What are you doing Saturday 5th December? If you’ve got a blank space in you diary then perhaps we could entice you along to a wicked little one off tear up that is being hosted at the Fat Fox in our beloved Southsea village to raise some festive funds for the uber worthy and equally uber brilliant Cancer Research UK. Pencil it it in now.

Hearts Of Oak (performing LIVE), Kry Wolf, Handsome Dave Rocker, Mr Bevis (Southsea’s Beat Box supremo), Gentle Bren, Tombola, Agi al, Sager and as if that weren’t enough to pull you away from X Factor… COR’s Very Own Mark Persaud & Rosko Siffredi will be playing.
No mirrors and smoke with Hearts of Oak. Get yourself down to EQ for LIVE music by the awesome Hearts of Oak and support from Hall of Mirrors and The Scandal and a special experimental Hip Hop set from The Weir all surround by the usual Pet Sounds mob. Lovely stuff. TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW

Last Saturday Hearts of Oak played their debut showcase with a 10-piece outfit fronted by ex-members of Bluesky Research at the Wedgewood Rooms. Short and sweet, it was truly awesome. There was a really good turn out considering a lot of people were away at Dave’s stag do and the rest were at the COR Gettano event at The Loft. Keep your eyes and ears on Hearts of Oak. Hats off to Charlie and John and we all look forward to more.
We have some great news about our PRIMARY phonography exhibition (find out all the details here) that we can now announce:
- The deadline for submissions has now been extended to Sunday 4th March. We have had some incredible submissions but want to set aside more time to make the exhibition something really special.
- The competition is now open to up to 10 submissions from each individual. With the ability to capture many photos on your phone over the next two months we we want you to not feel restricted to just three. The same rules apply about the photos conforming to compositions using the primary colours though. If you have already submitted feel free to send more photos over as and when you please.
- The exhibition will be hosted by Albert Road’s own Bonzo Studio who are also partnering up with us in the creation of the exhibition space. More news on this soon!
- Finally, we will be running a competition as part of the exhibition where the best three photos submitted will win some incredible prizes. We will be announcing the prizes available very soon but got to say, these will be the best prize haul we have ever offered.
- We will be putting together a poster for the exhibition that will be on sale on the opening night. The poster will feature some of the best submissions and all profits from the sales will go to a local charity (details to follow soon). Due to this we need to say that any photos submitted to PRIMARY will involve you giving us permission to use them for commercial purposes, if you do not want your photo used in this way simply let us know via email.
Well, that is it for now! We really hope to drum up as much coverage locally for PRIMARY in the next couple of months so if you could Facebook/Tweet/+1 about the exhibition we would really appreciate it. We would love this exhibition to be a real reflection of the whole population of Portsmouth with everyone taking part and feeling involved.
Righto chaps, it’s time to clean shave your boat race and get that mighty moustache on the grow in support of Movember for The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. For 30 days of November you can help support and raise awareness through selflessly parading your top lip for charity.
You can sign up yourself, as I’m sure many of you already have, or you can join the Strong Island team and seek out sponsorship as a team. Through the Strong Island Movember page you can ask people to join the group, make donations, upload photos and post updates via the MoSpace page, Facebook and Twitter.
Head over to www.mobro.co/StrongIsland if you would like to get involved and grow a Strong Moustache to help raise awareness, or simply head over to www.uk.movember.com and sign up to personally raise money.
The funds raised in the UK support the number one and two male specific cancers – prostate and testicular cancer. The funds raised are directed to programmes run directly by Movember and our men’s health partners, The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. Together, these channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programmes in line with our strategic goals in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.
