Uniqulture’s Arts Hearts: Rising
Inspired by grassroots music venues (GMV) champion, Jean Genie’s Panda Power Parties. Live music socials - introducing LA Salami, Gabi Garbutt, Granfalloon, annual Glastonbury fave, Lekiddo Lord Of The Lobsters and more - to new friends.
10th May 2024, The Ferret, Preston, saved. Love ya, Music Venue Trust! BBC TV North clip with CEO Mark Davyd (and a clip of Jean Genie’s Massive Hugs soundchecking)
Fusing performers, creators, dreamers, supporters. A kindly house party, with cake. Events Dept. memory from a music tourism tip, The Social in Fitzrovia.
TheZineUK arrived, founded in Uniqulture, March 2014 with punk and poetry.
Documenting seeds of stardust fuel a fertile environment. A decayed of punky situationist whimsy alongside other interdependent allies.
Totally Unofficial Free Festival Fun (TUFFF - gong!) sponsored by love, appreciation, friends, fans (LAFF)
Magick plays a huge part…
We’ve the Genie and a (Dizzy) Spell alongside every woodland folk of yore in this golden DIY Bayeaux tapestry of top history.
Music Women: Yes. Of course there’s our tech savvy musician as Space Vixen, Kat Five (interview - 2024 essential) - and our green friend, Moonpuss of Music Tourist Board.

2024 proceeds at the rate of a week every day?
Parallel dimensions of psycho-trolls -v- poetic souls is measured (by TheZineUK anyway) in gigs, events and festival dates. These need finance to happen. Some sponsors are problematic for the moral conscience.
Nobody is perfect but it’s a Braver New World and the Resistance ®Evolution is developing. Children of all ages are an educated and empathetic new unity in a genocidal, eco criminal eruption of corruption.
United, We’ll Keep Improving.

One flag on the world stage is the most flown and displayed. Every chapter TheZineUK’s reported (perfectly imperfectly), feels like the deliciously diverse newer wave of under the radar rock n roll music industrious are SuperNature’s intent.
Hence the Fertile Environment HAPPENING despite the hisstablishment’s hostile one.
Not The Great Escape, Not The Alt Escape but an alt-alt-escapism of Total Interdependence Festivity - getting by with a little help from our friends.
Expo/Music Tourism
March is annually SXSW, Austin, Texas
2023 TheZineUK repping (down the front for Brooke Combe) at the British Music Embassy to begin the People’s Music Tourist Board then, at Vancerts, where the first word spotted is “Magic
2024. Supersponsors? RIP SXSW especially the tone deaf response from local government to the music world. “Es Ex Es Double U” (as a recent profiled music industry event called it) is planning to plonk SXSWLondon into the June 2025 ecosystem of the UK festival calender and grassroots music venue circuit. Sigh…
It feels like that was the last real SouthBySouthWest. Because…
2024’s main talking point was artist boycotts where, ironically, they probably got their names mentioned more than usual in UK/Ireland press. We’re proud to have been a media partner of Vancerts. Teenage Sequence thanked them.
Totally unofficial independent stages for the WIN. This was Vancerts ATX 2024 being loved during the SXSW boycotts…
March was also Expo 01 though.
LOVE power.
Not a bad representation of how the evening of live rock n roll music, poetry, audiovisuals and socialising went, in the end!
April 2024
CroCroLand (our doc blog) was the sold out weekend of uniqulture, artists/allies everywhere. Friends hugging under the moon. Such escapism, that leaving to discover WW3 was being attempted was surreal. Oi, war wankers, when Ms Mohammed sings ‘Never Again’, we’re with her!
Believe it - CroCroLand "An uprising of (40!) bands and music fans" - Expo 02 was, indeed, pretty much like this!
May 2024
The Great Escape is over shadowed by peaceful protest. Events take a couple of years advance programming so festivals and sponsors have time to consider/fix 2025 onwards.
Eurovision/Euronazivision, whatever, it’s an absolute catastrophuck in a week of BOOs (and bees!). (Mass Murder: still bad)
Ironically for this “once a song contest” bollox, It’s the week of Hind’s Hall by Macklemore (click link for the video - all proceeds to https://www.unrwa.org/ - the majority of us actually ARE united by music. Just not this genocidal apologist art-washing. 10% of the Malmo population protested this event. Generation A baby.
Mindless thugs beat students for being educated/moral.
We’re in some Dr Who reality warpfusion of 42 dystopian movies.
Simultaneously.
With a Shitting Image remix by The Muppets retold as a fairy tale. Wicked greedy “royals” included.
Retarted (as in having an extra jam tart) eh? Ha ha… BLOCKED!
Example - UK (Unprincipled Kleptocracy)
In Westminster/Pestmonster, a tory prime sinister was beaten by a lettuce, but they themselves beat the current (unelected) “leader” whose candidate for London Mayor was some mad bigot. The local fascists, Britain First, wereas beaten by Count Binface . BritainLast, then. Sadiq Khan, Mayor Of London acknowledged Count Binface who did the journalists job for them and asked zionaziradioLBC where their disappeared journalist, Sangita Myska, was. Dafuq?
This is what happens when the oh-so-superior-to-us-daft “wokeratti” adults are in charge. The professionals, experts, institutionalised, establishment are in charge…They and their toadies are so IN “the box”.
Leading the charge (of change)
The DIY Sector are some of the most professional in the rising global Arts and Entertainment movements.

A sixth sense moral compass is changing the world with audiovisual representations for and against this Planet Nutzy age. With global genocide raging, the ingreeding slaughter-glee masks are off for Team Apartheid. Weaponised botbrains have lost their minds.
Earthlings peacefully marching towards a better future. It won’t be easy but it will always be worth it.
Team ®Evolution are using their he(ARTS) / heads.
