Was delighted to be greeted by old Cube volunteer Mat working at The Rio Cinema in Dalston when I went to see the bizare new Harmony Korine film Mister Lonely last weekend.
Sounds like Mat is getting up to lots of stuff in London including being a member of a printmakers co op too.

A little taster of Cabaret Fun..

Posted on March 21, 2008 by richie paradise

Hello Chums, Tomorrow is the first Birthday of the Cabaret. I meant to do a super Mr. Hopkinson style film of the last one, but I am far too lazy as well as lacking any talent, so I give you:
CUBE CABARET CHRISTMAS CRACKER



Why it was a greta night even though Miss Zeigfield was absent touring her show in the further regions of the realms. The evening ended with some marvelous dancing in the bar, thanks to all the performers and all who came.
Lots more HERE if you want to relive the show.

Hope to see youse saturday,

Big Love, Richie Paradise Richie Paradise

Yes, we are a year old. In a wizardous marvel of convenience and cunning it’s myself and Richie’s birthdays too.

Here is the beautifully recycled poster…hand-painted spectaculars will have to wait until April as I busy mastering the art of riding elephants and sewing on sequins.

Do come and join the fun and frolics!

Jack is Back

Jack Stevenson like a migrating bird is coming back soon.
Here is an article on him and one other in that unique breed of
rare film collectors.
Cinema’s like The Cube need a rare film collector or two in their little black book.

Hello chums, I’m trying hard to catch up with Cube related shenanigans so will be posting hard this next fortnight. Meanwhile let us go back in time to last November………… tinci vinci test1 trali vali
You may remember that last year The Cube headed South of the River to the popular Totterdown arts trail AKA Frontroom. This year we also had some Cube related events associated with Frontroo eto mi ne test2 proxodili m.
Cube fave and volunteer Rasha Shaheen played underneath The Bocabar at Paintworks as did my beat combo SUZUKI BOOM BOOM.
SBB also features fellow Cube supremo Barry Parsons hence me blogging it (oh and the shameless self publicity)
Also in the band, Mrs Megan Paradise herself and Proffessor Kris Griffin< eto nam test3 ne zadavali /a>.
Anyhow heres a couple of clips of the gig



Plenty more on Youtube if you wanna hear more. Theres also some great photos courtesy of Photographer Will Iredale here.
It was great fun and nice to take a piece of Cube related fun out further.
Our thanks to all the Frontroom organisers, especially Marita Lanham and everyone else who came along.

You know you really are Gorgeous, Till next time don’t go changing

Would anyone like to tell me a bedtime story of what happened on this wonderful night?
I missed it all thanks to a cancelled train… waaah!

Perhaps you can tell it and make me feel like I was there…

YES! YOU CAN CAN CAN!

Posted on December 5, 2007 by richie paradise

Mid November saw the Cube Orchestra venture South of the river (kinda, if you know your geography) to Spike Island where we had been invited to play on/with a very interesting piece by Turkish Artist Can Altay. The piece is called Ey Ahali!. “Ey Ahali!” is the typical phrase of the traditional introduction to a public announcement, verbally made by shouting on the streets.
Anyhow you can see Uncle Liam and the gang here and then good old YouTube has two clips.
Uncle Liam of Cube Orchestra fame Ey Ahali! It's The Cube Orchestra!

I enjoyed meeting some new members of the Orchestra as I don’t get down so often these days, venerable types each and every one of them. Look out on the clips for some of these handsome chaps


A few regulars too, Ale on guitar/voice, Richard keys, Liam on Trombone (1st time ever), Mark on sax and me on Handsonic. This was great fun, basically for those too lazy to follow links the stage is the art, it has speakers in which you plug into. A small but appreciative audience seemed to enjoy themselves, as did the Orchestra who celebrated with beer and snacks at the Arnolfini afterwards.
Spike Island audience

Our thanks to Can and the Spike Island crew.

Big love, Richie Paradise Captain Richie Paradise
