Camden town’s Spaghetti Western Songstress Sarah Vista
and her posse of outlaws arrive in a blood-soaked blaze of bullets,
armed with a unique sound inspired by the great western movie
soundtracks and dark country classics.
With a series of live bookings already under her gun belt
(Nashville, Sweden, Germany, Spain) and a number of original
compositions already selected for forthcoming movie soundtracks, Miss
Vista and her gang are ones to watch..
Revenge is red hot and blonde, and heading for a town called
mediocrity, to wish them hell!
START, or Somers Town and St Pancras Art, has brought an
annual street arts festival to this area of London for over 19
years. Fittingly, Somers Town has a pioneering history of arts
and community being seen as important as housing: ‘housing
is not enough’ meant providing community centres and sculpture as
well as new homes after the 1920s slum clearance.
Today’s hugely popular START grew out of a first festival of
cultures in 1997, begun to try to bring harmony to the disparate
cultures in Somers Town, after racial tensions and a murder of young
Richard Everitt. Former festivals featured acts as diverse as Alexis Sayle,
Les Dennis from Family Fortunes, performances by the gurkas, Tibetan
monks, and the British TaeKwando team, as well as local bands such as
the Mighty Caretakers, and Oh!Gunquit, activities like first aid
displays, filmmaking, history exhibitions, art workshops, and the
ever popular Funfair.
