On Sunday 14th August I went to go and see Fearne and test out sketching to their music. This fabulous band from Bournemouth, will headlining The Artathon as part of my exhibition The Monochronium in Lighthouse Poole on the 26th October 2011. They will be playing as a backdrop of inspriation to myself and a number of collaborating artists through the night as I work on the challenge of non-stop art for 36hours.Winners of the 2011 Dorset Music Awards, Fearne have appeared at Larmer Tree Festival, Beach Break Live and have toured with Athlete, Feeder, Nizlopi and many more but what makes Fearne unique is the natural ability to make even the most extravagant pop song feel intimate. Principal songwriter Alex performs with his audience in his palm and his heart on his sleeve and is perfectly complimented by the multi instrumentalists Nick, Adam and Darren.
Heavily tipped for big things by BBC Introducing Sussex as a "Folk/Pop band with a moral compass". Just look out for the band with the lucky gold cat ...
So as you can imagine, I am really looking forward to these guys' music feeding inspiration into my artwork and forming a core interest to the diverse line up for The Monochronium Exhibition.
Lighthouse Poole 22-29 October 2011
