ROWDY TIME - GUMBALL COAST TO COAST
DAYDREAM NETWORK X ROYAL ALBERT HALL - LOAD
This summer, the Royal Albert Hall opens its doors for its edgiest and most unique exhibition yet – LOAD. For the first time ever, artists commissioned by the Royal Albert Hall in partnership with creative pioneers Daydream Network, will turn the walls of the historic venue’s Loading Bay into a gallery of graffiti and street artwork. On Monday 22 June, and for one day only, the Royal Albert Hall’s Loading Bay, located three floors underground, will be open free to the public to view this remarkable display.
Depicting the life story of the Royal Albert Hall’s 138 year history, LOAD will take a graphical journey through some of the most memorable moments in the Hall’s existence starting with its opening in 1871 through to one of the first showcases of electric lighting, the suffragettes movement, Winston Churchill’s TV broadcast with Lord Montgomery and Mohammed Ali’s knock out rounds. In addition to this, LOAD will display 10ft high murals, across a 1,125 square meter space, of the most iconic musicians to have graced the Hall’s legendary stage including stunning images of Jimi Hendrix, Pavarotti, Eric Clapton, The Killers and Frank Sinatra. A third space in the Loading Bay will be dedicated to the art forms’ urban roots with graffiti interpretation in keeping with the timeless and classic theme of the exhibition.
"Load is one of the most ground-breaking projects we've had at the Hall. We're privileged to be working with some truly innovative young street artists to transform one of the largest and yet most unseen spaces in this iconic building. This will be a visually dynamic piece of art and will be a contemporary tribute to parts of our amazing history." Lucy Noble, Head of Programming.
A team of up and coming artists from the UK are given the opportunity to showcase the diversity of styles that exist within street art as they transform the blank canvas of the Loading Bay walls. Using stencil style, photorealistic and freehand techniques, LOAD will be bold and distinctive, working with colour schemes and typography to bring the exhibition to life. This will be the first time in the Hall’s history that the Loading Bay will be used for anything other than behind the scenes and production requirements and will offer a chance for the public to experience the underground workings of this renowned building.
"The Daydream Network is proud to be involved by taking the graffiti and street art movement and mixing it with the British love affair of music, arts and entertainment. We look forward to making our mark at this world famous cultural landmark" Daydream Network.
This initiative is another step in affirming the Royal Albert Hall’s status as both an inclusive and accessible venue and one with the versatility to transcend the cultural generations. LOAD is an imaginative and vivid manifestation of the charity’s support for new emerging artists: it will take its place alongside the many other groundbreaking events to have graced this historic Hall, and remain in place to be admired for future generations of artists and performers.
A private viewing will take place on Monday 15 June with the public invited to see the exhibition for free on Monday 22 June.

Those Swines..............
No-one yet knows whether swine flu will become a global pandemic, but it is becoming clear where it came from – most likely a giant pig factory farm run by an American multinational corporation in Veracruz, Mexico.(1)
These factory farms are disgusting and dangerous, and they're rapidly multiplying. Thousands of pigs are brutally crammed into dirty warehouses and sprayed with a cocktail of drugs -- posing a health risk to more than just our food -- they and their manure lagoons create the perfect conditions to breed dangerous new viruses like swine flu. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) must investigate and develop regulations for these farms to protect global health.
Big agrobusiness will try to obstruct and scuttle any attempts at reform, so we need a massive outcry that health authorities can't ignore. Sign the petition below for investigation and regulation of factory farms and tell your friends and family and we will deliver it to the UN agencies. If we reach 200,000 signatures we will deliver it to the WHO in Geneva with a herd of cardboard pigs. For every 1000 petition signatures we will add a pig to the herd:

Last week the flu was all that we talked about -- Mexico has been nearly paralysed and across the world leaders halted air travel, banned pork imports and initiated drastic controls to mitigate the spreading virus. As the threat shows signs of subsiding the question becomes where it came from and how we stop another outbreak.
Smithfield Corporation, the largest pig producer in the world whose farm is being fingered as the source of the H1N1 outbreak, denies any connection between their pigs and the flu and big agrobusiness worldwide pays huge sums of money for research to argue that biosafety is ensured in industrial hog production. But the WHO has been saying for years that 'a new pandemic is inevitable'(2) and experts from the European Commission and the FAO have cautioned that the rapid move from small holdings to industrial pig production is in fact increasing the risk of development and transmission of disease epidemics. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn that scientists still do not know the extent that infectious compounds produced in factory farms affect human health.(3)
Studies abound of the horrific conditions endured by pigs in concentrated large-scale operations, and the devastating economic impact on small farmer communities of bloated large-scale operations.(4) Smithfield itself has already been fined $12.6m and is currently under another federal investigation in the US for toxic environmental damage from pig excrement lakes.(5)
But even with all of this damaging evidence, a combination of increased global meat consumption and a powerful industry motivated by profit at the cost of human health, means that instead of being shut down - these sickening factory farm operations are propagating around the world and we are subsidising them (6). In the wake of this swine flu threat, let's hold industrial pig producers to account. Sign the petition for investigation and regulation:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/swine_flu_pandemic
If we resolve this global health crisis boldly by reassessing our food consumption and production, and urgently calling for an inquiry into the impact of factory farms on human health, we could put in place tough farm practice rules that will save the global population from future animal borne lethal pandemics.
Deviation Tonight!!!!!!!!
6TH MAY 2009 THE REGULAR CLUB SESSION CONTINUES AT GRAMAPHONE, SPECIAL GUEST: MARTYN, ALONGSIDE RESIDENT DJ BENJI B.
After months of hype and anticipation, Dutch beats / dubstep / deep house, producer Martyn has just released his album Great Lengths on his own record label 3024 (20/04/2009), and it really is a killer. Tracks like "Vancouver", "These Words" and "Elden St" have been tearing down the Deviation club for the last year and it is our great pleasure to bring him over from Holland for a one-off Deviation session exclusive.
Martyn has been looking forward to Djing to our crowd and testing our incredible bespoke soundsystem for some time - Deviation is the environment that will allow him to stretch out and play a no compromise set.
We can't wait for what will undoubtedly be a heavy, sweaty dance floor session for all those who love deep bass orientated soulful music. If you're not too sure - allow us to convert you.
MAY I SUGGEST.......?
You be a good little boy/girl and return home from Do One, drink some water, have a nice big breakfast, go for a run, sponsor a puppy, help an old lady, then go to Salt Beef at 93 Feet East, no? Just get mash up and stay up all night then go to Salt Beef, okay, see you there, but see you here first!.................

ART AGAINST KNIVES...........
ON THE 4TH MAY THERE IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE AND
DESIRABLE EXHIBITIONS TAKING OVER SHOREDITCH TOWN HALL… ARTISTS
AND DESIGNERS FROM ACROSS EAST LONDON AND BEYOND HAVE COME
TOGETHER…
ON 28 AUGUST 2008, OLIVER HEMSLEY A 20- YEAR-OLD STUDENT FROM CENTRAL ST MARTIN’S COLLEGE, WAS STABBED BY
A GROUP OF YOUTHS AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES IN AN UNPROVOKED DAYLIGHT
ATTACK ON BOUNDRY STREET IN EAST LONDON. OLIVER'S HEART AND
BREATHING STOPPED UPON ARRIVAL AT THE ROYAL LONDON HOSPITAL, AND
WHILE HE WAS SUCCESSFULLY RESUSCITATED, HE HAD TO SPEND THE NEXT
134 DAYS IN INTENSIVE CARE RELYING ON LIFE-SUPPORT MACHINES TO KEEP
HIM ALIVE.
THANKFULLY, AS A RESULT OF OLIVER’S INSPIRATIONAL DETERMINATION AND
THE HARD WORK OF THE MEDICAL TEAMS WHO TREATED HIM, HIS LIFE IS NO
LONGER IN IMMEDIATE DANGER AND HE HAS BEEN MOVED TO A SPECIALIST
REHABILITATION UNIT AT THE ROYAL NATIONAL ORTHOPAEDIC HOSPITAL IN
STANMORE, MIDDLESEX. UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE EXTENT OF HIS
INJURIES, NEITHER OLIVER NOR HIS FAMILY WILL EVER LEAD NORMAL LIVES
AGAIN. OLIVER’S SPINAL CORD WAS PARTIALLY SEVERED IN THE ATTACK,
LEAVING HIM PARALYSED, WITH MINIMAL MOVEMENT BELOW HIS NECK. HE
WILL NEVER WALK AGAIN, AND WILL REQUIRE CONSTANT MEDICAL
ATTENTION FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.
WE ARE DETERMINED TO SALVAGE SOMETHING POSITIVE FROM OLI'S TRAGIC
STORY BY FOCUSING ON EVERYTHING THAT OLIVER LOVES IN LIFE.
AS A RESULT, ART AGAINST KNIVES HAS BEEN CREATED….
THE AIM OF THE TWO-DAY EVENT IS TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT WHAT
HAS HAPPENED IN THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS TO RAISE
MONEY TO PROVIDE OLIVER WITH EVERYTHING HE WILL NEED IN THE FUTURE.
