Future Yard 2019 – Birkenhead, The Wirral (23rd and 24th August)

Put together by the team behind Bido Lito! magazine, a local monthly which has been promoting arts and culture on Merseyside for the best part of a decade now, the stated aim of Future Yard was to put the much neglected Birkenhead back on the map by re-imagining venues and spaces around the city. Best known as a shipbuilding town prior to the decline of that industry during the second half of the 20th century, Birkenhead is often synonymous with crime and poverty in the minds of many. Frequently dismissed as living in the shadow of its world famous neighbour across the Mersey, it's a city with a rich history of its own. Besides containing an array listed buildings that includes the stunning 850-year-old Birkenhead Priory, it was also home to England's first street tramway system. In addition to this there's Birkenhead Park, the first in the world to be financed using public funds and a forerunner to the Parks Movement which inspired the likes of Central Park in New York and Sefton Park in Liverpool. Although based there Future Yard is not just about the host city, it's about the wider Wirral area of which Birkenhead is essentially the capital. Flanked in the south west by the River Dee, the oblong shaped peninsula also has historical and social connections with parts of North Wales. Featuring a diverse range of local talent performing alongside national and international artists, Future Yard couldn't have picked a better weekend on which to host its inaugural festival of "weird Wirral wonderment". FRIDAY Arriving at the Priory early on the Friday, it was a good opportunity catch a glimpse of PYLON. An installation created by Wirral-born electronic artist Forest Swords in collaboration with the Kazimer, it was housed in the refurbished Priory refectory. Comprised of a pylon with a series of programmed symbols running through the middle, they would be "activated" by artists such as Scalping, Luke Abbot and others across the weekend. Designed as a space for "improvisation, exploration and contemplation", the plylon was positioned in the centre of the room and encircled by pillows on which a number of early arrivals could be found enjoying its meditative sounds while waiting for Samurai Kip to kick off the festival with their blend of jazz, funk and soul.

It's never easy opening a festival, particularly a brand new one, but the local quartet put on a good performance for a small crowd. The setting couldn't be more perfect, with the rarely seen summer sun shining down over the Priory garden. There was a large naval ship docked behind the mobile bar selling cold cans of Future Yard pale ale which had been brewed exclusively for the festival by Black Lodge in the Baltic Triangle. It was difficult to leave the Priory garden but if you wanted to witness the West Kirby-born Bill Ryder-Jones perform an intimate piano set in the fifty capacity max Priory Chapel then there was little time to snooze on the grass. A queue began to form twenty-plus minutes before the set began, which in turn led to a fifteen minute delay so a speaker could be put outside. Revealing that he wasn't particularly in the mood, the former Coral man was in good form but some of the audience were a little slow to react to his jokes at first. Beginning by taking a few requests, Jones performed a heartfelt set playing the likes of 'John', the incredibly sad 'Daniel' about his deceased brother, as well as 'There Are Worse Things I Could Do'.

There's usually a point where a festival really kicks off and it was a performance in the Priory garden by The Intergalactic Republic of Kongo that really got Future Yard going after somewhat slow-ish start. With the audience hesitant to come too closer, IRoK vocalist and driving force Mike Title jumped over the railings and practically dragged everyone forward. Dealing in a mix of Afrofuturism and early 90's dance-rock, the highlight was when they called a young kid up on stage and let him take over vocal duties for one of the songs. The young lad enjoyed himself so much that you thought they might have had a job on their hands getting the microphone back off him.

Given the hype starting to grow around the London-based six-piece over the past year, you'd have thought Black Country, New Road would have attracted a larger audience than they did in the Priory garden. Some sound issues delayed things by about ten minutes but their performance was easily one of the best of the weekend. Their sound is an experimental blend of post-punk, noise rock, jazz and Balkan folk, which can perhaps best described as listening to Swans, Slint, Tortoise and King Crimson all at once, with a tense and fearful David Byrne-esque character on vocals. Cacophonous and incredibly gripping, the sax and violin really add to the dark tension they create. Keep your eye on this band. The Priory garden cleared out pretty quickly as the majority of people headed off to check out what was on at the Town Hall and the Bloom Building. However, it soon filled back up as new faces arrived to catch Australian singer-songwriter Stella Donnelly. Unsure whether to stick or twist, the kind offer of a beer from a fellow festival goer persuaded us to stick and we were very glad that we did.

