FIRST WORD July Wolves/Staffs Only.qxp_Layout 1 22/06/2016 17:01 Page 1 First Word Midlands music industry on the up... A new report has revealed that the total spend generated by music tourism in the West Midlands last year was £271million - a £7million increase on 2014. The 2016 edition of the Wish You Were Here report, created on behalf of UK Music and its members, also revealed that there was significant growth in the amount spent directly by music tourists in the region, with an 82% increase year on year - the equivalent of £50million. The spend can be attributed to a range of purchases, including tickets, mer- chandise, accommodation, food and drink. Commenting on the report, Emma Gray, Director of Marketing and Communications at Visit Birmingham, said: "The city’s diverse array of festivals combined with world - class venues have created the perfect breeding ground to nurture and promote musical ingenuity.

  • Levellers I Toppform Till København I Oktober
    2012-08-21 15:30 CEST Levellers i toppform till København i oktober Danmarks-aktuella the Levellers har haft en hektisk sommar med albumrelease och festivalspelningar. Recensionerna både vad det gäller skivan och konserter har varit överväldigande och lovar en live-upplevelse utöver det vanliga när bandet den 27 oktober kommer till VEGA i København. Brittisk press skriver bland annat att sångaren Mark Chadwick är bättre än någonsin, energin på topp och att bandet levererar en set-lista som är "absolute classic". Folk/rock-bandet Levellers från Brighton uppnådde närmast ikon-status under 90-talet och när bandet nu närmar sig sitt 25-årsjubileum gör de det med glöden och orginalmedlemmarna i behåll. Den 29 juni släppte de ett album som hyllats som något av det bästa bandet gjort. Tidningen Classic Rock ger skivan 8 av 10 möjliga och skriver bla att detta är albumet dom tystar kritikerna och belönar de trogna fansen. Albumet ”Static on the airwaves” skildrar en kontinent i kris. - Politikerna och bankerna har dumpat bördan på de som ligger underst i högen, säger Mark Chadwick. Nu betalar de priset för förödelsen som andra orsakat. På 90-talet var The Levellers ett av de verkligt stora bandet och många minns nog deras bejublade framträdanden då de var huvudakter på såväl Hultsfreds som Roskilde vid ett flertal tillfällen. 2011 belönades de på BBC Radio 2 ”Folk award” med motiveringen ”bara de starka överlever och The Levellers har gjort det genom att vara trogna sina rötter”, ett påstående som bekräftas med råge på det nya albumet. Recensionerna av nya skivan ”Static on the Airwawes” vittnar om en skiva som är bland bandets bästa någonsin, om inte den bästa, som kombinerar utveckling och mognad med en återgång till de musikaliska rötterna och ett lika glödande politiskt budskap som någonsin.

By the end of the week between 20 and 30 people were reportedly laboring the entire day at digging. It was said that they intended to plow up the ground and sow it with seed corn. Furthermore, they apparently threatened to pull down and level all park pales and “lay all open,” thereby evoking fears of an anti-enclosure riot (a familiar form Journal for the Study of Radicalism, Vol. 2, No. 2, 2008, pp. 1–25. issn 1930-1189. © Michigan State University. 1 2 Ariel Hessayon of agrarian protest).3 Th e acknowledged leaders of these “new Levellers” or “diggers” were William Everard (1602?–fl.1651) and Gerrard Winstanley (1609–76).
