Free Range are the busy people behind eight weeks worth of graduate art shows. Using the huge spaces available at the Truman Brewery they help students showcase their art, photography, fashion and interior design through weekly shows. The work is for sale and you can visit it for free every weekend for the next seven weeks. Melanie caught up with Claudine, one of the organisers:

Hashtag: #SummerSizz

June 8th has been earmarked for two international awareness days: Unfuck The World Day (http://www.utwnow.com/unfuck-the-world-day/) and World Oceans Day (http://worldoceansday.org/ ). The Summer Sizzler has been strategically put in place to support these great initiatives.

Our Supported Charity: The Ocean Project

https://www.facebook.com/TheTalks

“There aren’t many bands that are good enough to catch the attention of members of The Specials, but then there aren’t many bands like The Talks. Proving that hard work, persistence and a pocket full of irresistibly catchy tunes can pay dividends” – Music Radar

http://www.icFilter.com/Music/CountingCoins
http://www.facebook.com/CountingCoins

“Take The Ride pays more than passing homage to the angry, politicised Ska, Punk and New Wave of the late 70′s – energetic, ferocious and fizzing with unpredictability. I love it!” – Katy Noone – Producer – BBC Introducing

The Gene Dudley Group

The Gene Dudley Group represents an outpouring of deep soul and funk music from obscenely talented 27 year-old multi-instrumentalist residing in North London, Gene Dudley.This one-man band records in Gene’s bedroom studio. All his recordings feature him on an incredibly diverse range of instruments including trumpet, saxophone, drums, bass, guitar and piano as well as on homemade electronics and pedals.

Fans of labels like Truth & Soul and Daptone will relish these sonorous soulful offerings, and will no doubt be hotly anticipating the debut long-player, due for release this summer on Wah Wah 45s.In the live arena, rather than trying to play all the instruments himself, Gene deploys a quartet of top notch young musicians to help him out (whilst Gene mixes it up between bass and keys throughout the set) as witnessed at the recent Hot 8 Brass Band gig in London, The Gene Dudley Group’s debut live show.