Connected to the area via her Welsh mother, Stella Donnelly performed a few tracks solo before being joined by her bandmates. Having not been that impressed with her album Beware of the Dogs earlier in the year, she was brilliant live and put in perhaps the funniest show of the weekend. Sharp and very witty, the chemistry she has with her band was also great to witness. It was a pleasure to be proven wrong. After spending most of the day at the Priory it was about time to check out the Bloom Building properly. Conveniently only a minute down the road, it was quite packed down when we'd poked our heads in earlier on. Holding around a hundred-or-so max with extra space outside, the audience at the brightly coloured converted industrial unit tended to be younger on average than those in and around the Priory. Although this wasn't the case for experimental trio Szun Waves, with the crowd being a little older but also fairly sparse during parts of their fifty minute set. Made up of electronic producer Luke Abbott, Laurence Pike of PVT on drums and Jack Wyllie of Portico Quartet on sax, their psychedelic electronic jazz explorations were perhaps a little too experimental for most of those who popped their heads in and out at various times. Bill Ryder-Jones took to the stage in the Town Hall as the Friday night headline act and seemed a little wobbly after one too ales throughout the day. Despite this though it didn't prevent him and his band from putting in a great performance, with the shoegazey and slowcore blend of 'Satellites' being one of a number of standout tracks in their ninety minute set.

After recognising numerous family and friends dotted around in the audience, he joked about how it's nice that the locals don't have to get a taxi back across the river after watching live music for once. After a bit more piss taking he uttered "no divisions" with a wry smile. But it wasn't an inter-city rivalry which divided the room, it was the large numbers of people at the back insisting on chattering constantly throughout his performance, with Jones asking them to keep quiet numerous occasions. SATURDAY Day two began very early for some with a two hour bike tour. Titled 'Viking Wirral on Wheels' it was scheduled to depart the Priory gates at 10:30am. How many people made it we have no idea, but we spotted a group of about two dozen heading out on a walking tour just after 1pm led by a local historian. Preferring something a bit more relaxing, we sat back and watched some yoga in the Priory garden and had a look at the Saturday's offerings. Kicking off the second day of music at the Priory was a programme curated by Focus Wales, an annual festival held in Wrexham which showcases the finest in Welsh talent. Opening this was Flintshire-born melodic soundscape artist Meilir who hopped between an electronic piano, an acoustic guitar and a typewriter, with his most powerful instrument being his stunning vocals. In addition, the Focus Wales showcase included performances by Cardiff-based electronic pop artist Ani Glass (formerly of The Pipettes in which she performed with her sister of Gwenno Saunders), as well as electronic pop duo HMS Morris who were performing in Liverpool for only the second time.

Merging North Wales with Merseyside were seven-piece melancholic pop band Gintis, with members from both Abergele and Liverpool. Crowds were starting to pick up a bit by the time they performed just after 5pm and they certainly made the best of their time on stage on what was turning out to be a super hot day. Despite the sun shining down we headed inside to the Priory Chapel to witness one of the highlights of the festival where Lo Five got the Reformat showcase rolling. The Liverpool-born, Hoylake-based electronic artist put together a seamless set of melodic, ambient techno-inspired tunes that had us hypnotised. We could easily have listened to another couple more hours of that. Faced with a difficult choice, we went with Seatbelts down at the Town Hall over the highly rated Eyesore & the Jinx over at the Bloom Building. It was good to stretch our legs a bit after spending most of the day sat on the grass in the Priory garden. We certainly weren't the only ones who spent large parts of their weekend basking in the sun.

