It Won't Run
Steam Punk
听
It's science fiction/science fantasy that blends technology and designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. At least, that's what Wikipedia tells us!
听
And the scene is growing to such an extent, we've already seen two Steam Punk festivals take place in our area this month.
听
Last weekend was the second-ever Raising Steam at Stoke Prior Sports & Country Club, in Bromsgrove, with two stages of live music in aid of New Futures Nepal.
听
Artists, during the three-day event, included BB Blackdog, Montague Jacques Fromage, Venus de Vilo, Feline & Strange, Ichabod Steam, The Wattingers, Victor & The Bully, Chasing The Dark, The Cogkneys, Miss Von Trapp, Gurdybird, The Retro Clones, Titi Von Tranz and LM Cooke.
Back to school with Ellie Goulding
听
Ellie Goulding shot to fame after appearing here on 主播大秀 Introducing and went on to win the Critics Choice award at the Brits.
听
These days she's a Grammy Award winner, writing songs for films and other stars, as well as her own hits.
听
But, this week, she spent time chatting to her old teachers at Lady Hawkins school in Kington - as well as advising Year 11 pupils as they prepare for exams.

Musicians' Masterclass
听
While many use microphones to get their voices heard, others put pen to paper.
听

听
- Joseph 'JP' Patterson - Senior Editor of Complex UK and Founder of TRENCH Magazine.
