Our stunning cover star and new singing sensation, Coco Sumner of band I Blame Coco, sits down with us to discuss her new pop career. In our exclusive shoot and interview, the shy yet sure twenty-year-old reveals why breaking the music scene was something she wanted to do without any help from her famous father. Don’t forget to check out her debut album, The Constant, which we’re excited to announce is released this November. Budding actor and Burberry model Tom Hughes talks to us about his recent friendship with funny man Ricky Gervais and how he couldn’t have landed his lead role without the help from his mum and dad, rather than the common ‘contact book’ route P40.

Boris Johnson: BoJo, as we have reported in this very magazine, is a keen cyclist and ardent supporter of cycling as a method of commuting. As Mayor of London, he has been the lynchpin in the Barclays Cycle Hire scheme to the extent that they have now been dubbed Boris Bikes (although we admit that the scheme was first put into motion during Ken Livingstone’s administration, Boris is really the posterboy). Across the city there are numerous docking stations with rows of the stylish blue bicycles just waiting to be ridden. Activated with an electronic key for which you sign up online, the bike can be ridden for as long as you like and returned to

any docking station. The first 30 minutes are free but there are varying rates for usage as well as a yearly membership, which makes commuting - even long distances - unbelievably cheap. The scheme has been modeled on the Paris Velib, which was put into operation in 2007, but even the discerning Parisians have commented that our bikes are more chic and easy to ride. Go to the TfL (Transport for London) website for a cute animation on how the scheme works….and va va voom into the smoggy distance. A Garden Party To Make A Difference: Festival attendance is de rigueur these days, but only a few organisers have a green agenda or policies. Is it possible to go to a cool festival and be environmentally friendly? Well, yes, if the festival in question happened to be a celebration of all things green, was forthright and encouraging about being eco aware while also providing entertainment from music to fashion and comedy!

NICE

Nick Clegg: The Deputy Prime Minister and Liberal Democrat has always been committed to environmentalism. However, at a recent press conference in the north-east, he admitted that politicians are renowned for often being all talk and no action (not that we didn’t know already Nick). But he insisted that those days are over and that a dynamic and empowering government was to be the basis of the Coalition. This is most apparent in green issues. “We won’t try and dazzle you with green gimmicks,” he said, “we want to impress you by quietly getting on with the job.” The job in question being The Green Deal – a plan that will save millions of households up to £550 a year by providing them with upfront finance for energy saving measures. So as well as reducing bills, households will be contributing to the effort to lower carbon outgoings, which currently account for a quarter of emissions.

There will be over a hundred displays and exhibits, live music and comedy, debates, talks and celebrities. Emma Watson, Hogwarts student and spokesperson for People Tree will be there presenting the new A/W collection and fashion royalty Dame Vivienne Westwood will be in attendance. Promoting sustainability through a festival medium certainly gets the thumbs up from us, as long as HRH doesn’t do any embarrassing granddad style dancing along to Jools Holland. The Swindon Super Bee: Swindon might hold the key to saving the world. Just read that sentence again to let it sink in. A bee keeper in Swindon, Ron Hoskins, 79, has bred what he believes is a strain of bee which is resilient to the blood sucking varroa mite which spreads viruses and diseases by teaching them to groom each other. The Varroa Mite has killed billions of Britain’s bees since it was introduced here in 1992 and it has been suggested that it was also to blame for the huge drops in bee numbers in the US in recent years. The British Beekeeper’s Association will be funding further research though there are others, scientists and beekeepers who are also looking into similar ways of breeding super bees. It’s not for nothing that they are worried about the decline in bee population, the slowing down of pollination would severely affect harvests and famine would soon follow. So it is in our interest to hope that Ron of Swindon is onto something with his hygiene aware bees.

We’re not happy about...

Pakistani floods: The floods in Pakistan have been described as the region’s worst humanitarian crisis. Seventeen million people have been affected and five million are now homeless, and yet financial aid has been slow in coming. This was not the same

NASTY

Naomi Campbell: The world famous supermodel was called as witness for the prosecution in the war crimes tribunal of Charles Taylor, the former Liberian president. Eyebrows were raised when she referred to it as a “big inconvenience” - presumably she had sunbathing in the South of France to be getting on with. Charles Taylor is accused of involvement in the civil war in Sierra Leone through the sale of weapons in exchange for blood diamonds. And it is these diamonds that Campbell is connected to when, after a dinner party with Nelson Mandela and Charles Taylor in 1997, she was given dirty looking stones by two mysterious men in hotel room in the middle of the night. She claims not to have known their provenance nor that they were blood diamonds but that she gave them to the Chief Executive of Mandela’s charity (who actually kept them for himself for 13 years). Look love, even Kanye knows about diamonds from Sierra Leone. Blood diamonds are a blight on Africa and to be so indifferent about participating in the prosecution of a warlord complicit in gun running, illegal diamond sales, recruitment of child soldiers and assisting and abetting rebels in their atrocities earns her top place in the Recognasty poll.

as the earthquake in Haiti and the Asian tsunami. So what gives? Might it be a political issue? David Cameron recently placed Pakistan in a negative spotlight claiming it was complicit in exporting terror. Or could it be donor fatigue? There seems to be a new disaster every week. And Pakistan has been the recipient of substantial contributions in humanitarian assistance over the years (though its armed forces are the sixth largest in the world). Or could it be that we feel other, richer (less recession affected, at least) nations could do more, and particularly the Islamic gulf nations, should they not help their religious brethren? And now with the diversion of troops from neighbouring Afghanistan to help with the aid effort, fears are growing of more Taliban attacks in both countries. However, philosophising on all this just means that help is not directed to the innocent who’ve lost loved ones and livelihoods. Recognise hopes that aid and financial relief will be more forthcoming before this tragedy deepens.

Dov Charney: The founder of American Apparel should technically be in the Recognice section for all their focus on fair wages and sourcing local talent and products. However, the company has recently been getting bad press. Not least because of the numerous court cases against Charney himself, against whom allegations of sexual harassment and gross misconduct have been leveled, but also the revelation that 1500 illegal immigrants were working in the factory. It seems that the business plan Charney implemented was more than flawed and the swift expansion of the company was not sustainable. Thusly, thousands of employees are likely to face the sack as the clothing company faces bankruptcy. Chuggers: Now we know people in colourful tabards guilt tripping you into sparing the price of a coffee a week to help alleviate poverty in Africa/cure Aids/ fund cancer research etc, can be annoying. Though we urge you to donate to charity, especially those you feel an affinity to or when a natural disaster strikes, as with our Pakistan story above, we at Recognise think that the lengths to which charities must go to get donations does them a disservice. Newsnight, that bastion of investigative journalism, has found that of every £1 given, up to 95p has been spent on getting that donation by the employment of fundraising companies and the huge fees they command. Those ‘chuggers’ you see are often not employed by the charity but these subsidiary companies. Making business out of charity, is well, decidedly uncharitable.

