the boy i used to be.
One year since his first gig, 16 year old Edward Perry has played Southsea Fest, Southsea Bandstand and many a venue in Portsmouth and beyond. He recently won Best Solo Artist at the Portsmouth News Guide Awards and will round off a lovely 2009 at the Edge Of The Wedge. Facebook.
“We really like his music a lot because it feels like the closest idea of what love is like.” – Chut Up and Eat Your Shreddies Blog.
Beau Brummel
Beau teases with the sort of melodies that made us fall in love with Simon & Garfunkel and the same way with words that has kept John Cooper Clarke among the celebrated masses. Recent appearances on Express FM and at many Portsmouth venues has created well deserved interest at a place where it is due. Facebook.
Matt Palmer
Local indie acoustic popper who you may have seen among your musical travels in the city. His band Dirty Legion are almost ready to wreck abit more havoc in Portsmouth, so enjoy his mellow side whilst it
lasts.
This is a nice little offering for a chilled out Saturday afternoon. Pop along to The Edge Of The Wedge from 3-7pm every Saturday to hang with some cool cats and listen to some smooth Jazz grooves courtesy of The Santos Jazz Collective. Nice.

The Hit-Ups are fast becoming an essential part of Bristol’s live music scene. Watching the lead singer Josh jump around and guitarist Charlie’s constant dancing gives the performance its trademark energy. If you want a good night out and music that compels you to dance and have fun there is no other band to go and see!” (Suit Your Self Magazine)

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.
