INTRODUCTION

Hello and welcome to your June/July edition of Tadcaster Echo.

We hope you all enjoyed the bank holidays that May brought, we certainly did! At Tadcaster Echo, we are back in business, the sun is shining and we are helping more businesses get the exposure they need.

This month, we talk to Louise Moss, who has recently launched her own waxing business in Wetherby and is hoping to spread body positivity amongst local women. We also showcase the brilliant

musician, Clockwork, who is now based in Tadcaster and has become something of a veteran on the UK urban music scene.

As always, our friendly team is just an email or phone call away to help you with all your advertisement needs and answer any questions you may have.

We will see you again in August, but for now sit back with a cuppa (hopefully in the garden) and enjoy your latest instalment of Tadcaster Echo.

Local musician thriving on UK urban music scene

Clockwork, real name Brandon Livingstone, lives in Tadcaster and is a 27-year old musician who creates songs in a wide variety of styles and genres

moved to Tadcaster in October 2022.

Clockwork’s manager Samson Moore told Tadcaster Echo: ‘I truly believe that Clockwork is doing fantastically well in his career of late.’

Clockwork’s catalogue of music can be found across all streaming platforms, but Spotify is what he considers to be his flagship platform - where he has a considerable amount of monthly listeners.

These genres are mainly, grime, rap, trap, pop and pop-punk. He has been making music for a long time now, and has

become something of a veteran on the UK urban music scene.

Originally from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Clockwork

In August 2022, Clockwork was aired on BBC Radio for the first time - a dream he had been purusing since the start of his career. The song that was aired was called ‘Bank Street - Freestyle’ and it was done in collaboration with his best friend and mentor; ‘99’.

Back in April, Clockwork was given his second airing on the BBC airwaves, this time

with a song called ‘Graft’, in a triple-collaboration with Blackpool’s ‘Afghan Dan’ and also 99 again. This song achieved brilliant success on the steaming platforms too, earning over 2,000 streams on Spotify - a fantastic achievement for an independent musician. As well as making marketable

music that can be aired on BBC Radio, Clockwork has never been one to shy away from making deep, meaningful and topical songs too, raising awareness on important issues such as the war in Ukraine, homelessness, and suicide prevention to name but a few. Clockwork has always been respected for this.

He also has big ambitions for the future and plans to arrange some live performances in and around the Tadcaster area, as well as the wider UK.

Getting back in the recording studio with 99 to work on a lot more joint projects together is also a big priority for him.

Waxing for the win!

Local waxer, Louise Moss, is promoting positive body image and showcasing that waxing is for everyone

Louise, who is also known as the ‘Wax Boss’, has recently launched her own waxing business in March 2023 and aims to empower women to be body positive. If you head over to Louise’s business page on Facebook you will see it’s all about self acceptance, having a bit of fun whilst waxing and trying to normalise it.

Louise told Tadcaster Echo: ‘I want to spread the message that everyone should be body positive and promote that waxing is for all. I make it light hearted and funny. I talk about all the things that women face whether that be menopause, weight issues, periods, sex, domestic violence etc.

‘My salon is a home-based salon, completely discreet and I lock the door. I have pictures of vulvas all over the room and make the experience as fun as possible. For some reason talking about waxing intimate areas is a bit taboo and I’m trying to put it out there that it’s totally normal.

‘I left an abusive marriage so I’m now a single mum to a seven-year-old boy. I’ve overcome a lot and I’m determined to make myself a success.

‘I am an intimate waxing specialist but I do other waxing. I just perform waxing on females at the moment but I will look to expand and train to do men’s waxing too.

Previously I did lashes/brows but was diagnosed

win!

with sarcoidosis and the steroids I was prescribed made my hands not as steady. So I spotted a gap in the market and decided to be a specialist intimate waxer.”
