• Make Way for The Elephant Parade

    Updated: 2010-04-29 15:30:56
    In a few days, central London will be transformed into an urban jungle with 250 life-size baby elephants standing on street corners, parks and buildings around the capital. Each elephant is a unique creation by an artist, fashion designer, organisation or celebrity, including painter Mythili Thevendrampillai who was featured for London Art Spot at the end of [...]

  • London Street Art: Stik People and ROA’s Crane

    Updated: 2010-04-28 11:02:45
    Turn the corner from Brick Lane onto Hanbury street where one wall recently came to life with the giant image of mother and child and right next to that, you’ll find that Stik has been round there creating some new Stik people. Just above Stik’s pieces, a massive crane adorns the side wall next to an empty lot. This [...]

  • Turner Prize Reject

    Updated: 2010-04-27 10:42:36
    Here’s an interesting addition to the Flickr pool from trailerfullofpix. This mosaic work by Baroness Carrie von Reichardt was taken at The Treatment Rooms, Fairlawn Grove, Chiswick. Carrie and her soulmate Mr. Spunky have turned their house into a mural project, The Treatment Rooms, inspired by Carrie’s penpal friendship with Luis Ramirez, an inmate on death [...]

  • Cabbages & Frocks

    Updated: 2010-04-26 10:22:46
    Funny, after Friday’s entry about London being dog-friendly, that I should happen to stumble through Cabbages & Frocks on Saturday afternoon. Dogs galore. It was “Dog Day Afternoon” and it appeared I was just in time for “Doggy Aerobics Class” with the Good Boy Dog School. Needless to say, I high-tailed it outta there as [...]

  • London Art Spot: Anick Purmessur

    Updated: 2010-04-25 10:02:39
    A born and bred Londoner who completed her BA (hons) at Goldsmith’s College, Anick spent much of her life being inspired by London’s rain-washed buildings and riverside views. Her work also taps into her family’s connection to Mauritius and the childhood experiences in this country that left a lasting impression. Recently, Anick moved on to [...]

  • Dog-Lovers and Dog Toilets…

    Updated: 2010-04-23 21:31:33
    A few weeks ago, I received an email from Kathy in Toronto who is thinking about relocating to glorious London Town. Not without her two pooches though. She asked me if the capital is dog-friendly. Kathy says: “How dog friendly is London, really? We’re pretty spoiled here with the many off-leash parks, dog daycares, dog walkers, groomers, [...]

  • A Perfect Night for a Picnic

    Updated: 2010-04-23 09:21:34
    Armed with our cameras and M&S carry bags full of bread, olives, cheese, fruit, chocolate and drinks, D and I sat on the cool grass in Holland Park after work to play catch up in our busy lives. A beautiful Spring night and flowers in full bloom. Holland Park has to be one of the most serene escapes from central London, sprawling [...]

Navigation : Menu Home About me Music : Daniel Boys Posted by Pauly Labels : Audioboo life in London Music Thanks to a large volcanic ash cloud which stranded Johnnyfox in New York not that he minded by his tweets I was lucky to catch Daniel Boys at Pizza on the Park Thursday evening . Daniel has appeared in various shows including Avenue Q and has recently released an album So Close that has become very popular . All of this has given him the opportunity to showcase his talents and charm in the intimate space of Pizza on the Park . It was Daniel , a great band and an audience . An audience that appeared to be mostly very appreciative women . There must be something about his boyish charm ,

  • Dirty Beach Sand Sculptures

    Updated: 2010-04-22 09:01:34
    London doesn’t have a beach, you say? I bet the dirtybeach.tv guys building sand sculptures down on South Bank beg to differ. They certainly make good use of the little strip that shows itself when the tide washes out. There’s a whole team of sculptors creating makeshift sand TVs and dragons and faces, having bonfires or sitting [...]

  • Stephenson’s Rocket in Kensington Gardens

    Updated: 2010-04-18 03:11:20
    Glorious sunny day in London Town today. Wall-to-wall blue sky and warm sunshine. Not bad for mid-April! Took a stroll around Kensington Gardens. Very busy but a wonderful atmosphere with people enjoying the spring sunshine and a number of sunbathers with their tops off (sadly just blokes!). Very springlike with a lot of greenery showing. The [...]

Once you have seen them you can mark them off your list as never needing to see them . again First up was Il Turco in Italia at the Royal Opera . Here was a great cast let down by Rossini's over plotted and overlong opera . Still when the cast could sing and act it was hard to be annoyed and wish they would get on with it . Ildebrando d’Arcangelo as the prince and Aleksandra Kurzak as the errant wife made infidelity seem so glamorous too . nbsp I also wasn't so sure about the cardboard cutout set , but I did like the sleeping