Assembled by Hooton Tennis Club songwriting duo James Madden and Ryan Murphy after they began writing tunes that were a little more experimental, their socially conscious songs are great fun live. Abi Woods on keys and vocals has been a great addition to this band, who with two solid EP's behind them are certainly one to keep an eye on. Rather than walk ten minutes to the other venues only we grabbed a pint and waited for Beija Flo to enter the stage. It's pretty difficult to pick one standout act from the weekend as there were multiple but she has to be in the conversation. Her performance had everything, featuring a bit of poetry, comedy, dance and activism in between some great music.

She puts so much of her personality into her art and had the full attention of everyone in the Town Hall, opening up at one point about her issues with MRKH Syndrome (a condition which causes the vagina and uterus to be underdeveloped or absent, affecting one in five thousand women). An incredibly original artist who has the potential to go very far indeed. Line-up clashes are virtually inevitable at one point or another, especially with line-ups as good as Future Yard. It was certainly the case on Saturday evening. Pixx, Polypores and SPQR are all great and we were gutted that we were forced to miss them, but we just couldn't miss the opportunity to see Nilüfer Yanya perform in the Priory garden..

With the sun gone for another day, the 23-year old West London-born artist put in a fantastic performance. Playing tracks from her critically acclaimed full-length debut Miss Universe, the BBC Sound of 2018 nominee closed the Priory stage with her sophisticated blend of art pop, indie rock, soul, R&B and jazz. The sax playing was just superb. With no other performances taking place during her Saturday night headline set, the entire festival headed over to the Town Hall to witness Anna Calvi. It didn't take very long to see why many were happy to pay for a ticket just to see the Mercury-nominated singer-songwriter. While her studio material is pretty good, live she is something else entirely. A force of nature.

Dressed in her customary red shirt, black trousers and white boots, the power and passion of her performance and the way she holds a room with her Gothic-inspired vocals was quite incredible. Unlike the previous night, there was very little chattering during her ninety minute set which ended with a superb cover 'Ghost Rider' by Suicide. Whether or not "The Future is Birkenhead", as the volunteer staff t-shirts said, only time will tell. Despite ticket sales perhaps not being quite as high as many would have hoped, the inaugural Future Yard was undoubtedly a huge success. Not one person we spoke to came away with anything other than love for this most intimate of festivals. Read the full article

It is True We're Most likely All a Little Irish--Particularly within the Caribbean