didn’t really follow fashion particularly, or do any of that kind of stuff, I fell into it at just at the right time. And I feel so fortunate for that. As well as modelling, I get to do acting work in short films and music videos and all sorts — plus being on Britain’s Next Top Model is great, and its been great fun doing it. And some people think that being a model is an easy job! But, mentally, what are the challenges that models have to face on a day-to-day basis? Rejection really. I think a lot of actors face the same thing - constantly going to castings, if they’re even getting castings. You need to find that fine line between being thick-skinned and still being open minded and being yourself. And also not to become obsessively self-critical, because some people are right for the job and some people are wrong for the job, and there are so many of us out there. Modelling has started to appeal to a younger generation, mainly girls who feel pressured to look thinner, taller, have longer legs. Do you have any advice for these girls? I think that especially in this day and age, the body has become even more glamorised and it’s everywhere, especially with shows like BNTM - lots of people watch it and I’d like to think that we’re representing realistic girls. But what they need to remember is that the most important thing is just to eat well and exercise. And also to sign with a reputable agency, like my agency Models 1 - they’ll see girls at 14, but they don’t actually like to start them working until they’re at least 16 years old. They’re monitored so carefully - any work they do is for teen magazines, there’s nothing ever overtly sexual, it’s all fun and smiley. And there is always either a member of the family or a chaperone or someone from the agency with them.

CHARLEY SPEED We caught up with Charley Speed, model and panelist on this year’s Britain’s Next Top Model (the least bitchiest one) for his thoughts on industry pressure to be thin, how he got started, Ferris Bueller and how he is really just an old fart. Famous for having cosied up to Kate Moss in a Calvin Klein campaign, we found him to be thoroughly charming and down to earth.

So how did you get to where you are now? Are you still modelling? I am still modelling; I’m a bit old school! I’ve been with Models 1 since I started - pictures were sent into a competition for me by a girlfriend at the time. I didn’t even know about them and she said ‘look they really want to see you’, and I ended up winning. I

But do you think that modelling could damage the way that people think about themselves in general? Could it raise insecurities? The point about modeling is that it all comes down to the individual - if it’s really starting to get to you, or you’re taking it too personally, you can just walk away from it. You’re not obliged to do anything you don’t want to. Obviously you’ll have bizarre features or things highlighted to you, silly things like that shoulder is a bit lower than the other side or your right hand profile is definitely your stronger profile, ridiculous things. You really shouldn’t take it personally, it’s really important for people to know that. So Charley, tell us your beauty secrets… In all honesty I’m not a gym guy. I cycle and swim. And I eat well; it’s as simple as that. Everything in moderation - not starving yourself, or smoking loads of fags! What can you not live without? My music. What’s top on your playlist? Well I could go back and sound like a really old fart! There are so many, I love so much stuff... Ok, how about a favourite book? I’ve got my collection of Sherlock Holmes, my box set, and I love that. Where would you take us for lunch? It would have to be The Farm in Ealing. It’s this wonderful organic place where you get wonderful mezze. And where is your favourite shopping destination? New York, New York! And if you have one, what is your life philosophy?  It’s basically a Ferris Beuller quote: I guess life moves very quickly - if you don’t stop and look around you will miss it. And continuing on from that, say ‘yes’ to more things. Say ‘no’ less and ‘yes’ more!

CINEMA

paradiso The Old Cinema is a gem of a shop, well we say gem though its more like a sprawling treasure trove, is where we are shopping this month for awesome pieces for the home...

words: CHRISTINA BRAGG

Buying antiques is, in itself very green, but the guys at The Old Cinema also practise upcycling. This store is a popular stop-off for interior designers and stylists looking for one-off pieces of furniture, lighting and unique curiosities. There couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a higher recommendation than this seal of approval from the discerning design cognoscenti. We think that as autumn approaches, since you will inevitably be trading bbqs for nights in on the sofa watching X Factor, you should make sure your pad is as stylish, cosy and green as possible.

A SELECTION OF HOMEWARE AVAILABLE AT THE OLD CINEMA

TAKE A TRIP TO THE STORE TO SEE THE ITEMS WE ARE LOVING... 1. Upcycled thirties steel drinks cabinet, £650 For any suave, sophisticated entertainer. Remember in old movies how every home used to have one (as did Delboy, in his Peckham flat?) They didn’t just crack open a brew from the fridge, they made pouring a nightcap stylish. Plus Art Deco is one of our favourite design aesthetics – very Jay Gatsby. 2. Upcycled jet engine converted to coffee table, £385 We love how you can still see what the piece was in its previous incarnation – even though its function may have dramatically changed from a symbol of progressive engineering to something far more domestic and its glass top makes it look like the propeller is still in motion!

3. Sack cloth armchair - range of prices The design of this armchair is in the style of a club chair but with entirely unexpected upholstery. Covered in salvaged sack cloth material, this chair has a quirky appeal. Juxtaposing traditional shapes with unconventional materials is very fashionable in design, just think of Philipe Starck’s Ghost Chair – A Louis XIV style chair rendered in plastic. But this is a far more eco friendly option. Plus, no two chairs are the same and the mis-matchy look is definitely one we love – it’s the height of shabby chic.

WE ASKED YOU...

WHEN IT COMES TO THE ENVIRONMENT, WHO CARES MORE? Focusing on the next generation theme, we took to London’s busy Oxford Street to ask the shoppers their thoughts on how different generations react to environmental issues. Is it that the young know more, but the old care more? Could it be class or gender related? See what three different generations had to say on the matter... by: LOUI BOWES photography: NEIL RAJA

Young’uns:

TIM ROBINSON, 19

JADE BROWNING, 18

YOS, 18

“The younger generation is definitely a lot more aware. I’m training to be an architect, so I’m massively involved in environmental issues. I think they’re not only more aware, but more interested too, as it will affect us more in the future.”

“I think younger generations are definitely more educated about environmental issues, but I don’t think they care as much as they should. Older people do more definitely, they can implement the ideas more easily.”

“I think older people care more, they have more experience of what is going on in the world. They’ve witnessed all the change first hand as they’ve grown up, so might feel more of a duty to do something about it.”

realise

MIDS:

SHARLENE FLEMING, 26

MAGNUS GJOEN, 30

CAROLINE ROSENBORG, 27

“I think the older generations care more, we’ve been brought up to care more. I’m Scandinavian and it’s a lot easier to recycle there.”

“They are making the younger people more aware, but the older people do more. But maybe that will change? I hope so.”

“I think the younger generation is more conscious, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they act in the right way.”

Almost Mature:

JASON LLOYD EVANS, 42

LORRAINE KINNMAN, 48

DAN FISHER, 40

“There are generational differences of course, the younger generation are more environmentally friendly, but they probably also travel a lot more which offsets the hard work.”

“I think it’s more of a class thing than an age thing. If people can’t afford to make changes in their lives, they won’t. I think there’s a lot of ignorance around on the matter.”

