Bruce Springsteen encabezará el Hard Rock Calling 2013

Leave a comment

El Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, en pleno corazón del parque olímpico de Stratford (Londres), albergará su primer gran evento desde los Juegos del año pasado. Hard Rock Calling, uno de los festivales más importantes de Londres, regresa este año con un cartel realmente atractivo.

De este modo, el festival se traslada al este de Londres tras siete años celebrándose en Hyde Park. Para celebrar la ocasión, la edición de este año contará con un gran elenco de leyendas del rock durante el fin de semana del 29 y 30 de junio.

La sola presencia de Bruce Springsteen y la E Street Band en el cartel de este año debería ser suficiente para que los fans del rock pongan a punto sus guitarras imaginarias, pero este año el Hard Rock Calling subirá el volumen unos decibelios con un cartel que también incluye a Paul Weller, Kasabian, Alabama Shakes y The Black Crowes. No es de extrañar que este festival atraiga a más de 150.000 melómanos a la capital cada año.

El Hard Rock Calling se situará en el recinto ocupado el verano pasado por la pista de hockey. De este modo se trata de reconvertir el legado post-olímpico del Queen Elizabeth Park en un flamante nuevo espacio para eventos de este tipo en la capital.

Aquellos que planeen una visita al este de Londres no tendrán problema en encontrar alojamiento en esta rejuvenecida parte de la ciudad. Además, el portal de reservas de hoteles y eventos en Londres más importante de Internet, LondonTown.com, ofrece en su página una gran selección de hoteles en Londres a precios reducidos durante el fin de semana del festival.

The RE London Shoreditch hotel está situado a 3 kilómetros del parque olímpico y ofrece además excelentes conexiones con el centro de la capital. Reservando a través de LondonTown.com se obtiene hasta un 68% de descuento en habitaciones con dos camas individuales, con precios desde las 74 libras.

Por su parte, el Holiday Inn Express Stratford, sito a sólo 11 minutos del Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, ofrece ofertas muy similares: hasta un 63% de descuento disponible a través de LondonTown.com, con precios desde las 91 libras.

Michael Bublé ofrecerá diez actuaciones en el O2 Arena

Leave a comment

El canta-autor canadiense Michael Bublé volverá al Reino Unido a finales de junio para instalarse en el O2 Arena de Londres durante 10 días. Estas actuaciones, desde el domingo 30 de junio hasta el sábado 13 de julio, será la vez que ningún cantante masculino actúe tanto tiempo, solo excedido por Prince.

El cantante galardonado con premios Grammy y número uno en las principales listas, interpretará temas de su último álbum “To Be Loved”, además de los clásicos de su amplio catálogo de álbums; “It’s Time” (2005), “Call Me Irresponsible” (2007), “Crazy Love” (2009) y “Christmas” (2011). Bublé ha vendido más de 30 millones de discos en todo el mundo y esta es la oportunidad perfecta de presenciar al melódico cantante en vivo con temas como “Haven’t Met You Yet”, “Some Kind of Wonderful” y “Me and Mrs Jones”.

En lo referente al auditorio para tal estrella, el O2 Arena de Londres es realmente la opción número uno. Como pieza central del reformado Millennium Dome, el O2 es el primer auditorio de música de Londres construido para tal efecto, y tiene un aforo de 23.000. Durante estas fechas Bublé hará historia al intentar igualar previas actuaciones continuas de las leyendas de la música. Prince alcanzó el récord de 21 noches en el 2007, el fallecido Michael Jackson iba a hacer un maratón de 50 días en el 2009 pero no pudo llevarlo a cabo, y Roger Waters actuó seis noches como parte de su gira “The Wall Live” del 2011.

Encontrar un Londres hoteles para alojarse después del concierto no supondrá ningún problema con las ofertas que LondonTown.com tiene junto al O2. Ahora se puede reservar una doble con un fabuloso descuento del 64% en el Radisson Blu Edwardian New Providence Wharf desde 217 libras la noche. Si se busca algo más módico, el Ibis London Docklands, a unos diez minutos del auditorio, ofrece dobles con dos camas desde tan solo 73 libras la noche (incluye un descuento del 33%).

Legendary Spanish restaurant elBulli goes on display at London’s Somerset House

Leave a comment

For many of us ‘elBulli: Ferran Adrià and The Art of Food’, a new exhibition opening at the Embankment Galleries of London’s Somerset House on Friday 5th July 2013, will be as close to eating at the famous Spanish restaurant, its 50-course tasting menus, and its distinctive brand of molecular gastronomy as we will get – especially since it closed its doors in 2011.

