A Poetic Review
By Greta Bellamacina

‘In The Woods’ festival is an enchanting one-day festival, but actually it is a truly one-off festival.  So intriguing is it, it makes for a paradise of slanting trees and whispering lights.  Origami and simmering voices ink the beautiful pathways and wood-laced coves of the British countryside.  It captures a magical trance.  Fates written on paper wishing trees, a tapestry woodland where poetry and spoken word stages are hushed into tombs of timeless thought. The band highlights include, Fiction, AlunaGeorge and Alt-J. Music. Dancing fabricates the lingering brambled night, as the last beats of summer seduce the first moments of September.  Just as the night floats by, a bonfire is lit to luminous flames, emanating glittering luminous lunacies to the new season.

Joe Fox Interview
By Greta Bellamacina

Young Hearts are a London based band. Joe Fox is the lead singer, Hugo plays the base, Christian plays lead guitarist/vocals and Jasper plays the drums. The Young Hearts can safely be described as young at heart as well as hearts to the young-boisterous in their articulation and adventure.  Joe Fox’s voice is a slow blend between Ray Davies and John Lennon.  Joe captures a daring intimacy with lyrics and sound. Pete Docherty noticed Joe’s ash like magic and they ended up collaborating, causing electric chaos on the London gig scene.  He described his favourite complement is when ‘people detach lyrics from his songs… a Japanese girl came up to me last week after a gig and shared the same feeling for the song line… regardless of the barriers between languages and worlds- which is quite amazing’.  Joe has confided in me the mirrored negative and positive aspect about being in a band.  He explained that it is such a capricious career, that you have to love it to do it and be prepared to create, regardless of failure or fame.  Young Hearts are inspired by bands such as Radio Head, Rolling Stones and Nirvana.  Their debut single, will be out at the end of this year entitled: Isolation.  For further information you can go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Younghearts.   You can also catch the Young Hearts perform at the Oxfam Festival on the 25th September, 2012.

Minds Black and White

Minds Black and White from Twenty8Twelve on Vimeo.

“An expression of words reeling the fantasy of poetry. An innocent portrayal of two parts, playing with unknowing pretences and positions.  A progression of intimacy, where the mood reflects a collision that is only ‘accidental when realised’, illustrated when their hands touch.  And the reality creeps into their playful state, withdrawing them back to the social norm of silence”. – Chloe Primrose Pemberton. 

“Interludes between two minds, black and white, passing between notes in moments of chance.” – Greta Bellamacina
