MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY - STEVE SOMERSET AND NICK MARSH IN THE PRESS
The 100th anniversary issue of Word magazine has an article written by Steve Somerset (The Shadow Kabinet) about his time spent working for Medialab in the 80s - the red hot video production company set up by Godley and Creme from 10cc. They produced some of the most iconic (and most expensive) videos of the time for artists such as INXS, Thompson Twins and Fine Young Cannibals, but crashed and burned after only a couple of years when the money ran out. This article is one of the few behind the scenes accounts of what actually went on. Steve was also recently interviewed on BBC Radio Derby and you can listen to the interview here:

It will be awarded annually for five years from 2010-2014. The bursary (up to $500) is to help cover costs associated with attending the conference and participating in the OCFF youth program. The deadline for applications this year is June 17th. If you're in Canada and want to apply (must be 15-21 years old - other terms and conditions apply) or know someone who does then please have a look here:

FROM THE DEEP
New band From The Deep consisting of
Katharine Blake and Nick Marsh have been busy working on their first album. It's truly exciting stuff and you can expect plenty more news shortly. In the meantime you may be lucky enough to catch From The Deep live at Club
Bellissima, the Stoke Newington based performance club run by Katharine and Nick. The latest instalment on 2nd June also featured violinist
Paris Molyneux, new Mediaeval Baebe
Tanya Jackson solo and the incredible
Cesarians. Add
From The Deep and Club
Bellissima to your GoMojo favourites now to make sure you don't miss out on new gig dates. Have a look below at some photos of From The Deep's performance, which also included Matt Fisher (
Minty,
The Servant) on bass. Oh and by the way they couldn't find a drummer for the gig, so instead they fitted a tambourine to one of the tyres from their baby buggy and Nick operated this interesting contraption during the gig - check out the photo (Nick seems to have gone green)!
Love,
Casper - bringing the Mojo to your ears