The retrospective at the Embankment Galleries, Somerset House, gives visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Adrià’s unique cuisine. Chefs who worked at the restaurant under Adrià’s leadership included Heston Blumenthal whose restaurant at London restaurant, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, at the Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge ranks among the most prestigious London restaurants.

The multimedia exhibition at Somerset House offers an insight into the research behind each dish, revealed through handwritten notes and sketches. Also on display are plasticine models which were made for all the dishes – and the elBulli team invented 1,846 of them – used as a means of quality control for colour, portion size and position on the plate.

The London show is a taster of what is next for elBulli – Adrià intends to reopen in 2015 with a foundation to safeguard the legacy of the restaurant and to create Bullipedia, a central resource documenting culinary history and providing research material for chefs around the world.

In addition to the exhibition, which continues until 29th September 2013, there’s the chance to meet the man himself at ‘An Audience with Ferran Adrià’ on the opening night, Friday 5th July 2013, when he will discuss the afterlife of the restaurant, and his ongoing projects. Tickets, at £25, include a complimentary drink, and free entry to the exhibition (which has a standard entry fee of £10) until 9.30pm.

From 10th July onwards visitors can see two Embankment Galleries shows when they book a joint ticket for £12.50 (£10.50 concessions), £6.25 on Mondays (excluding Bank Holidays) which includes entry into ‘elBulli: Ferran Adrià’ and ‘The Art of Food and Miles Aldridge: I Only Want You To Love Me’, a major retrospective on the London-born photographer who has works in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum.

For more information on all exhibitions and restaurants, new openings and the latest events in London go to LondonTown.com where a wide choice of London hotels to suit all budgets, information on restaurants, bars and cafes as well as all the major attractions is provided.

Strawberry Fields in Mattituck, becomes a Field of Hope on Saturday, Aug 3, 2013 from noon until 8 PM.

And, upgrades are always available at no charge.”

“This is an opportunity to experience the church without walls as many people from many local congregations gather together to show our community real love,” added Pastor Mike Jankowski of Lamb’s Chapel in Center Moriches.

Dennis Bambino, a sought after speaker for churches, seminars and conferences, will be among the speakers at the Great North Fork Awakening. He is scheduled to speak at 6 PM on Saturday, August 3. Bambino has been ministering for over 30 years: as a church planter and Senior Pastor, ministering in 27 countries, Director of Christ for the Nations Institute of Biblical Studies and initiator of church and prayer networks.

Bunny Sigler Releases New Single “Forgive and Forget” June 18 on all Major Digital Music Platforms

Leave a comment

New Single Marks First Collaboration Between Business Partners Sigler and Entertainment Attorney Lloyd Remick

Los Angeles, CA, June 13, 2013 – Grammy and multiplatinum producer/singer/songwriter and recording artist Bunny Sigler has announced plans for his newest single release “Forgive and Forget,” a song written by his longtime friend, manager, business partner and attorney Lloyd Remick, that will be released on all digital music retailers on June 18, 2013. After 40 years of working side by side, Sigler and Remick collaborate for the first time as songwriters to share a story that touches the hearts of many.

“Forgive and Forget” dares to seek its relation to those who have mistakenly experienced a one-time indiscretion, pleading for his love to simply ‘forgive and forget.’ The single will be available on CDBaby.com and iTunes on June 4 and is currently available on Bun-Z Music and Records website at: http://www.bunzmusicandrecords.com.

Four decades later, the two continue to produce music in hopes of inspiring others, but never had Remick proposed the idea of producing his very own song. He came to Sigler with these sorrowful yet beautiful lyrics, and Sigler fell in love with the story. “Forgive and Forget” reaches those who have experienced a one-time infidelity and have from there on out, lived life of regret and pain. This song, and all other songs Remick and Sigler have composed, convey such real-life situations and evoke strong emotion.

“I believe that the music Bunny is singing can help change the world,” said Remick. “I know it might sound a little idealistic, but I believe music has the power to unite us.”

Sigler and Remick aim at providing emotional tales for their audience. In “Forgive and Forget,” they uncover a perspective of the story that has never before been told through song. As for telling real-life stories—this latest single will reveal just that.

Jazz Saxophonist Hulon Releases New Radio Single “Two in the Morning” to Smooth Jazz Stations Across The United States

Leave a comment

Smooth jazz and R&B saxophonist Hulon has returned with his newest single, “Two in the Morning” from his latest album After Hours.

Los Angeles, CA, June 13, 2013 – Smooth jazz and R&B saxophonist Hulon has returned with his newest single, “Two in the Morning” from his latest album After Hours. The single is currently available on iTunes and premiered at smooth jazz and urban contemporary radio stations June 3rd with a soon to be released music video to accompany that will be released later in June.

