Hello there, I’m Laurence, one of the brand new presenters on New Wave. Tomorrow will be our (myself and Jake’s) first show, we’ve got loads lined up for your listening pleasure! We will have an interview with Gizmo Animations, a review of the frequency festival and many, many more! Tune in from 4- 5 on Siren FM 107.3.
On this weeks New Wave show we speak to two second year art students from the University of Lincoln organising their very own unique art exhibition: Dik’shon-a-ri. The event, called ‘dictionary’ (spelt phonetically) takes places Tuesday 3rd May, displaying a variety of exhibits created to interact with the public with the main theme of ‘Language’. Pop down and take a look…it’s on the high street! The exhibition takes place between 11 -4 outside the House of Fraser, where the girls (along with other art students) will be showcasing a wide range of different work. For more info click the link to their official website; Dik’shon-a-ri. You can also find out more on their facebook and twitter pages. Good luck from all at the New Wave team!
This week on the New Wave New Stage, we have more of Lincoln’s fantastic indie/alternative scene, with up-and-coming band Voakes!
They came on the show this week and answered our “Either Ors”, and we heard their track “We Are The Number”, as well as explaining about their band name (named after an accountants! Now there’s a glamorous story for you!).
There are four fantastic tracks available for you to hear online through their various websites, and make sure you look out for them coming soon to a venue near you!
You can check out Voakes on Facebook, MySpace or their newly created YouTube:
Hello all, presenter Michael here (not to be confused with Mike from our alternate show).
First, I bring good news for fans of me, so good news to everyone in the world: As of the next show I’ll be back on-air, live, with the rest of the gang, which is fantastic. I hear that they were becoming emotionally distressed without my calming presence. I think they’re just needy.
Anyway, this blog post is about where Pip and I went on Sunday: We went to the Croft Street Community Centre to talk to the Neon Youth Theatre about their upcoming performance of ‘Wear What you Will’ – a modern take on Shakespeare’s hilarious play, Twelfth Night. I studied the Shakespeare piece for my A-Level English exams, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Neon Youth version is a completely original interpretation, written and performed by the theatre. From what we saw while we were there, it looked to be a very impressive undertaking, which is all the more reason to get down to the LPAC this week for the performances of the show!
While we were there, we also discussed how the group is in grave danger – funding cuts for cultural organisations are hitting theatre groups like this one very hard, but the group’s members are coming up with their own ways of keeping the performances going. They will be taking part in the Lincoln 10k run, and also doing a sponsored silence (if you heard the show, you’ll be amazed that they even considered this). This is community spirit at its finest, and I love it!
See you all in two weeks.
Michael
This week on the New Wave New Stage, we have Stacks; an “alt/garage/indie” band from Lincoln!
