The singalongs during the closing Live Forever and Wonderwall can be heard for miles. Nevertheless, he is welcomed emphatically and plays an Oasis-heavy set with his voice in good shape. Gallagher is an incongruity on a line-up that is uniformly contemporary and where beats often bosh guitars. “There’s not many of them left.” He has a point. “Rock’n’Roll Star,” he says, introducing the first song. When the rain begins to pour, people scurry indoors and J Hus’s set becomes horrendously packed.Īn airplane messenger circles the site with the message “Jesus loves every 1 of you”, almost like an offer of salvation to rescue the grinding masses from further depravity. Nina Kraviz’s techno set cracks like the thunder that threatens above but getting into Palm House to see it proves incredibly difficult due to capacity issues. There’s then some velvet-smooth R&B from Mabel before Kelela’s more bass-heavy take on the genre Sigrid’s performance is a potent rush of sunshine pop as grey skies loom. Glistening synths, camp dance moves, live drums and bitterly ironic lyrics make for pop that is as fun as it is funny.
The party rages on, and Confidence Man’s bubblegum dance-punk is an invigorating start to Sunday. The xx, though, play a stirring headline set, merging stark intimacy with pulsing euphoria the sunset, rich in texture, sits perfectly with its tone. Her set becomes a disaster in 20 minutes, and she leaves the stage early. When someone requests an AJ Tracey song, who is on next, she gives them the finger. “Where’s your energy?” she asks, which makes them sink further into apathy. Manchester’s IAMDDB, who has found an unexpected sweet spot between jazz and trap, looks set for a glorious homecoming, but she’s fighting the audience immediately. Please get in contact with us if you want further information or updates about it, we really value your input.Failed homecoming. We want it to eventually be a heart of the community not a hindrance.
PARKLIFE SORT PROFESSIONAL
We believe that this project meets themes 4,6,8 and 9 of the Council’s Parks and Open Space Strategy as well as meeting Purposes 3,4,6 and 7 of the Corporate Plan for Exeter.Ī professional feasibility study was completed in November 2014 which along with master plans for the entire park, a quantity surveyor’s report and grounds testing also produced some different, more informed designs The point of the project is about the people it will serve. The building as a community hub can be used as a voting station, playgroup or for any number of community activities or groups. This could be through tennis coaching or new park sports like lawn bowls or FOLF (Frisbee Golf!). Basing the facility in the park will encourage people to participate in activities that can lead to healthy lifestyles. It is supporting people working from home by offering a work space or meeting venue. This community hub has created employment and is helping to make the park more economically sustainable. In some ways we think we all need a cafe in the park. We have been able to invite her, fetch her and introduce her to others at some of our events already – if a permanent structure was in the park just think of the potential for other people just like her.
She lives overlooking the park but since she has no family, is of limited mobility and very few support networks she is isolated. As an example we have met an elderly lady through our work in the park.
Parks are a ‘3rd place’ away from home and work where people can come together – we see Heavitree Park as a kind of community glue where people from all walks of life, all ages, races and religions can get to know each and support one another. This is supported be the The Mental Health Foundation report of 2010 that showed, amongst other things, 48% of people surveyed believed people in general were becoming more lonely. We now network and form community in a myriad of ways but busy individualised lives have led to an increase in social isolation, loneliness and depression, obviously not helped by the pandemic we are fighting. People are concerned that society is becoming more fragmented. The Hub is now open and you can book by emailing Kate Wilder.