In america, it is St. Patrick's Day. This Irish nationwide vacation celebrates Saint Patrick who is--potentially--the most recognizable of Irish saints, recognized for championing Irish Christianity (and utilizing a shamrock to elucidate the Holy Trinity). The observance of St. Patrick's Day has additionally been seen as a someday break from the abstinence of the Lenten season. Whereas it nonetheless has spiritual undertones, for a overwhelming majority of individuals, it is a day for merry-making--jovial gatherings and free-flowing alcohol are traits of celebrations in america. Everyone seems to be supposedly a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day however there may be extra reality to this saying than most acknowledge. It is not merely a loophole permitting for the uninhibited consumption of Guinness. The Irish have traveled to all corners of the world, and like different immigrant teams, wherever they've stayed they've left a mark. With its distinct tradition, individuals, and linguistic markers, the Caribbean is perhaps the final place you'd suppose to search for the Irish. However a lot in the identical approach the spirit of the Dutch is alive and nicely in New York Metropolis in road and place names, so too do the Irish have a presence in locations comparable to Montserrat, Jamaica, St. Kitts, and elsewhere all through the British Caribbean. In Jamaica alone one will discover Irish City and Dublin Fortress in St. Andrew, Clonmel and Kildare in St. Mary, and Belfast and Middleton in St. Thomas. To not point out the excess of Irish final names together with Collins, Murphy, Madden, Mulling, McCarthy and McDonnough. How did the Irish wind up within the Caribbean, so removed from their emerald island? The surnames above could not carry the status of a New York Astor or a Schermerhorn, however they inform of a historical past that's no much less essential. Following the army campaigns led by Oliver Cromwell from 1649-1653, Eire discovered itself firmly within the administrative fingers of the English. The British colonization of the island caused nice cultural and financial change for Irish property-owners, a lot of whom suffered nice monetary losses following the battle. The Rump Parliament that was in energy on the time handed the Act for the Settlement of Eire 1652. This act punished contributors within the Irish Riot be demanding that they offer up their lands. Rebels--active fighters and dissidents--were seen as a menace, and an undetermined quantity have been deported as indentured laborers to the West Indies to work on sugar plantations. This apply of deportation would persist as a result of interpretation of an edict from James I in 1603 that allowed for the deportation of "rogues, vagabonds, idle, and dissolute persons." However others who had misplaced their property or standing additionally left for the Caribbean, they usually typically arrived as bonded laborers. The phrases of those contracts ranged from 4 to seven years. And plainly the hardships these Irish vacationers sought to flee continued to plague them. By the hands of the plantation homeowners, slaves and indentured servants alike may count on the identical remedy. This may have been a very tough state of affairs for Irish Catholics working below English Protestant land-owners, because the latter seen themselves as culturally and religiously superior. Analysis means that because the African slave inhabitants grew, the Irish have been capable of transfer into higher positions of energy and political influence--once their labor time period had been satisfied--by taking part within the army protection of the islands. However many additionally went on to turn into retailers in their very own proper as nicely. Nonetheless, the Irish presence within the Caribbean had been firmly established. Whereas most European settlers on the islands confined themselves to a single island giving rise to the identifications we all know in the present day as Hispanic Caribbean, French Caribbean, and British Caribbean, the Irish appeared for alternatives and located houses wherever circumstances took them. They're discovered on virtually the entire Caribbean islands. The Caribbean is exclusive on this approach. Its position within the colonial energy wrestle has introduced collectively individuals from many various backgrounds, leading to a cultural mixing not actually seen elsewhere. In Trinidad, for instance, the mixture of Africans, Indians, Chinese language, and others has created blended cultural artifacts within the types of meals, festivals, music, faith, and clothes. Intermarriage between teams has strengthened these blended artifacts giving them a specific authority in these areas. Trinidadians, being enthusiastic rum connoisseurs have taken to Guinness, that fashionable Irish brew, and created their very own model of the Guinness Float (Guinness and ice cream): Guinness blended with carnation milk--I can vouch that it is actually fairly good. So in the midst of the parades and completely happy hours in the present day, should you can spare a second, take into consideration the methods we're all linked by way of histories and relationships that is probably not so obvious at first look. And go forward and benefit from the vacation nonetheless you select to mark it--after all, we're all a little bit Irish. And should you're concerned about studying extra in regards to the Irish Diaspora, there's an ideal checklist of assets you could try. I might additionally recommend--in the identify of social science--that is you may declare a connection to Eire, that you just register with the Irish Diaspora mission. Replace: An earlier model of this text referenced an unqualified supply that conflated the distinction between bonded laborers and slaves. The data taken from this supply has been eliminated, and a extra clear dialogue that highlights the nuances of this era has been instated.

COFFEE TALK [with Michael Kauffman]

“I’ve worked in music and technology during my career, largely in sales, marketing, and PR roles. I love to connect artists and companies with fans and customers -- and have been doing that in tech (YouTube on the marketing team and at Google via corporate communications), at start-ups like RightsFlow (a rights management and licensing company acquired by Google), and earlier in my career at labels and distribution companies like UMG, Verve, BMG, and Windham Hill.”

Q: What are a few of your favorite “industry moments?”

I loved spending time on the road with artists earlier in my career. While at Windham Hill in the mid-90’s, I joined Keola Beamer, Ledward Kaapana, and a few other Hawaiian slack key guitar icons on a series of dates up the eastern seaboard. It was one of the first times I spent a lot of time with a band who I had limited prior knowledge about. Pre-internet days. Not only did I fall in love with that music, but I got to introduce the band and crew to PA-breakfast-fave scrapple while eating at the Melrose Diner in Philadelphia. While at Verve, we arranged for the amazingly gifted vocalist Al Jarreau (RIP Al) to host the Music Biz Annual Conference Awards Dinner one year concurrent with his new release. Al arrived in San Antonio with a serious bout of the flu, and we didn’t know whether he’d be able to speak, let alone take the stage. But after a few hours of sweating it out, focused rest, home-brewed tea, and a mind-over-matter attitude, Al took the microphone and blew everyone away with his grace, wit, and charm.