“Younger people definitely care more, they’ve grown up with all the warning signs. Older people have been conditioned not to care.”

er fierce independence spills over through her music and has seen her set up her own record label (Hurricane Records) and even launch a cosmetics range for black skin. Knight comes across as being utterly genuine – both in herself and what she believes in. She doesn’t mince her words; she is direct and to the point. Her involvement in charity work is nothing short of amazing and when asked why she supports the charities she does, Knight replies, “Mostly it’s down to things that have directly affected me. For example, in 2003 I lost my best friend to HIV, and that ripped my heart out. When he died, I promised myself that I would do anything I could to raise awareness and raise money. It was a promise I made to him and I intend to keep it. I also fundraise for breast cancer as my great grandmother died of it.” Knight has even been awarded an MBE for her charitable work, an accolade she admits felt like it “came out of the clear blue sky.” Very much the family woman, Knight refers to her mother as her biggest inspiration. “My mother is a phenomenon. I went to Salvador in Brazil with Christian Aid, and my mum was right there with me. After that trip she started to do her own fundraising for Christian Aid. My brother does a lot of charity work for children too.” She sponsors a child, Bernard, in the northern providence of Haiti, simply because one day a leaflet came through her door. Now, the money she sends goes towards his education. “When they sent the picture of Bernard over, I thought, ‘He looks like he could be my son!’ He has big eyes like me and chubby cheeks like me,” this spurred the 37-year-old singer to contemplate starting a family of her own. “We were actually talking about that last night, I went from someone who had never considered having kids to now considering it very seriously. The question is, when?”

Knight in Shining Armour It is impossible to simply refer to Beverly Knight as a singer/songwriter. Granted, the Wolverhampton-born songstress’s infectious hits have been filling the airwaves for over 10 years, but she is so much more than that... words: KIRAN BRACH photography: ROLAND LANE

The thing about Beverley Knight is that she genuinely cares about the causes she supports and when she does something, she is completely consumed by it. But she knows her own limits – knows exactly what she can and cannot do: “How could I, in good faith, put myself forward to be some kind of eco warrior? I recycle but I still drive a car. In charity work, there is no room for hypocrisy.” However, she knows how to make a stir for the right cause: “I did a naked shoot for charity wearing only Jimmy Choos and Cartier!” This last comment offers an insight into Miss Knight’s glamour, from which she cannot escape. “I love shoes. I own more than 450 pairs. I’m a shoe freak. It is my one naughty thing.” We will let you off on that one Bev.

Coco’s pop

Cleo Davis sits down with electro-pop’s newcomer - the smouldering Coco Sumner to discuss her upcoming debut album, the importance of giving and what it is like to have Sting as a father. interview: CLEO DAVIS photography: CAMILLE SANSON

urning up to a photo shoot to news that the hair stylist has fallen through a photographic backdrop is not so great. To then hear that your celebrity subject hasn’t muttered more than three words since arriving an hour ago doesn’t inspire confidence either. Especially when she is the cover star.

In the corner of the Hackney studio sits Coco Sumner, singer of the electro-pop band I Blame Coco. Dressed in shorts and a big shirt, she sits on a stool as the hair and make-up team get to work – as advised, they are making her smoky eyes smokier and her unwashed hair purposefully greasier. The young musician perches nervously, head hanging low, and picks at her previously neatly-painted nails. On first impressions, an uncooperative Kevin-the-teenager type springs to mind, but the minute she raises her head (revealing stunning model-like features and sea-green eyes), offers a husky little ‘hello’ and an endearing half-smile, those preconceptions fly straight out of the window. Perhaps this won’t be so difficult after all. In her press cuttings, Coco has often been portrayed as difficult and introverted, with journalists claiming, ‘she wouldn’t wear this, she wouldn’t answer that’. Prior to our shoot, her agent has supplied strict guidelines as to what questions not to ask and Coco’s likes and dislikes in terms of clothing – much to the stylist’s dismay. But on the day there were no tantrums or tears, and contrary to what those journalists had said, the mannishly-dressed singer even offered to try on a pair of high heels – the polar opposite to her flat boyish brogues. To the stylist’s joy, a cooperative Coco added, “I will wear them if you want me to.” As she stands in front of the camera, it’s hard to believe this girl is just a month out of teenage-hood, such is her apparent ease with every pose - ask any

model, it isn’t as easy as you may think. It’s hard to take a bad picture of her – our seductive front cover was captured in less than ten minutes of shooting. Coco is blessed with flawless skin and incredible bone structure; you can see a young Sting in her. With one high profile advertising campaign already under her belt (Burberry Spring/Summer 2008 with Agyness Deyn), it seems natural to ask if she has any desire to do further modelling work? “I modelled for a bit when I was younger to make a bit of cash, but there was no way that was going to be something I’d expand on.” During the interview, it is quite tough to pinpoint her emotions, thanks mainly to the curtain of hair that she pulls over her face. But instead of feeling put out by her reclusive ways, you feel a strange sense of calm in Coco’s company. Her aura is positive not negative – it must be her child-like posture and mouse-sized movements that give off those innocent vibes. Her voice is low and very soft, not too dissimilar to Sting’s (her parents are Sting and Trudie Styler, yet in her career she is quite independent from them). Coco is only just twenty yet she has made her debut appearances at three of the major British music festivals this year – it must be quite daunting for a girl who admits to staying late at school to avoid media attention. Unsurprisingly, her publicist ruled out various interview questions that had a particular reference to her celebrity father, it was obvious she would not be comfortable talking about him, but it is hard to avoid curiosity as everybody wants to know about a child of a superstar – do they look like their parent? Do they sound like them? Coco has been reported saying that the constant comparisons are a challenge for her. An early demo of hers was titled ‘My Name Is A Stain.’ Says it all really.

The rise and call of

Tom Hughes

Silver-screen newcomer Tom Hughes reveals how he couldn’t have succeeded without Ricky Gervais and his pushy parents. We met up with the rising star to discuss life after box-office exposure, his obsession with tea and not being able to grow a moustache.

interview: CLEO DAVIS photography: ISHAY BOTBOL styling: SHYLA HASSAN hair and grooming: Lan Nguyen @ my management using lancôme homme skincare and make-up