After the success of his debut album, First Impressions, Hulon’s most recent album, After Hours, has combined passion and confidence creating Hulon’s best tracks to date. “Two in the Morning” is the third single off of After Hours featuring Howard Hewitt on vocals who is a Grammy-award winner from Shalamar and Blood, Sweat & Tears. Also featured on “After Hours,” is 2012’s “The Voice” contestant and lyricist Gary Foote on their rendition of the Heatwave classic, “Always And Forever.”

Believing that “versatility is survivability,” Hulon breaks the mold of the typical urban jazz musician by showcasing a variety of styles and blending his love for the emotional healing power of music and the physical healing that he does. From hip-hop and country to orchestral and classical music, he’s influenced by every genre that inspires his versatility. He says, “I want to be inspiring to children and a good role model to them the way I have strived to be with my own kids. I’m really enjoying this journey every step of the way. As with medicine, I get great personal joy and satisfaction having people appreciate what I do. My time in the office is devoted to physical healing. But when I’m recording or playing live onstage, that’s when the spiritual healing begins.”

New Self-Help Book Release: The Third Vision: The Science Of Personal Transformation

Leave a comment

Physician, entrepreneur and professor, Dr. Francis H. Vala is pleased to announce the release of his new self-help book, The Third Vision: The science of personal transformation.

New York, NY (USA), June 13, 2013 — New Self-Help Book Release: The Third Vision: The Science Of Personal Transformation

Physician, entrepreneur and professor, Dr. Francis H. Vala is pleased to announce the release of his new self-help book, The Third Vision: The science of personal transformation.

This book introduces a new vision-a simple and comprehensive approach to understanding different aspects of humanity, and the complexities of this world, exemplified by a collection of extraordinary stories, and supported by a pile of science and evidence.

For thousands of years, humanity has been suffering from illnesses at individual, societal, and international levels. Anxiety, depression, prostitution, crime, and worldwide wars are only a few of these examples. Despite hundreds of spiritual, religious, and non-religious leaders, and in spite of tremendous advancements in science and technology, our collective problems are only growing. The question is why. What are we missing? The root of these problems points to one common element-not fully understanding the multidimensional human being. We cannot solve the dilemmas of humanity with the same mind that created them!

The book is intended to help the general population explore some of the most complex mysteries of our world and seemingly unsolvable problems created by mankind. It provides a fast track for personal and global transformation based on science and evidence, using a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual model. Many concepts have been borrowed from outstanding scientists, philosophers, researchers, teachers, and leaders in the past and present, and a few more have been added by the author.

The Third Vision is available in print and ebook format.

Cougars Pounce on Seattle to Crown Miss Cougar America 2013

Leave a comment

The Fifth Annual American Cougar Convention takes place on July 13, 2013, in Seattle WA.

San Rafael, CA, USA (June 11, 2013) — Contact: Tom Andrews, 415/507-9962

Single women who prefer younger men are invited to compete for the title of Miss Cougar America at the American Cougar Convention, Saturday, July 13, 2013, 7:30pm, at Volume Seattle at Pioneer Square, 172 S Washington St, Seattle WA.

The Convention is sponsored by http://www.SugarDaddyforMe.com, the world’s largest website promoting non-traditional romantic relationships. The website has four million members.

“Age discrimination is perhaps the most pervasive prejudice in Society,” says Mr. Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization, and Executive Producer of CougarEvents.com, who will also keynote The Convention. “Older women, in particular, are victimized by our youth-obsessed society. They are regarded as ‘non-sexy’. Supposedly males are only attracted to nubile 20 year olds found in the centerfolds of men’s magazines. The truth is that there are millions of men who find older women attractive, and we will prove it at tonight’s convention!”

Rich Gosse is America’s foremost authority on finding a romantic partner. He is the author of eight books on this topic, including The Cougar Imperative: Why MidLife Women MUST Choose Younger Men; Singles Guide to America; and A Good Man Is EASY to Find (“This is a great book!” Oprah Winfrey). His entertaining advice has been featured by ABC, BBC, CBS, CNN, CNBC, Fox, MSNBC, Oprah, Cosmopolitan, Newsweek, Entrepreneur, Business Week, Playboy, Playgirl, The Wall Street Journal, Toronto Sun, London Times, The Australian, The New Zealand Herald, etc. Mr. Gosse is available to the news media for interviews by calling 415/479- 3800. His website is http://www.richgosse.com.

The Convention begins at 7:30pm with the Keynote Address: Younger Men/Older Women: The Ideal Combination. Cubs (younger men) in attendance will select one Cougar to win the title of Miss Cougar America, who will win a free berth on the Cougar Cruise to the Bahamas, December 6-9, 2013. To be eligible she must be legally single, at least 35 years of age (proof of age required); attracted to younger men; and available to the news media for interviews.