I was fortunate during those years at Verve to work with a top-notch sales team (Tony Pellegrino, Jon Vanhala, Lisa Hopkins, Mark Callaghan, Jeff Lusis, Kim Smith, Missy Iredell), self-branded “The Jazz Pack”. We adopted a song-and-dance approach to many of our sales presentations and had a blast singing-while-selling our releases (I like to say that we were the last of the singin’ sales guys). Flashback to Los Angeles in 2001. The Universal Music and Video Distribution Conference was being held at the Century Plaza Hotel, and we were scheduled, along with all the other UMG labels, to present our upcoming releases to our friends at distribution. Instead of a generic video presentation, we opted to host an awards show called “The Tommy’s” (named for our beloved label Chairman Tommy LiPuma, industry icon, producer, and true music maker) packed with curated categories, spoof videos, and actual live performances highlighting our artists and releases.

The opening song-and-dance number involved us wearing Adidas tear-away track suits worn over tuxedos, doing a bit of choreographed dancing along with a backup crew consisting of the XFL’s LA Xtreme cheerleading squad. It culminated with Tommy himself being led through the curtains of the stage and down to his front-row seat amidst a rousing standing ovation (Tommy’s entrance is ~4:29 in this YouTube videohttps://youtu.be/Y09IwrNHO8Q). Furthermore, there was also an ice sculpture of Tommy, a raucous afterparty, the USC Fighting Trojan Marching Band performing "Tequila", balloons falling from the ceiling, and hundreds of customized Tommy bobbleheads that were presented to all in attendance. I vividly remember Tommy saying to me right before we stepped onto the stage: “Mikey! What's going on here babe?!” Most fun I ever had in a sales presentation. What a cool experience to work with that team and Tommy.

Another highlight happened at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City in early 2014: I spearheaded the music integration at our YouTube on Main Street pop-up experience. It was one of the more stressful planning periods I’ve endured — late nights, intense conversations, negotiations to book acts, and everything in between — but the effort was ultimately rewarded with goose-bump-inducing performances from Damon Albarn (“There’s no way we can fit a string quartet and a large keyboard on that small stage.”), Venus And The Moon (who asked me to rehearse with them in the parking garage), Carina Round, Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, Sleeping At Last, Matthew Perryman Jones and Kate Tucker (many artists via a Paste partnership — thanks Josh Jackson), and a few roof-raising late-nite DJ sets from Young Guru, Neon Indian, and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy -- who's agent phoned me on the day of his set to tell me he was stuck in Chicago due to snow. He arrived just in time to walk on the stage and start spinning records! It all came together and was magical. Plus so many other highlights: a post-dinner celebratory “toast” with Cheap Trick in Chicago, dinner in the Sinatra room at Patsy’s in NYC with Jamie Cullum, and of course live experiences like The Subdudes at Tipitina’s in New Orleans.

Q: If you were to make a playlist of the songs that are part of your DNA, the comfort food that you keep coming back to, that never fail to move and inspire you, what would those tracks be?

It would have to be a playlist of playlists… how many songs do I get?