om Hughes is quite a catch; Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant definitely think so anyway. From unknown actor to playing the lead role in Gervais’ and Merchant’s drama, Cemetery Junction, a nostalgic seventies coming-of-age Brit film set in a quiet mining town in Berkshire, Tom describes his experience playing bad boy Bruce Pearson as his dream role. A rebellious character, Bruce dreams of escaping the sleepy town with his two best friends Freddie and Snork, played by Christian Cooke and Jack Doolan, respectively. Asked to base his character on James Dean, the standard was set for then unheard of Tom Hughes. Tom is not a demanding ‘diva’, not yet anyway. He took the underground to Camden (Recognise HQ) for his shoot and interview; we haven’t even received an invoice for his travel. On arrival he was certainly on form, no late night partying the night before for this busy boy, just a lot of hard grafting to keep his career on track, (he reveals that he is “reading plays and scripts like a nutter.”) With a new BBC drama series, a Brit film and numerous plays underway, the Chester-born actor is determined not to turn down scripts that fall through his letterbox. His confidence oozed ‘up-coming actor’, assertive, witty but not too cocky with it. It is easy to be in his company, he is interested in you as you are in him; there was a point where he almost tried to turn into the interviewer. With any luck, he will keep this level head steady throughout his career. The ladies in the office certainly found it easy to be in his company – Tom posseses the model-like looks of a modern-day Dean. Hughes was cherry picked by Burberry’s Creative Director Christopher Bailey as the face of the 2010 campaign, which he admits was “the weirdest experience in the world.” With his size twelve feet squeezed into toe crunching nines, he confesses that he has no desire to be a model. “I was flattered that they asked me; but the funny thing is, they rang up my agent out of the blue, to which she replied querying ‘how the hell have you heard of him?!’ On the campaign, they listed me as an actor, which was what made it worthwhile as I had only just left acting school and nothing I had ever filmed had actually come out.” Not big into his labels, Tom’s casual attire doesn’t mirror that of his character Bruce. Simple jeans, a Fred Perry poloneck and a Harrington jacket is Tom’s style; more of a modern day mod, if you will. He also looks decisively different in the flesh than on the silver screen; for a start, he isn’t as tall as he appears in the film, nowhere near really. It’s no surprise he has only actually been recognised twice since the film, the second time, he laughs; “a girl on the tube told me that I look

like the hot guy in Cemetery Junction.” It was even funnier when RECOGNISE’s distribution manager asked when he would be starting at the office. Confused, she later explained that she thought he was an intern. If only. But Tom certainly doesn’t go unnoticed to directors. After an initial chat with the Cemetery Junction casting team just three months out of drama school, Tom was told he would make a great Bruce. Smugly, he recalls this moment quite well, “I hadn’t read the script at this point, but they wanted me to return the next day to meet Ricky and Stephen.” Due to a mix-up in his diary, he was unable to go. Assuming the role had gone, three months later, fate kissed him on the face when a second chance to audition for the role arose and the rest, they say, is on Wikipedia. One for celebrating, he tells how he would get insanely drunk with other lead cast-members-to-be (Christian Cooke and Felicity Jones) while waiting for Stephen to confirm that the three of them had all got their parts. On their nightly benders, Tom reveals feeling a strong bond between the trio and even admits to giving the directors the ultimatum of ‘If you hire one of us, you take all three’. One for sticking to his guns, Tom was a determined to make the stage his office from the age of seven when he appeared in a school play as the Fantastic Mr Fox. “After the performance, I came off the stage, ran over to my mum and told her how I had never felt like that before and that I wanted to do it for a living. I wanted to be an actor.” Tom wasn’t born into an acting aristocracy, nor did he know of anyone who had made it in television or film; the whole industry was very alien to him and his family, even his school. “I think my mum (quite rightly) thought that her seven-year-old kid was going to grow out of the acting dream malarkey. And I knew, from the age of fourteen, when I was at my most determined to make it happen that it wasn’t going to be easy. It was a crazy kind of dream because at that time, I didn’t know how to do it; where I grew up and where I’m from, it’s not what people do and my school didn’t help because no one had ever gone to drama school from there.” He explained how drama lessons were seen as girly and the subject wasn’t taken seriously, so he had to go to youth theatre in Liverpool on a weekly basis. He grew up in Chester and went to a normal state school for most of his scholarly life – crikey, the lad hadn’t even heard of RADA until the age of sixteen! “I remember my mum and dad went up to town (Chester), just to go into the internet café, and came back and they told me ‘we’ve got information about drama schools’, they laid it all out, and said ‘here’s this one, here’s that one, and here’s RADA, it’s the best,

ho is Eliza Doolittle? And how did she manage to get away with calling herself this? The 22-year-old ‘Skinny Genes’ songstress enjoyed getting involved in the styling for this photo shoot (in Battersea) but wasn’t a fan of people touching her hair. A strong sense of style, a definitive sound and set to tour with none other than Paloma Faith in November, this English born singer songwriter has all the assets of something quite refreshing and is the granddaughter of stage school founder Sylvia Young. But can this little lady breathe new life into an old name? We packed up the Recognise bag of questions and spent the afternoon with the Primrose Hill popstar. Do you see yourself as a rising star? Well, I suppose that term seems right. I am a newcomer and the fact is that people have only just started hearing my music – although I’ve been making it for a while. So that makes me an up-and-coming artist.

Did you go to your grandmother’s famous school, the Sylvia Young Theatre School? No, I didn’t actually. I think because I was around entertainment in my family all the time, my mum and dad wanted me to have the opportunity to do something different if I wanted to. But I ended up entering the entertainment business anyway. Did your parents encourage you to get into music or was it a personal choice? It was completely my own discovery, and I suppose my mum was a bit worried because she knows how hard the industry is, but at the same time they saw my passion for it and they just wanted me to be happy. So who or what are your inspirations? When I was younger I listened to Destiny’s Child, Lauren Hill and lots of R&B, which I still love – it’s probably my favourite music. But I opened up my mind to a lot of different musical styles later on. Lots of different music influences me.

AGE

AGAINST THE MACHINE Recognise puts the latest age-defying machine, the Quantum QX, to the test...

f premature ageing comes high in your list of skincare concerns, The Organic Pharmacy’s Anti-ageing Profile is a great way to see how you are doing in the war against time and looking young. A BioEnergetic device - aka the Quantum QX machine - uses NASA technology to scan your body and measure key factors in premature ageing such as free radical levels, muscle elasticity, collagen and stress. As the latest technology in computerised health screening, the Quantam QX works by picking up electrical activity in your body and helps to identify any areas of weakness. This treatment sounded too good not to try, so we thought we would give it a go, all in the name of research of course. After an initial personal consultation based on my lifestyle and general health, straps were put around my wrists, ankles and forehead. I was left alone for five minutes while the QX got to work. (I was told to keep my eyes open so that no melatonin could creep in to affect the reading.) My reading revealed that my skin is not older than it should be (in fact four years younger), however my free radical level wasn’t quite so good. This, along with hydration levels could be my downfall in the future of my skin as they are both major players in the cause of fine lines and wrinkles. Energy was then sent back into my body via the QX to help correct and restore. Not only is the Quantum QX a great aid in the quest for looking young, it can be used to give your whole body a good old MOT on the inside as well. The Organic Pharmacy’s Health Assessment will look at you from head to toe and the QX will monitor at your vitamin and mineral levels, food intolerances, organ functioning, hormone balance and digestive disorders, to name a few; a great help to iron out any niggling health problems or even to give you that little boost. Further rejuvenation is achieved through the facelift massage. Tailored to your Quantum QX results, your therapist will use acupressure, deep muscle stimulation and lymphatic drainage to remove toxins and promote collagen and elastin production. Sweet smelling and hardworking products are

