FEATURE: UD Vocal Collective get the crowd moving at Paradise Gardens Festival

On Saturday the 19th of June, Victoria Park became a paradise garden abundant with an amalgamation of different music, theater and live exhibitions. The two day festival saw thousands of people flock to the park on Saturday and Sunday to listen to live music programmed by The Barbican, Urban Development, Rising Tide and Young London Into Music.

PROFILE: Shezar a force of nature

Bold, unconventional and undeniably quirky, Sherelle McKenzie’s alter ego goes some way towards capturing her madcap character. The ‘A’ in ‘ShezAr’ stands tall and wears its cap with authority because, like the first letter in the alphabet, its bearer is about to set it off.