Can I have 20 - 25? I love the Great American Songbook: Frank, Ella, Billie, Dean, Sammy, Tony, Dinah, along with Miles, Coltrane, Bird, Bill Evans, Ben Webster, Basie, and all the jazz masters. Here's a happy hour playlist assembled by Ken Druker, our head of catalog while I was at Verve. He curated this “Jazz Pack Supertunes” compilation for our crew back in the late 90’s: Frank Sinatra & Count Basie - Come Fly With Me Dean Martin - Ain't That A Kick In The Head Buddy Greco - Around The World Bobby Darin - More Sammy Davis, Jr. - Hey There Jack Jones - You'd Better Love Me Count Basie - All Of Me Frank Sinatra - That's Life Eartha Kitt - C'est Si Bon Tom Jones - It's Not Unusual Perez Prado - Mambo No. 8 Wayne Newton - Danke Shoen Bobby Darin - Hello Dolly Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme - This Could Be The Start Of Something Big Buddy Greco - She Loves Me Vic Damone - The Song Is You Al Martino - Speak Softly Love Nino Rota - The Godfather Waltz Dean Martin - Return To Me Johnny Mathis - Chances Are Sammy Davis Jr. - I've Gotta Be Me Frank Sinatra - The Way You Look Tonight Marilyn Monroe - Happy Birthday Mr. President (on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/michaeljoel/playlist/1mNOucMihzZ38hMLv2ptNB)

Q: Are there any artists that never really made it, that came across your desk, that you wish people could hear and embrace?

Action Figure Party comes immediately to mind (a group spearheaded by Greg Kirsten, founder of Geggy Tah, who over the past decade has become a Grammy-award winning producer of Sia, Beck, Kelly Clarkson, Ellie Goulding, Pink, the Shins, Tegan and Sara, Lily Allen), signed to Verve at the time by Bud Harner, our ultra-cool A&R rep. “Everybody Ready” now playing: https://youtu.be/Xud_KlHlqr0

Q: Who was your mentor? Why? Early in my career in advertising: Jim Coudal, the creative director at Weber, Cohn & Riley gave me a shot as a copywriter and helped me craft a voice for headlines and copy. Chris Balla and Bob Garbarini at BMG (now Sony) who provided the freedom and the guidelines to teach me how to think about music marketing. Pat Berry, my boss at Windham Hill (now running the Six Degrees label), who taught me pretty much everything I know about sales, much of it based on always framing decisions with what’s best for the artist. Also from the Windham Hill timeframe, Dave Morrell, who spearheaded AAA/non-comm promotion at our High Street imprint, is a dear friend and mentor who taught me how to love stories and to leave people with a smile. Dave has been releasing his memoirs — and they are a hoot! Horse-Doggin’: Volume 1 is available here: https://www.amazon.com/Horse-Doggin-Dave-Morrell-Archives-Vol-ebook/dp/B00IZLEFQ6/ref=la_B00LG1S4P0_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1491231314&sr=1-1 and 1974 - The Promotion Man - Volume 2 is here: https://www.amazon.com/1974-Promotion-York-Morrell-Archives-ebook/dp/B015YV11M0/ref=la_B00IZQHCE8_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1491231441&sr=1-3. Read up. Plus Bob Schneiders at UMVD taught me the ropes as for retail sales when I started at GRP, and also showed me the importance of connection via common passions solidified with personalized outreach. And the host of other sales and marketing execs who guided me through the years: Ben Kline, Pat Monaco, Bob Anderson, Tony Camardo, Linda Finke, Saul Shapiro, Mike Davis, Cliff O'Sullivan, Mark Flaherty, Marc Zimet, Anthony Ellis, Rob Santos, Nell Mulderry, (can't forget you) Jay Gilbert, the Jazz Pack (Jon, Tony, Lisa, Jeff, Mark)... it takes a village obviously.

Patrick Sullivan (CEO / Co-Founder at RightsFlow) mentored me through his leadership to win against the odds through smart-thinking and a tireless work effort, while Scott Sellwood (our Head of Biz Affairs at RightsFlow, and Publisher Relationships at YouTube) inspired me with his brain, musical abilities, and tenacious commitment to finding common sense solutions. And finally Tommy LiPuma, of course, our Chairman at GRP and Verve, who taught me how to pursue quality in music, art, wine and life. A legendary music leader, visionary and Hall of Fame human being with a legacy of music and joy rooted in the artists, colleagues, employees and millions of ears and hearts that he inspired. A few of use traveled to Cleveland last year to celebrate his 80th. So glad we did. It was a night of stellar performances: Diana Krall, Dr. John, Al Jarreau, Leon Russell (RIP)… followed by the afterparty back at the Ritz-Carlton, drinking amazing wine while listening and laughing into the wee small hours to the many, many stories filling the room. Music biz stories for the ages. Tommy stories. So fortunate and thankful. Smart, passionate, creative mentors who rocked my world.