words: LOU DARTFORD photography: Aaron Nace chosen to target specific concerns without weighing the body down with any more toxins. The majority of The Organic Pharmacy products are 9599.9% organic with no use of artificial preservatives, fragrances or colorants. The battle against age is not just about anti-ageing creams and external treatments; and thanks to nutritionist (not Dr!) Mrs McKeith we all know by now that ‘we are what we eat’. However, in today’s demanding world it can be hard to get all the nutrients we need from our food and many of us are exposed to environmental stresses as well as lifestyle ones, all of which can speed up the clock. The QX can pick up on these imbalances and anything that needs a bit more work can be helped along by supplements, an integral part of The Organic Pharmacy’s holistic approach to wellbeing. By giving your body everything it needs, it can protect itself from the inside out, encouraging youth and vitality. With more free radicals than I would like, I was keen to learn what could be done to send these blighters on their way; toxins in the body are a major cause of free radicals and, as well as fine lines and wrinkles, they can also contribute to a sluggish system and low energy. To treat this, I was recommended their infamous 10 day detox, which is a system that cleanses the body while superantioxidants, (essential fatty acids and phytonutrients) aid, nourish and support. I was advised that by doing this four times a year, I would stay positively radiant. Glorious. Gimme five(!) With a background in pharmaceuticals, homeopathy and herbal medicine, Margo Marrone, founder of The Organic Pharmacy, mixes cutting edge technology with a passion for all things organic to deliver products and treatments that really do work.

The Tan Commandments S

ummer has been again, bringing with it lots of sunshine and alfresco antics, but as the long hot days start to get a bit shorter don’t let your holiday fun become a distant memory. Whether you’ve been relaxing on a tropical beach or chilling on British soil, there is nothing quite like a glorious tan to help you feel good and body confident.

words: Lou Dartford

The safest and quickest way to keep that golden glow is to fake it. If fake tan conjures up images of bad smelling, chemical heavy products, think again. We have compiled a guide to the best natural and organic self–tans so that you can let the Tangoed look dance away into the distance. And as each product is free of that traditional fake tan smell, they offer a great unisex option, after all it’s not just girls that want to keep that beach bronzed look is it?

revive

1. THOU SHALL NOT SMELL

The fresh fragrance of Lavera’s Self Tanning Shimmer Spray proves that fake tan can smell good and is my personal favourite (by a small margin!) This baby uses plant and sugar-based tanning ingredients mixed with organic moisturizers to make a lightweight formula that’s easy to apply. Natural mineral shimmer particles give skin an instant sheen and help prolong your holiday radiance. (£15.50 for 200ml) www.lavera.co.uk

2. THOU SHALL NOT LOOK ORANGE

The Organic Pharmacy’s Self Tan is derived from sugar beet. A little of this pleasant smelling cream goes a long way and leaves skin well nourished. The tan develops after a few hours to reveal a natural golden colour a couple of shades darker than your normal skin tone and a second go will take it deeper. (£29.95 for 100ml) www.theorganicpharmacy.com

3. THOU SHALL NOT RUB OFF ON CLOTHES

Free from chemical nasties, Green People’s Self Tan Lotion looks after your skin as well as creating a gorgeous post-summer glow. The lotion is lightweight and easily absorbed, leaving your skin feeling great. The colour

is very natural so great for first timers, but depth can be built so just as good for veterans! (£16.99 for 200ml) www.greenpeople.co.uk

4. THOU SHALL NOT STREAK

Beau Bronz offers a whole tanning system with the Medium Bronzing Tanning Cream 4 (£27 for 250ml) aimed at lighter skin tones and the Bronzing Mousse (£27 for 200ml) aimed at darker skins. They both have a tint for an instant colour, while the real tan develops in eight hours (a bit of a longer wait but well worth it). For even more options, why not try a Beau Bronz salon treatment? www.beaubronz.co.uk Call 0208 788 7770 for details of salon treatments.

5. THOU SHALL NOT DRY OUT SKIN

Packed full of organic and wild crafted botanicals, herbs and antioxidants, Chocolate Sun’s Cocoa Glow Natural Sunless Tanner will help put all the goodness back into your skin while adding longevity and an extra boost to that hard-earned tan. (£24.50 for 236ml) www.puresha.com

I love this place

tibits

words: CLEO DAVIS

Tibits, a relaxed and refreshing vegetarian café/restaurant (caferaunt?) on a back street off Regent Street (Heddon Street) caters for anyone looking for healthy and wholesome food without compromising on flavour. Choose from a vast range of veg-packed hot and cold dishes from the help yourself buffet setup. You might want to go steady on the heavy dishes, as it is a pay per weight of your final selection. This is a great waste prevention system as it means you are taking exactly the amount you want. I love a tapas style meal so the choice of around 30 dishes was heaven, even for the confirmed carnivore that I am. The locally sourced ingredients will put a huge dent into your five-a-day plan and possibly your eyesight - the food is colourful and quite bright; this could be Charlie’s very own vegetable factory minus Willy Wonka and a flying lift. As a first-time tofu taster, I was pleasantly surprised by the soft texture and mild creamy taste, comparable to a slice of mozzarella - not exactly a meat substitute, but when you have chunky curried aubergines, or Lebanese Tabouli on offer, the last thing you are left thinking about is a fillet steak, honest. It is mainly savoury dishes that tickle my taste buds, even so I was enormously delighted with the naughty but nice tasting desserts on offer: from rich chocolate mousse to apple turnover to fruit tiramisu, the proof was certainly in the puddings. Organic beers, wines and lagers are available to accompany your meal, making the comfortable yet trendy interior the perfect venue for a date, night out with friends or a recluse for just you and Mr or Mrs book. An average lunch including dessert and alcohol is £15 and dinner, £25 Tibits, 12-14 Heddon Street, London W1 www.tibits.co.uk

SELECTION OF VEGGIE TREATS AT TIBITS

amie Oliver, cookery guru, strode onto our screens over a decade ago with his unconventional style and pukka power. Recognised as a radical chef worldwide, the Essex boy has an MBE and was the winner of the 2010 esteemed TED award for creating a food revolution that stirred up the fast food generation and government, just as well as he stirred his pots. One of Jamie’s biggest achievements is Fifteen, the academy that trains disadvantaged youths to become chefs. Since its opening in 2002 and with ‘Jamie’s Kitchen’ on channel four the same year, Fifteen has been an ongoing catalyst, churning out graduates yearly, with a total of 96 having been trained in total this autumn. From the moment Jamie mortgaged his house as collateral for the project (without telling his wife,) these young students knew they had his full support. And the transformation of these graduates has been immense; many of these former students are nurturing their contemporaries and instilling Jamie’s philosophies wherever they can.

image by Chris Terry

Jamie himself spoke to Recognise “Fifteen will always be my baby and it’s fantastic that most of the graduates are still working in the industry, some of them head chefs, some of them working towards opening their own places – Tim Siadatan, one of the original Fifteen trainees has already done that and he’s getting fantastic reviews. Fifteen itself still trains a new group of young people every year and the profits from the restaurant are fed back into the Jamie Oliver Foundation charity and the apprentice programme.”

