domingo 20 de julio de 2014 El FIB despide su XX aniversario En el último día del festival actúan M.I.A, a las 23.15 horas, y Paolo Nutini, a las 1.00 horas SARA CANO M // OROPESA Los fibers ya han podido disfrutar de casi toda esta edición, y es que solo faltan unas horas para que el 20º aniversario del FIB termine su jornada. Muchas canciones han sonado ya, pero todavía faltan por actuar artistas como Travis, M.I.A, y Paolo Nutini. Una despedida que sonará hasta las 7.30 horas. M.I.A es una rapera inglesa de ascendencia Tamil cingalés. Comenzó su carrera en el mundo del arte en 2000 como directora de cine y diseñadora, pero dos años después mostró su faceta musical. Es conocida por temas como Paper Pales y Bring The Noize. Travis es una banda escocesa de post-britpop. Está compuesta por Fran Healy, guitarra y voz; Dougie Payne, bajo, coros; Andy Dunlop, guitarra, banjo, coros; y Neil Primrose, batería, percusión. Estos grandes de la música han sido galardonados dos veces con el premio álbum del año en los Brit Awards. Han lanzado siete álbumes de estudios, su último Where You Stand en 2013. El sábado modificaba su horario con la caída de la cantante Charli XCX, pero no con la de Lily Allen. La artista después de cancelar su concierto en dos ediciones, por fin actuó en el FIB. Y lo hizo rodeada de miles de personas, que a las 23.15 horas se acercaron a verla. Lily Allen mostró a los fibers parte de su repertorio de Sheezus, su último disco de estudio.

The Rhythm of the Road Neil Primrose, Drummer with British Rock Band Travis, Finds His Rhythm in a Porsche 718 Cayman GTS
newsroom Scene and Passion Sep 27, 2019 The rhythm of the road Neil Primrose, drummer with British rock band Travis, finds his rhythm in a Porsche 718 Cayman GTS. Swollen black clouds hang heavily above a 718 Cayman GTS as it waits impatiently by a smooth stretch of tarmac. As beads of water dance their way down the glossy Crayon paintwork, sheep hunker down behind moss-covered walls in a scene that could have been ripped straight from the video for the hit Travis song: Why Does it Always Rain on Me? It’s a question the band’s drummer Neil Primrose must ask himself a lot, since he gave up the bright lights of the city and moved to the weather-beaten Yorkshire Dales, in the north of England. Although spring is in full swing, a biting wind whips through Primrose’s long damp hair but he’s more interested in the Cayman than the imminent downpour. Page 1 of 3 His fingers twitch as he opens the driver’s door and looks inside. Those same hands made Primrose famous in the late 90s, when Travis burst onto the music scene and began racking up hits on both sides of the Atlantic. At their peak, their multi-million-selling album The Man Who spent 11 weeks at No.1 in the UK album charts, earning them a fanbase across the globe and winning the foursome a string of awards, headline slots at Glastonbury and a US tour alongside Oasis. Twenty years on, the band members remain together, still recording music, still touring.

PRESSEMITTEILUNG 04.09.2013 Travis Bestätigen Clubshows In
FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 04.09.2013 Travis bestätigen Clubshows in Deutschland Travis waren in den vergangenen Monaten ziemlich viel unterwegs, um sich für ihr neues Album inspirieren zu lassen, Songs aufzunehmen und zu produzieren. Die Reisen führten die Band von London über New York und Berlin bis hin ins ländliche Norwegen, und vor allem führte sie die Mitglieder wieder zusammen. Vor fünf Jahren, als die Tour zur letzten Platte beendet war und sich das Quartett am Flughafen von einander verabschiedete, war allen unausgesprochen klar, dass jetzt eine längere Pause dringend nötig war. Das Leben als Star ist zwar schön, zehrt aber auch am eigenen. Oder wie Sänger Fran Healy scherzhaft sagt: „Irgendwann hat man genug davon, morgens aufzuwachen und immer die Socken Deines Kumpels zu riechen.“ So widmeten sich Healy, Gitarrist Andy Dunlop, Bassist Dougie Payne und Schlagzeuger Neil Primrose ihren Soloprojekten oder einfach nur ihren Familien. Aber eine Band wie Travis, die millionenfach Platten verkauft hat und mit ihren Platinalben wahrscheinlich ein mittelgroßes Cottage in Schottland tapezieren könnte, verschwindet nicht einfach. Denn die musikalische Kreativität der Jungs, „ohne die es Coldplay nie gegeben hätte“, wie Chris Martin einmal bekannte, lässt sich nicht von heute auf morgen abstellen. Und so trafen sich die vier und nahmen „Where You Stand“ auf, das siebte Studioalbum, das Mitte August auf den Markt gekommen ist. Die Platte entstand quasi auf Reisen: Von den ersten Songideen, die bei einer Session in London entwickelt wurden, bis hin zur finalen Produktion in den Hansa- Studios, wo schon Bowie seine Berlin-Trilogie aufgenommen hat.

This is done by looking at its origins and evolution from invasion literature and to a lesser extent detective literature up to the end of World War I. A main focus will be on the political arguments imbedded in the text, which mirrored those same debates in wider British society that took place before and during World War I. These debates and topics within the literature will be examined to see what influence, if any, they had on the creation of the intelligence service of MI5 and MI6 and how foreigners were perceived.

The aim is to evoke a world from which to mark the emergence of Mary Primrose, Scotland’s first female philosopher. 4 CONTENTS Chapter 1 God and the King: The Primrose Ancestry Whether or not we embrace our heritage, we are defined by it. This was no less true two hundred years ago than it is today. It was especially true for Mary Primrose, Scotland’s first female philosopher, who was born into the Scottish aristocracy in 1777. The Primrose family, like others of its class, was focussed on securing its social standing. To this end, family estates, heirlooms, fine furnishing, deeds of title, and the like were of great importance. Most telling of all, however, was the family portrait.

A Study of the Roles, Identities and Attitudes of the Scots Mps at Westminster, C.1754 - C.1784
Unprincipled Careerists or Enlightened Entrepreneurs? A study of the roles, identities and attitudes of the Scots MPs at Westminster, c.1754 - c.1784. Sheena Bedborough 2015 Abstract The Scots MPs of the eighteenth century have traditionally been portrayed in a negative light. In a century once noted for electoral corruption and the abuses of patronage, they were seen by contemporaries and later writers as among the worst examples of their kind: greedy, self- seeking, unprincipled ‘tools of administration’ whose votes could be bought with the offer of places and pensions. Lewis Namier’s seminal work exposing the cynical approach to politics of MPs generally, sparked a backlash which has produced a more balanced evaluation of English politics. Strangely, although Namier exonerated the Scots MPs from the worst of the charges against them, his less judgmental verdicts are found only sporadically in more recent writing, while the older viewpoint is still repeated by some historians. There is no modern study of the eighteenth-century Scots MPs, a situation which this research proposes to remedy, by examining the group of MPs who represented Scotland at Westminster between 1754 and 1784. It re-assesses the extent to which the original criticisms are merited, but also widens the scope by examining the contribution made by Scotland’s MPs, to British and Scottish political life in the later part of the eighteenth century. A study of the social make-up and the careers of this particular cohort provides the backdrop for the two main themes: the participation of Scots MPs in the legislative process, and their effectiveness as representatives of Scottish interests at Westminster.