Q: What’s the best part of your job? Helping and listening (to people and to music). Anytime I can generate a creative conversation with an artist, a company or a colleague, and help them think about their audience and how best to share + super-serve + connect, it’s a good day.

That, and getting together with friends and colleagues for lots of happy hours and live music. Ketel martini, up. Ice cold. Olives.

Discoveries To Make Regarding The V3 Hopfest

By Anna Murphy

Many people indulge in cycling competitions with various targets. For instance, the prize can become a motivating factor that makes cyclists to register for the race. Furthermore, other folks involve in other physical exercises. However, when it comes to the veteran victory velo, participants come to such events to support the fallen heroes. Through registration, one donates to such group of people and still gains through enjoying the festive. Music, food and brews are also offered. Thus, even when individuals think they cannot participate in riding, they should not miss the fun chance. This article covers guidelines into the v3 hopfest. The cycling competition encourages people from different backgrounds to participate. Whether you are a great rider or have not indulged in cycling before, you will have a matching stretch. For instance, when one finds that he or she cannot ride long, the individual may choose from the short races. For example, the family ride of fifteen miles can get covered by anyone. Furthermore, one can participate in thirty, sixty, or even a hundred-mile race depending on capability. Some people may not get attracted by the ridding activity. However, people looking for entertainment should not be left behind. After cycling, live music is provided, and one can dance and listen to favorite musicians. Besides, you should not leave the site to look for something to eat. Food trucks are allowed, and one will have the chance of getting something for the stomach. The climax is brew tasting from various brands provided by the twenty identified breweries. Registration is essential as one will not be allowed to take part in the festive without getting listed. With this, interested persons have to follow the guidelines and ensure they are registered. The online enrollment process is ongoing. However, those who will not have registered will not be prevented from doing it on the same day. The enrollment process will commence from six to seven in the morning. The issues of essential amenities may become a bother to folks who have no idea of whether what they need is available. For example, one should not mind about parking lots as adequate space is provided. Other amenities include toilets and changing rooms, route sign posts, first aid, hot lines for emergencies, as well as mechanical support among many others. Rules exist in every competition for fairness. Therefore, one should be ready to adhere to set laws. For example, cyclists are prohibited from having ear buds or phones. Furthermore, one must wear a helmet as well as bib number bracelet among other rules. People who are concerned about security when cycling should not be worried. The sites selected are safe, and no animal or people will hurt others. What is more, security is enhanced, and protection is available. Furthermore, the routes are captivating and offering magnificent experiences. Folks have the chance to see and feel nature through the valleys and the mountain. The competitions start at different times, which allow a participant to cover envisaged distances. The first teams to leave are those of cyclists covering one hundred miles. People who participated over the past years managed to garner over one hundred thousand dollars. Hence the cyclists have impacted the lives of veterans in significant ways.

Phoenix Events, Activities and Festivals - April

New Post has been published on https://www.usatelegraph.com/2018/phoenix-events-activities-festivals-april/

Phoenix Events, Activities and Festivals - April

Typically the weather is still good in April, with warm temperatures but usually not yet in the triple digits. We’ll still see several Phoenix-area events in April that take place outdoors.

These are many of the community events that you can count on year in and year out in April. All dates, prices, and activities mentioned are subject to change without notice. Check the website or call to confirm information.

The activities in this event calendar are appropriate for families unless otherwise indicated. If the event is free, I’ll mention that, too.

Looking for big name concerts, shows or theatre? Check this calendar for April performances.

New Items January 29, 2018

Limited Release Package: Stowaway 16 oz Cans!