15 MINUTES OF FAME

The Fifteen course is unique – no-one else teaches so much. It sends the apprentices on sourcing trips, sends them mushroom foraging with Gennaro Contaldo and takes them up to Cumbria to learn about pig farming, slaughtering and butchery. And Fifteen doesn’t just have apprentices in the kitchen, there is also a brigade of trained chefs led by Andrew Parkinson who work with the trainees to make sure the food is of a high quality standard. They’re kind of like the experienced doctors training the juniors on the job.

Jamie genuinely did change my life

refresh

What are you currently doing with yourself? Well I’m Entertainments Editor at the Daily Express, which is obviously completely different to being a cook; it’s a job that I didn’t actually aim to do, it all happened in a very strange way. After Fifteen I was cooking in a Spanish restaurant called Fino’s, it was hard and I was doing eighty hours a week which was really killing me. A journalist from The Guardian came to eat at the restaurant and asked me if I’d keep a diary for her about what was going on in the kitchen. I wrote a slightly different piece and it got published on the frontpage of G2. The next day the Daily Mail called me and bought the article from The Guardian and they published it, then an Australian paper called The Age bought it from The Daily Mail and within days I was getting offered work as a food writer with Timeout, Delicious magazine and Olive Magazine. When it started to quieten down, the Daily Express offered me proper training, as opposed to being a maverick writer. Showbiz looked fun, and as there wasn’t a food section, I ended up in showbiz and I’ve been there ever since. I read on Wikipedia that the article you wrote for the Guardian is now part of the National Curriculum, that’s quite an achievement! In the article I joked that Jamie used to call me ‘big bollocks’ and years later somebody from the National Curriculum called me and said they’d like to use it for GCSE practise exams for English!

Elisa Roche Elisa Roche is now the glamorous Showbiz Editor at The Daily Express. One of the first batch of trainees and the only girl to graduate that year; Elisa was propelled into the spotlight and away from a chaotic life of not having a home or job. You were living in hostels when you got involved with Fifteen, how did this impact your life? Jamie genuinely did change my life. I’d done bar-work and waitressing but didn’t have a job, I went to the Jobcentre and had a look around and I saw an ad for C4 and Jamie. Have you always wanted to be a chef? I’ve always been an amateur chef, my mum’s Turkish and dad’s half French-Irish so we’ve got quite a cultural mix going on, it would be Irish stew night, and stuffed Turkish vine leaves the next.

Do you miss cooking? Yeah I really miss it, I come up to the staff canteen everyday and come back down saying “I’d love to run that canteen!” You were the only girl to graduate weren’t you? Yes, it was a lot harder than any of us could imagine, standing on your feet for fifteen hours a day, a lot of press interest, taking in a lot of new things, basically setting up a new restaurant and being thrust into a whole new world. Some people had never had a job before or attended school regularly, so for them to turn up every single day for a cooking course with TV cameras…I think the pressure got to them, it was really exhausting. Did it boost your confidence as a person? I felt special the day we got chosen, we were the final fifteen, I felt very lucky, I remember the very first day, it was a series of auditions and interviews like the X Factor. It was really competitive and there were thousands of kids from everywhere with white stickers on their lapels with a number, and you were just one of them, but eventually you got whittled down to smaller and smaller groups and you realised you were getting closer and closer to the prize.

What’s your favourite dish? I like to eat anything that I haven’t tried before, I’ve eaten crocodile, deep-fried crickets in chocolate, chicken’s feet where they’ve taken the fat out and stuffed it with herbs and vegetables, they were crispy and very nice. I love to make a risotto and I still remember Jamie’s friend Gennaro, a brilliant and crazy Italian chef teaching me how to make it. Now I make it his way, so I know it’s the authentic Italian approach. How do you give back like Jamie does? Jamie isn’t that much older than us but he’s a very influential guy, a big brother figure, we were part of a family. Every kid that goes through Fifteen now is instilled with that same sense of being part of a community. I mentor at the Catch22 Academy which is very similar to Fifteen but for journalism and if a Fifteen trainee gets in touch with me, I help them and I bet if they contacted anybody from the scheme they would help them in some way, it’s really nice.

Global Hotels You Ought To Resort To The concept of a luxury eco-friendly resort could end up a contradiction in terms. Hotels are notoriously bad polluters - towels and bed sheets washed everyday, air con on all day – and if you’re Benidorm – concrete monoliths. An eco friendly hotel on the other hand might conjure up images of Spartan existence – straw mats, hole in the ground toilets and a bucket shower. Not any more! Finally hotels are getting the idea that they can ensure low levels of pollution and yet retain a sense of luxury. We have selected a few that we think cater for all types of getaway – city break, spa holiday, romantic trip or family getaway - but they all have our approval with regards to eco credentials and luxuriousness. With cutting edge design and a list of amenities as long as your arm, each hotel demonstrates that choosing an eco resort should not have to be a sacrifice. compiled: ASHLEY AMAKOH

THE JADE POOL OVERLOOKING THE PACIFIC OCEAN

Post Ranch Inn, CALIFORNIA, USA

This hotel would be incredible even if it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t boast a thoroughly technologically forward approach to environmentalism. In an isolated area of natural beauty, Big Sur was immortalised by authors like Hunter S. Thompson and Jack Kerouac and still continues to inspire today. The lengths to which the Post Ranch Inn has gone to promote environmental stewardship and corporate responsibility are also inspirational. Central to its manifesto are conservation, energy efficiency, sustainability and also charitable giving and education. The hotel is set within 100 acres and is home to a number of indigenous species, some of which are rare and endangered. There is an onsite garden which is, as you would expect, entirely organic and provides for both the restaurant and spa. Even the honey which you eat and is applied to your face is produced by one of the beauticians who also happens to be a bee keeper!

THE AWARD-WINNING SIERRA MAR RESTAURANT

The Sierra Mar restaurant, as well as serving haute cuisine, supports small producers and the regional economy by serving free range meats and locally grown, seasonal fruit and vegetables. Even the crockery and glassware is made from recycled plate glass.The dĂŠcor of the hotel is luxurious and beautiful. The guesthouses are designed to blend into the landscape and the furniture was built by a local master craftsman. But these initiatives are pretty standard now in the world of eco tourism. Yet where Post Ranch Inn stands out is its use of new technology. In 2009 they installed 990 solar panels, the largest hotel solar project in California (and Californians are notoriously eco minded). They also created the first commercial wastewater system in Montrey County and their commitment to water monitoring and production is nothing short of unique. It is no wonder this venue was listed third in the top ten greenest hotels in the world.

Cousine Island, Seychelles

Cousine Island is one of those picture perfect tropical paradises that you dream about on your commute. The kind of place people have as a screen-saver to remind them that life isn’t all grey rainy days and queues at the cashpoint. One of the 115 islands that form the Seychelles, this island is privately owned and about as castaway chic as you can get. Accessible only by helicopter, Cousine Island can be rented as a whole, or if you are a couple, you can book one of the four villas that overlook the beach. There is an amazing spa and the cuisine can be tailored to your personal preferences. At eye watering prices, this resort is a once in a lifetime destination, but the luxury of it is truly breathtaking. As for the environmentalist aspect of the resort...the owners aim to “promote and practice nature conservation and wise use of natural resources of the island and its surroundings and to share this philosophy with its guests.” Indeed the resort has participated in extensive conservation work, from replanting trees to rescuing giant tortoises and reintroducing indigenous varieties of birds. Guests can participate in these activities and snorkelling and nature excursions are on offer to get up close to the flora and fauna. The island is a leader in national environmental issues and thought to be a successful model in marrying luxury tourism and conservation.

