22nd February 2009

A really nice review of my Surface Unsigned gig:

"One man and his guitar, Daren Callow presents us with the vivid imagery and broken emotions that one would expect to hear from an acoustic rock performer. However, the great difference is that both the song writing and performance are a cut above the rest. By using effects on the vocals, the songs take on a new life of their own and really give you something to think about. The songs are original and he has avoided the clichés that make acoustic rock, at times intolerable. Rhythmic and soulful, Daren Callow captured the mood and imagination of the crowd."

There are two great ways to get in the mood for Sunday's Surface Unsigned Festival gig:

1) Download and listen to my hour long radio show from South City Radio.  This week I'm the Featured Artist and the show is accesible from the homepage, if you are tuning in later, then go to the list of shows and find the PH7 show from 28th January 2009.

2) Watch the video of my performance of Casdok's Shrek Rap at DJ Kirkby's book launch.  Don't forget to leave a comment and do consider buying a CD of the Rap to support Autism charities.

I'm very excited to announce that I'll be playing live for PH7 in his Neutral Zone show on South City Radio this Wednesday (28th Jan).  They played one of my songs on the show broadcast on the 21st which featured Steve Bolt and Chosen Fume, which you can still hear via their website.  Tune in live tomorrow at 7pm, or if you can't listen live revisit the site and download the show at a later time.

The double book launch went very well and if you would like to own a copy of Shrek Rap (by
Casdok)  on CD (also featuring The End Of The World Part I and After All) then please send me an email (music @ darencallow.co.uk - without the spaces) with your address, I would ask for a donation of a minimum of £3 all the profits from sales of the CD will be donated to autism related charities (to be confirmed shortly) - payments can be made via PayPal at the same email addres or via the button below.  If you would prefer to have the song via MP3 download, then please make your payment and then contact me by email, and I will send you a link to download the three songs and album cover.

Daren has been asked to perform alongside Frog Morris at the prestigious Whitstable Biennale on the 29th June.  Venue and times TBC.

The full press release for this event:

PRESS RELEASE – Whitstable Biennale 2008,  21 June to 6 July
 
 
Whitstable Biennale 2008 announces winners of major award:
 
"Let art be the balm that heals society"

says Bob and Roberta Smith one of the judges for the The Whitstable Biennale 2008 Open Submission Award. The selection committee comprised Bob and Roberta Smith (artist), Sue Jones (Director, Whitstable Biennale) and Charlotte Cullinan (Cullinan & Richards, artists)
 
This major award was open to both established and emerging artists living both in the UK and internationally. There were a massive two hundred and seventy seven entries with many submissions coming from outside the UK and applications from as far away as Japan. The recipient(s) of the cash prize win the opportunity create a new work for the Whitstable Biennale 2008 providing them with huge audiences.
 
Winners: Oreet Ashery and Mike Chavez-Dawson
 
Oreet Ashery’s work tends to be complex and relational, but at the same time humorous and accessible to a wide variety of audiences and communities.
 
Frequently Ashery will produce work as a character. Her characters include a rabbit, a black man, a Norwegian postman, a fat farmer and an Arab man, among others. Marcus Fisher, an orthodox Jewish man is Ashery’s most consistent character. 
 
Oreet Ashery will be creating a new performance work entitled ‘The Saints of Whitstable’. Ashery, The Saint, together with disciples, will set up a study centre from which to carry out a range of saintly activities over the two weeks. 
 
Mike Chavez-Dawson is creating a temporary cinema-inspired environment, designed to play host to a series of performances using the skills of a local hypnotist and the artist's ability to visualise an entire film from memory.  The work is entitled ‘The Mind Projected Cinema’ . Audiences will be asked to take part, watching Rorschach images from the titles of Peter Cushing films, and imagining the films into being.
 
Within easy reach of London, 45mins by car and just over an hour by train, Whitstable is fast becoming the coolest art event in the UK.
 
Under the directorship of Sue Jones the event is now recognized internationally, and is one of the UK's most important platforms for both established and emerging contemporary artists: Sue Jones says " I encourage the artists I commission to take risks and this has really paid off. People are very excited by this year’s line up"

Satellite Programme:
 
Over 70 artists are participating in the Whitstable Biennale Satellite programme entitled ‘LOCAL’. The title is somewhat ironic and questions the idea of ‘belonging’ or ‘relating to’ a particular area or neighbourhood. The fringe programme has evolved in parallel with the Whitstable Biennale and showcases the work of up and coming artists from all over the UK.
 
Biennale Bag 2008:
 
Bob and Roberta Smith has been commissioned to design a limited edition Biennale Bag for Whitstable Biennale 2008
