ImageThis year, the year of the spectacular at Bestival, on the Isle of Wight was the usual mix of exceptional music, great experiences, new friends and of course the amazing show of fancy dress!  Everywhere we looked, from the moment we arrived, the campsites, main stage and dance tents were full of glitter, sparkle and space themed spectacular outfits!  The GYC was covering the festival all weekend and we made sure we joined in with the fancy dress theme!

Ellipse The New Album from Imogen Heap PDF Print E-mail
Features - Arts Reviews
imogen heap album coverImogen Heap’s latest album, Ellipse is set to be the final, deserved breakthrough for an artist who has spent her career to date building and responding to a large fan base through social networking sites.  Heap’s music consistently delivers in terms of soaring vocals and carefully orchestrated yet beautifully eloquent arrangements and Ellipse is the natural successor to her previous albums.  Furthermore, through collaborating with, amongst others, theatre makers Frantic Assembly in the UK, Heap has managed to connect her music with readily available youth and mainstream culture.  Hailed as the original queen of the download, Heap now moves closer to the recognition she deserves with an album consistently full of emotive tracks that never dwell on whim.  Rather, these tracks suggest a careful, determined focus on pushing an individual style which does Heap’s observations of the world around her justice.