The Good Hotel, San Francisco, USA

THE MINIMALIST CHIC LOBBY

The Good Hotel is located on 7th and Mission and they have their own ecomission: “our philanthropic and positive approach is designed to inspire the good in us all.” And how does this hotel achieve that exactly? Well, with humorous touches such as vending machines in the lobby stocked with wallets made from FedEx envelopes, light fixtures constructed from glass bottles and reminders to ‘be good’ written on the walls. All the 117 bedrooms have furniture made from reclaimed or recycled materials, but are also well appointed with flat screen TVs, complimentary internet connection and iPod docks. For food look no further than the in-house pizzeria GoodPizza, that makes the best artisan thin crust pizza in town. They aim to support northern Californian farmers and food producers and even grow their own herbs, whilst the packaging is biodegradable and compostible. The hotel has even thought of eco transport they have six Globe® bicycles available for hire and hybrid car owners get to use the parking facilities for free. Perfect for a city break, this affordable hotel marries cool design with unique touches, great pizza and a fun attitude. We think they need a better superlative with which to describe themselves!

NIGEL MANSELL SWAPS HIS FAST CAR FOR A PUSH BIKE

reverse

his year marks the charity UK Youth’s 100th anniversary and it has launched the theme ‘Positive About Youth’ for 2010 to promote a positive message about young people, to empower youth to increase their opportunities in life and to give a wider recognition to their achievements. Through its fundraising activities, UK Youth is able to run innovative projects and programmes across Great Britain. British Formula 1 World Champion Nigel Mansell has been President of UK Youth for eight years, and has been involved with the charity for over twenty years. To mark the centenary year, Nigel, along with his sons Greg and Leo (who are both racing drivers like their father) and Tour de France stage winner Magnus Backstedt embarked on an extraordinary fundraising challenge to cycle 1200 miles around Britain in just 13 days, visiting projects and youth centres along the way. Recognise caught up with the team and representatives from UK Youth as they were waved off on the first morning of the cycle challenge by HRH Prince Michael of Kent at Kensington Palace in London. They told us about the work of UK Youth and the 1200 mile task ahead, which saw them take a route via Cirencester, Cardiff, Worcester, Chester, Blackpool, Carlisle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Hexham, Harrogate, Lincoln and Silverstone before passing their finish line at Canary Wharf on 3rd August.

The President of UK Youth: Nigel Mansell “I’m really excited about the challenge; it’s an almost magical start at Kensington. We’re totally amateur bike riders and we know it’s an audacious attempt and it’s going to be very tough, but we will do it and we want to inspire youth and be positive. If someone my age can do 1200 miles in 13 days I hope that it inspires a lot of young people to do things for themselves. We also aim to raise a lot of money to put towards education and opportunities through UK Youth.

ABOUT YOUTH

This issue of Recognise is all about the next generation, and the charity UK Youth is doing all it can to help the children of Britain realise their potential. We caught up with Formula 1 legend Nigel Mansell to find out more... words: REBECCA BANKS photography: NEIL RAJA

I’ve been involved with charities for 25 years, I’ve been president of UK Youth for eight years, I’ve been running golf tournaments with them for 15 years and I’ve been involved with this particular charity for over twenty years. I was inspired back in the early Eighties when I was in Formula 1. I was very grateful for the opportunity I had in the sport thanks to the chance that I was given by the late, great Colin Chapman [of Lotus] and Sir Frank Williams and I wanted to put something back into society. UK Youth is a conglomerate of 7,000 youth clubs and we have nearly 45,000 volunteers that reach up to 750,000 kids in this country each year. That’s a statistic that is unparalleled and we are up there as one of the largest charities. We are, if you like, one of the best-kept secrets so we really want to create a visibility in this centenary year. We will visit a lot of these youth clubs during the 13-day ride to create awareness and fundraising. Children are the future of this country and the world and I think our slogan for the centenary year ‘Positive About Youth’ is just so apt because without being positive about youth, we can’t be positive about life. I asked myself how to inspire people to give to charity in these tough times and I think it’s by doing something out of the ordinary and this cycle challenge is something

ALL ELECTRIC / ALL TERRAIN Nearly 10 years ago, national champion cyclist, bicycle innovator, and NASA aerospace engineer Dan Hanebrink designed a super-bike following a request by an Arctic explorer to build a bike that could take him across the harsh Antarctic terrain. Since this project, the Hanebrink has developed into an all-terrain and season hybrid vehicle for outdoor enthusiasts with admirable environmental credentials. The HANEBRINK runs on a 600-watt brushless electric motor, and is fitted with five lithium ion batteries which provide a running time of over six hours for 100 miles of riding — enough to get you from London to Bristol on or off road. With zero carbon emissions and capable of reaching speeds of up to 20mph this is a very fast piece of green technology. However this kind of fun doesn’t come cheap—the Hanebrink retails at a starting price of $4,995 and is not yet available through UK stockists. Bikes can however be purchased via www.fortunehanebrink.com and will be shipped from Los Angeles for a further $1,000.

OLD SCHOOL COOL

Here we have a novel way of getting around on four wheels, or technically eight... no, not some new, amazing multi-wheeled electric car, but the humble inline-skate. Not so humble any more, even the name is evocative of energy – the Greenline Skates BY POWERSLIDE are the latest in inline-skating. Not only made from a minimum of 25% recycled materials, hemp and no fibreglass, the materials come from within 100km of the manufacturers to minimise fuel and transport costs. They have a retro look about them with their canvas uppers and bamboo frame, which we love, and yet they somehow manage to look like serious sports equipment. They look so cool and professional, you may want to practise your own powerslides – after all, you don’t want to be seen stacking it in the park. www.powerslide.de

ALL WHITE?

We make you feel all white with these green gadgets to brighten up your winter

words: CHRISTINA BRAGG For commercial and private use, this CASIO GREEN SLIM projector is the world’s first mercury-free high brightness projector (mercury is a highly poisonous element and damaging to the environment). The lasers and LED semiconductors, which provide an alternative to mercury, were not effective enough for mass production until now. The science boffins at Casio have come up with a solution: a combination of laser, phosphor and LED, to achieve bright green light (apparently the hardest colour to replicate from the spectrum) and enabling higher performance and better resolution. Not only this, Casio assures low power consumption - good for your carbon footprint and cost cutting. Science aside, we also want to know how easy it is to operate, so that even the technological dinosaurs amongst us can use it (we are thinking here of countless school teachers who seem to have an inbuilt inability to use projectors.) Well, we can safely say that Casio has ensured that this is the most simple and fuss-free projector to date, despite its “advanced functionality”. It has a simple start/stop function and both USB functions and wireless capability. And don’t worry about longevity - the projector has up to 20,000 hours of performance - or 13,000 football matches! It is up to you whether you want to see David Beckham projected to gargantuan proportions - it projects onto a screen of up to 300” - or whether you want to use it for gaming, home videos or corporate presentations. Prices start at £764 ex VAT, contact projectors@casio.co.uk for more details.

