More than 500 activists gathered fair judicial system outside the National Assembly for the third week in a row after authorities jailed opposition leader and for- mer lawmaker Musallam Al-Barrak for insulting HH the Amir. The previous two gatherings were peaceful and passed off without police interference. But as a few dozen protesters marched towards par- liament yesterday, police used batons to beat activists, forcing them to disperse. Kuwait National Committee for Monitoring Violations, a private rights group, said on Twitter that several protesters were hurt and others were arrested. Rights activist Nawaf Al-Hendal said the protesters included women and former members of parliament. He said at least a dozen people were arrest- ed in the melee.

  • Tove Styrke Lägger Stora Comeback-Spelningen På Brännbollsyran 2015
    2014-12-03 09:00 CET Tove Styrke lägger stora comeback- spelningen på Brännbollsyran 2015 Tove Styrke lägger stora comeback-spelningen på Brännbollsyran 2015 Tove Styrke - Brännbollsyran 2015 - Videopresentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBc9kQMXAIw Citat: - ”Det blir en speciell spelning. Tove växte upp på Berghem i Umeå några hundra meter från festivalområdet och väljer nu att göra sin första spelning på över tre år i Sverige på Brännbollsyran. Pop-drottningens nya låtmaterial har börjat slå igenom utomlands och vi ser fram emot en riktig pop-fest av internationell klass." David Arkhult - Festivalgeneral, Brännbollsyran Efter tre års tystnad så är Tove Styrke tillbaka med besked. Nu står det klart att det kommande albumet släpps i mars och att hon lägger sin stora comeback-spelning på Brännbollsyran 2015. Det blir den första spelning i Sverige på över tre år och turnépremiär för hennes Skandinavienturné. Tove Styrkes debutalbum resulterade i en makalös succé. Det självbetitlade debutalbum som släpptes 2010 sålde platina och dess singlar var bland de tio mest spelade på P3 både 2010 och 2011. År 2011 tog Tove hem priset för ”Årets Nykomling” i P3 Guld och nominerades även samma år för Rockbjörnen i kategorierna "Årets kvinnliga liveartist" och "Årets nykomling”. Nya EP:n ”Borderline” (http://Bit.ly/Borderline-EP) som släpptes i november visar prov på Tove Styrkes nya personliga, kompromisslösa och moderna popsound. Singeln "Borderline" har slagit igenom rejält både nationellt och internationellt. I Sverige har den redan miljontals plays på Spotify och utomlands har den mottagits med lysande kritik. En av världens största och mest kända bloggare Perez Hilton hyllade singeln som "cool & edgy pop" (http://perezhilton.com/2014-11-19-tove-styrke-borderline#ixzz3JcmAF2SB).

It is the result of my own independent research except where otherwise stated.” Name: Victoria Curran Signed: ii Abstract This research study was carried out in order to explore the different methods of marketing that Green Man Festival utilises, to discover how successful they are, and whether they have changed and developed throughout the years.

  • Brother Leo Bio Where Does Ola End and Brother Leo Begin? “It's A
    Brother Leo Bio Where does Ola end and Brother Leo begin? “It's a question that's been rattling around in the constantly whirring mind of the Grammy nominated Swedish artist for a while, and like all good pop mysteries, may never be solved. “Brother Leo means freedom. The name comes from a reoccurring dream I had as a kid. In the dream I had a twin brother, he was a free spirit, brave, confident and always had the answers to everything. He had superpowers and his name was Leo”. A highly respected songwriter and producer in his own right, Ola Svensson has been reborn, ready to take on the world with an impressive array of songs and emotions, as Brother Leo. “The whole idea behind creating the alias was to provide an honest and creative place that forced me outside of my comfort zone. As Brother Leo I’m able to challenge and push myself as a artist and songwriter. In a way, I can be more me”. Fuelled by his winding musical journey so far, and spurred on to dig deeper into his creative expression, Ola, channelling Brother Leo, has crafted a suite of songs that are unafraid to alchemise his emotions and experiences into bold, unabashed pop anthems. These are songs for the masses, communicating universal emotions. Be they playful like the sleek ode to love, Naked, or be they heartbreaking like the redemptive hymn, Hallelujah, or the zeitgeist critical new single, Strangers on an Island; a gold-plated banger produced by British dance music legend Fatboy Slim.

  • R on the Application of the Friends of Finsbury Park -V- Haringey London Borough Council and Others Summary
    Press Summary R (Friends of Finsbury Park) v Haringey London Borough Council [2017] EWCA Civ 1831 (16 November 2017) (on appeal from the Order of Mr Justice Supperstone in the Planning Court [2016] EWHC 1454 (Admin)) Judges: Lord Justices Treacy, Hickinbottom and Singh Background This appeal concerns the powers of London boroughs to hire out public parks for music festivals. It does not concern Royal Parks. The Wireless Festival is an annual music festival held in Finsbury Park. The Friends of Finsbury Park sought to challenge the decision of Haringey London Borough Council (who are responsible for the Park) to hire part of the Park to Festival Republic, the company which organised the festival in 2016. This decision involved closing approximately a quarter of the park for just over two weeks. The Friends challenged the decision by way of judicial review, which was heard by Mr Justice Supperstone on 9 June 2016. He refused the substantive claim in a judgment on 22 June 2016, shortly before the relevant part of the Park was closed to prepare for Wireless Festival on 30 June 2016. The Festival went ahead; but the Friends were granted permission to appeal to resolve the issue for future festivals. The companies which run the Wireless Festival appeared as Interested Parties at the appeal, and the Open Spaces Society appeared as an Intervener. Arguments The Friends, with the support of the Open Spaces Society, submitted that the Council did not have the power to enclose such a large portion of the Park for such a long time and exclude members of the public who had not purchased tickets.

  • Wireless Festival: Finsbury Park: July 2016 – Application No: ‘Hgy02419’
    RESPONSE TO THE GENERAL CONSULTATION FOR APPLICATION - WIRELESS FESTIVAL: FINSBURY PARK: JULY 2016 – APPLICATION NO: ‘HGY02419’ The Friends of Finsbury Park is a charity that was formed in 1986 by people who care about Finsbury Park – its past, present and future. We support the use of Finsbury Park for the benefit of all local residents and park users, with events organised that are accessible to all who want to use the Park. We do not support the use of the Park for major events such as Wireless Festival which are simply too big, too noisy, unmanageable, unsafe and prevent local people and residents from enjoying the park. The Friends of Finsbury Park (FoFP) object to this application on the following grounds: Lack of Information: We believe that the information supplied on the event application is wholly inadequate and does not allow us to make an informed and meaningful response. Our request to see crucial information such as a Risk Assessment, Noise Management Plan, Green policy, Event Management Plan and a site map of the event has been refused, and detail about the vaunted community event is non-existent. We are not reassured by the promises given to improve control and management of the 2016 events. Such reassurances ring hollow as similar undertakings were given last year and then broken. Movement of heavy vehicles was neither effectively monitored or observed. Speeding heavy vehicles on the carriageway were regularly unaccompanied by buggies, particularly in the final days when Live Nation were ‘racing’ to leave site on time and avoid the incurrence of ‘overstaying’ charges.