6/4 Pack 16 oz Cans Item # 43126 $44.00

Double-dry-hopped with close to 500 pounds of hops per batch, Stowaway’s bitter character is of course enticing for any veteran hop head. BUT, the solid malt backbone makes this beer approachable enough and drinkable enough for any beer drinker to tackle, even with its don’t-mess-with-me 7% ABV. To top it all off, after a long, full three weeks in the tanks, this full-bodied beer has a dry, crisp finish virtually unheard of in the style category. It’s no wonder Stowaway is the best-selling Maine Made IPA in the northeast! (6.9%)

Our Local Ipswich Spring Revival is in!

4/6 Packs Item # 11920 $29.50

2/12 Packs Item # 11925 $29.50 ($4.30 off 10 cases, $4.80 off 20 cases, $5.30 off 40 cases)

Our interpretation of a golden hued Belgian-style saison imbued with fruity yeast esters and hop aroma. Traditionally brewed during the winter months, then later released for seasonal workers. Finally, a beer for the working man and woman. Vive les Saisonniers! (6.3%)

Harpoon The Craic is in!

4/6 Packs Item # 24212 $28.70

1/6 Bbls item # 24211 $68.00

1/2 Bbls Item # 24210 $140.00

Why should St. Patrick’s Day just be a “day” when you can make a whole season out of it?! Crack open The Craic and let the friendly banter, bursts of laughter, and toe-tapping music of the season get your eyes smiling.

This hybrid ale combines two classic styles —IPA and Irish Red Ale—to create a unique and flavorful beer. The malt combination commonly used in Irish Red Ales brings a toasted, malty flavor that balances the citrusy and fruity character of the hops. (6.9%)

Murphy’s 10 Pack Cans are here!

2/10 Packs Item # 39043 $21.00 ($3 off 15 cases)

Murphy’s is an internationally recognized Irish stout, brewed since 1856 in the iconic Lady’s Well Brewery, Cork. Classified as an Irish Dry Stout, Murphy’s is dark in color and medium-bodied. It is silky smooth with toffee & coffee undertones, almost no bitterness, and a irresistible creamy finish. (4%)

Two Roads Limited Release: Unorthodox Russian Imperial Stout

1/6 Bbls Item # 03757 $110.00 (only 3 avail.!)

Two Roads own brewing czar, Phil Markowski, has taken a traditional Russian Imperial Stout and added a touch of "Amerika" to create a version that's sure to please! This most unorthodox Russian Imperial Stout is brewed with malted rye and aggressively hopped with four different Pacific Northwest varieties to create a depth of character that's unmistakable. Full-bodied with notes of rye, treacle, chocolate and espresso that join together to create a crescendo of flavor. You’ll want to do an unabashed Kalinka after just one taste! (9.2%)

Just in from the Captain’s Daughter creator Grey Sail:

Flying Jenny Pale Ale!

1/2 Bbls Item # 11467 $170.00 (only 2 avail.!)

An unfiltered extra pale ale crafted with five different malts and complimented by northwestern hops make this brew one to enjoy year-round. Generous amounts of hops in the kettle and fermenter give our EPA a citrusy and floral flavor and aroma. (6%)

Revolution Cross of Gold

1/6 Bbls Item # 44580 $80.00

An easy drinking golden ale for everyone. Brewed to be crisp and refreshing with a bit of wheat malt for body and a delicate hop finish. William Jennings Bryan delivered one of the most famous political speeches ever at the 1896 Democratic National Convention, in Chicago. The speech was named Cross of Gold, and provided the inspiration for one of Revolution's original beers. Jennings Bryan was a populist, something we craft brewers consider ourselves to be. Cross of Gold was first brewed in Josh Deth's basement by Brewmaster Jim Cibak, in June 2009. Two additional batches followed, to dial in the recipe, before becoming one of the initial beers served at the Revolution Brewpub in 2010. Cross of Gold has since taken home Gold at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup. It remains a favorite among our employees, and is a top seller at the Brewpub and Tap Room. (4.8%)
