Monk Jam 2

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011. Published in Art, Craft & Design, Cultural & Exhibitions by

Monk Jam is back and this time with a twist. Last year they held a day of street art, music and an indoor record fayre at Little Johnny Russell’s on Albert Road.
Monk Jam 2 – They have carefully selected for your pleasure 20 artists from near, far and of varying choices in artistic application.

Each artist will be given the same brief and 72 hours to create a bespoke piece of wall hung art no larger then A2. Once the deadline has passed all work will then go on display in the Like a Tea Tray in the Sky gallery on Osbourne Road, Southsea. The public will then be able to cast their vote for their favourite piece.

The show will run from the 6th till the 11th of December and all votes will be counted and the winning artist will receive a special prize.

Throughout the week raffle tickets will be on sale for all the pieces will be up for grabs, perfect timing for you to win a special one of a kind xmas present for loved ones. The first 20 raffle tickets sold will also receive a limited addition hand pulled silk screen print of the event poster, so get in quick to get yours.

This is going to be a ‘not to be missed’ event. Check out their Facebook to keep in the loop.

The 2nd Strong Island Ale – Dry Dock No. 1

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012. Published in Features, Food & Drink, Strong Island by

As you may know each year we run a home brew competition in February where the winning brew has the opportunity to be brewed by Irving & Co Brewing Co. and sold around the city in the summer. Last year’s brew, the Strong Island Hopper Ale, was hugely successful being one of Inving’s best selling ales and selling out so quickly it went through a second brew run. This year’s winning ale is Dry Dock No. 1, originally brewed by Lee Immins, went on sale in some of Portsmouth and Southsea’s pubs over the weekend.

We spoke to The Hole in The Wall in Southsea who said the new ale went down a storm with it being their best seller on Sunday and with almost two barrels empty by the end of the Bank Holiday weekend. Those guys at the Hole in The Wall and their regular ale drinkers know their stuff so for us this was amazing early news with the ale.

To officially launch Dry Dock No. 1 we are having a launch party with the lovely souls at The Belle Isle on Thursday evening. The ale will be on full flow, come down and try a pint or two. As well as being on sale all around the city the ale will also be available in Chichester’s Belle Isle too, so you can drink it away from home for the first time too.

The Isle Of Wight Randonnee 2012 – Team Strong Island

Monday, May 7th, 2012. Published in Bikes & Cycling, Features by

Just over a year ago, a group of Strong Islanders were sat on the Isle of Wight ferry on our way to the yearly Randonnee cycling event; 60 miles around the island spread across 5 checkpoints. Whilst on the crossing we couldn’t help but admire various enthusiasts and their custom team jerseys. Fast forward a year and it is my great pleasure to unveil the Strong Island cycling jersey. Made as a one off for the event, the jersey is our way of representing this city and all the values that come with it. Thanks to the combined designing efforts of Chris Ballingall and Tristan Savage, we were able to produce this clean, retro looking jersey that 11 of Southsea’s finest could wear to conquer the island’s endless hills. Well done chaps.