Since we are a nation renowned for our wet weather, we may as well make use of the rain instead of grumbling about it — collecting rain water is 100% energy efficient and renewable. The HERO 365 RC-1 rain collector sits under the downspout to collect water from under the eaves of your house, can hold 45 gallons and is well designed to be easily accessible with a watering can. Rain water is filtered to keep out debris and bugs and is contained in a phthalate-free bladder. Available for £399 from www.bauoutdoors.co.uk

The Ovopur is a water filter that looks more like an art piece. Water moves from one reservoir to the other via the Aquacristal filter, made up of carbon, metal alloys, terracotta powder (who knew pottery could clean your water?) and quartz crystal, which remove impurities from the water. The filter is recyclable as is the entire product. The egg shape allows for what AquaOvo calls biotic movement, which prevents stagntation but also looks very pretty and natural. £poa Visit www.aquaovo.com for more information

Textile designer and weaver, Annemette Beck (another Dane – they are a stylish lot!) is renowned for using unexpected recyclable/ renewable materials in her designs, such as paper, yarn, rubber and metals. We love her rubber rug made from reclaimed bicycle tyres. It is industrial looking but quirky and definitely a talking point in any room. Beck designs to the clients needs and this bespoke edge makes it all the more special. Visit www.annemette-beck.dk for more information and to request a bespoke design.

Sean Miller wanted to give a second life to discarded magazines, not wanting to think that the love and attention given to each issue would disappear into a landfill. Therefore, he upcycled them into these NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC shelves. The ubiquity of magazines means that they are almost a renewable resource themselves - they can be easily stacked and moulded into a hard structure that can be affixed to the wall. Sean picked National Geographic for its iconic looks and worldwide reputation. Each shelf is made from 80 magazines stuck together using a solution of water and starch – no nasty industrial chemicals here. After some drilling, sawing and general DIY, you have colourful recycled shelves. So far only a prototype, we hope this unique idea goes into large scale production.

TWO DOORS, ONE VOICE... interview: CLEO DAVIS

replay

true product of the noughties, three seventeen-year-olds decided to avoid student debt and form a band with original content and beats. Two Door Cinema Club started out with just a cheap laptop but have now been given the nod from the BBC’s Sound of 2010 Poll.

years, and all the things we’ve sacrificed, all the friends, all the people who we hadn’t seen for years because we were recording. It was a relief to finish but we definitely felt like we had achieved something good and hadn’t wasted our time.

Proving that Northern Ireland can produce some quirky new sounds rather than the droning acoustic or banging heavy metal, TDCC’s popular indie electro sound has been snapped up by hip Parisian record label Kitsune.

What did you have to sacrifice? Seeing our families, who are back in Northern Ireland, and unfortunately, Ireland and Northern Ireland aren’t very big in terms of touring. But I think I’m lucky enough because I’m doing this with two of my best friends; we’ve been best friends since we were 14. I’m glad I’m not doing it with anyone else.

Since then the young lads have been creating a catchy and melodic furore and haven’t stopped touring since the release of their debut album Tourist History earlier this year.

Do the three of you ever argue? Of course…

RECOGNISE chats to Kev Baird (the foxy one, far left) and finds out about the Irish support that has backed them all the way, his family values and what he would change if he were Prime Minister for a day. Who would you say your musical inspirations are? When I was growing up I went to see bands that my friends were in. I would see them playing music and could tell they loved doing it, and that really inspired me and us as a band. As kids we’d be listening to our parents’ music, so we were always exposed to Stevie Wonder, Paul Weller, James Brown or Bob Dylan, that was in our early days, and since then we started listening to more rock music. We were massive Biffy Clyro fans back in the day, the first dance band we all loved was Daft Punk. Then we started listening to Death Cab for Cutie, Wolf Parade and The National from quite early on in their careers, and have followed them ever since.

What do you argue about? Girls? No, not really. Unfortunately, I don’t think any of us are very successful with the ladies. I think we’re too nice, we don’t have the killer-instinct. Do you think you’ve changed since the days when you were writing in the garage? Definitely. I don’t think you can help it really. It’s quite funny, I think being in a band and being on tour definitely matures you. But things go the other way as well, so then you become dependent on your tour manager and living to an itinerary with someone telling you where to be and what to say; kind of like having a mum on tour! I guess when you don’t have that security of being in a position of having a student loan to help you out, you have to be able to manage yourself and your finances too. We’ve had to blag it into a fair few gigs before as well!

I’m not bad at cutting hair but not in a homosexual hairdresser way

Do you have lots of support back home in Ireland? Yes definitely. Belfast has a very strong music scene, a relatively uncharted scene. There are so many amazing bands and it’s such a small area so it’s almost quite scary, as you know everybody’s business. On the music scene everyone supports each other and helps each other out. Everyone is friendly regardless of what kind of genre of music they play, it’s just a really nice scene to be a part of.

You don’t think people get a little bit jealous because you’ve successful? No, I don’t think so. I think everyone is kind of aware of the fact that we worked hard. There’s always a debate about luck but now we’re in a position where we can help other bands and, in the same way we would look to bands to help us in the early days, to come and support us on our tours and things like that. So we have a lot of Irish and Northern Irish bands supporting us. Do you get compared with any other bands? We get compared to a lot of bands; a lot of bands that are different to each other. For example, we’ve been compared to Death Cab for Cutie, Broken Social Scene, Vampire Weekend and Phoenix. What has been the best moment of your career so far? I think the proudest moments were the day we completely finished recording and when our album was released. The summing up of everything we’ve worked for over the past four

So, you’re obviously cinemagoers, what is your popcorn of choice? Salted, always. Do you have any hidden talents? I’m not bad at cutting hair but not in a homosexual hairdresser way. I cut my own hair, I used to cut all of the boys’ hair (Alex and Sam, pictured middle and right) and I cut all of my friends’ hair. I’m handy to have on tour.

If you could be Prime Minister for the day, what law would you enforce? I would reduce tax on alcohol and cigarettes, definitely. Who is the best looking in the band? I think Sam is really coming into his own right now; he’s looking really dapper these days. If you had one day left to live, how would you spend it? I was going to say something really cheesy and be like ‘do another show’ or ‘do another gig with the band.’ But I think I would actually like to spend it with my closest friends and family… and have a party of course and do everything I wouldn’t normally dare to do... Having just returned from Australia, Japan and Korea, TDCC continue their hectic touring schedule into the winter of 2010, with a UK tour throughout September (including back-to-back sold out O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire gigs). October sees the band head back out to the U.S. before rounding off an incredible year with a European and Irish tour. For a full list of dates and ticket details head to www.twodoorcinemaclub.co.uk
