so,
what is artful i hear you ask...
Artful is a friendly celebration in a
collection of cool music/art places. High quality fresh entertainment, DIY
chic and exciting ambition - with some events creating more while they are
happening. Basically a good excuse to play, party and make new friends,
for a whole month - unique celebration of unity in diversity.
earwax meets
artful...
At earwax we have been
involved with Artful since its inception in 2005, in fact the first artful
inspired us to experiment with the idea of putting our little radio show
online. So we recorded a show
in the DJ Box at the Amersham Arms playing some of our favourite bands who
were playing at Artful that month including Good Shoes, The Gemma Ray
Ritual Band, Luxembourg, William, The Violets and many more.

was recorded at the Amersham and the Windmill in Brixton featuring
interviews with Villette, Crack Village, Korova, Seeing Scarlet and Empty
Vessels, you can hear the show here:
