Ink This @ The Depot

As some of you may have seen, there was an amazing exhibition held at the LCB Depot by the guys at Ink This, based around the alphabet. 40 individually handcrafted letterforms designed and illustrated by 40 top artists were launched in style with our very own Tanda providing the beats. It was a fantastic exhibition and provided inspiration to all the business residents of the Depot.

Artist participants included Rinzen, the famous Australian collective, OneSideZero, who has been involved since the beginning and designed the flyers, Jamie Cullen, featured in Design Week, and Duster 132, amazing robotic suit illustrator.

Leicester: Britain's Most Musical City?

The Arts Council England has launched an online public vote to try and decide which City is Britain's most musical. Now, I don't mean to be biased but you are all going to vote for Leicester aren't you? ;)

Englebert Humperdinck the musical legend is presenting the case for Leicester, and he highlights some very good artists and musicians that are proud to call Leicester their home. This includes Kasabian, The Young Knives, Mark 'The Mac' Morrison (who went on to become part of Def Row with Snoop Dogg and 2Pac), Cornershop, and of course who can forget Showaddywaddy.

Now all this musical talent is more than enough incentive to click this link and vote away for Leicester, but just in case it isn't there's a load of other musical talent like our very own Tanda and James Kelly. On the classical side there are numerous choirs such as gospel, school, cathedral and church and the classical music scene has been growing recently.

So get clicking and vote for Leicester!
