lost and sullen as the minimal music gently teeters around the edges. This is what Tracey Thorn would have sounded like if she‟d listened to Bauhaus, Cocteau Twins and The Chameleons. Lois Magic: www.myspace.com/loismagic Muffled vocals are barely audible over the incessant guitar feedback and layers of drum machines and backing spoken word vocals. At times unbearable, deranged church effect keyboards echo around your head in a nightmarish mess which occasionally seeps into moments of ethereal beauty. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1EVXd_dPoY Scarlett O‟Hara: http://soundcloud.com/scarlett-ohara Slow and meandering minimal electronica, with hushed female vocals over slithering synths and snare drums. Fairytale stories soft laments echo through the lyrics. Charming, but not a little discerning. If there was such a genre as magicstep then this is probably it. Not so much shoe, as diamante-slipper gazing, sparkle beats and mystical sounds with a lack of pretention that makes them subtly addictive. Lo fi pop with cutting edges. Holy electro batman! Trogons: www.myspace.com/trogonon This is the debut show for this fuzzy psychedelic quartet, waltzing organ moments shimmy away from the creeping and theatrical guitar and bass lines. Vocally they shift from almost story telling to wild shrieks. Au Pairs meets The Gun Club via Tori Amos.

John Peel was the greatest DJ the world has

known and over the course of his 40-year career he rode on

the crest of a wave bringing the best groundbreaking acts

to the public. T Rex, David Bowie, Elton John, Captain

Beefheart, The Slits, The Fall, Louden Wainwright, The

Damned, PJ Harvey, Pulp, Laurie Anderson, Extreme Noise

Terror, Nirvana, The White Stripes and many many more acts

owe their lucky break and careers to him.

We will celebrate

his legacy with red

wine, loud music

and a lot of

dancing and

laughter!

John Peel is an inspiration of Music Tourist

Board. The recommendations of live venues that

support new music from audiences and artists

alike is the foundation of “Peel Street”, part

of the Artful Alternative Adventures being set

up around BritainIreland.

Thank you to Artful vanguard media, God Is In The TV music & culture web site www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/ for

30th October afternoon – The MadCap Coalition community festival and parade

(every day Madcap Deptford folks photographed by Polstar Photography.

Revolution Revolution Revolution The start of Manic Street Preachers, Motown Junk was undeniably

a call to arms for the disaffected listeners at the dawn of the 90’s. Yet it’s never been needed more than now, 2010, the age of an unelectable election, a far from sovereign sovereignty and more

and more armchair revolutionists by the day, calling for something to be done, laying the blame at someone else’s dirty feet, and yet –

in a time when the sounds of our screaming should pour into the very cracks of the disunited

Kingdom’s core, everyone is silent, watching Eastenders,

getting turned on by sales in IKEA and paying for Simon Cowell’s waistline to get tailored higher and higher.

Music, like its listeners or possibly because of them has lost its

very soul, poetry is laughed at and Auto-tune is the new god for the so called stars on our television screens. But as

Patrick Jones stated somewhere in the opening of ‘everything must go’ - “we didn’t start this you know, we didn’t start this fucking war

we call living today, okay, we didn’t have a choice say, did we? He goes on to say “sort the working class out you said- well take a

fucking look around you- we are the generation with no name, the x

y z e generation, the losing, don’t care, the no- nothing generation, we are the frightened generation, the anything generation.”

Patrick along with his brother’s band of passionate yet increasing

desperate revolutionaries are desperately longing for some signs of life. We owe Richey to do something with the

words, the wisdom and the provocative thoughts he left us, more importantly we owe it to ourselves to do something, to the

generation of fuck up’s after us. I was thinking, looking at my friends list of poets who I adore, musicians that I respect and love and artists, photographers, film

makers, models, graffiti artists… the list is endless, all with passion in what they are doing, all with a flame in their eyes…

I thought – why not do something with that? Why not try and

organise a platform for all of us to come together, share and create what we have, have our own last shot at mass

communication.

I’m not 100% sure how to do this yet, I have a few ideas, but I know

that with a little passion it can be done.

A movement, a new art riot if you like, of people who are

going to stand up and say I’m not going to take it no more. The 2000’s has so far been a decade of false promises and soulless art.

It’s time we did something – anything, and we are all

talented at something. This is not as impossible as it seems.

Now I’m going to need to know who’s on board, and what they can

offer, plus your ideas suggestions and location, and I’ll message everyone when it all comes together.

This will be the start of something magical.

We are nothing and should be everything….
