What a month!

The Seasiders project has taken the team to some of the most beautiful parts of the UK, meeting a whole host of fantastic artists, producers, arts teams, regeneration folk and many more... We're now back with feet firmly in London to develop ideas for a series of Seasider installations in 2010 and the festival in 2011 and beyond.

Check out the following link to see the project in NewStart Magazine:

The Bloomsbury Festival planning study was finished this month, with fascinating results! We're still on track for 2010, and are finalising our trustees for the Hidden Cities Charitable Trust to make this happen.

A few weekend's ago I visited the Spitalfields Show and Green Fair in East London, was so exciting to see the vegetable competitions, childhood memories of The Daffodil Show in my little home village in Cumbria came flooding back! Also went to SHOWstudio at Somerset House last Thursday, really fabulous interactive fashion exhibition.

We also have been very excited to see the fabulous musician, Paloma Faith EVERYWHERE! She appeared at the 2007 Bloomsbury Festival - what brilliant stage programming from curator Bobby Williams!

All in all, a hectic but brilliant month - and great to think that in just 12 months time, we will be in the final stages of the newly re-developed, Bloomsbury Festival...
