All Systems Go!

After a few weeks of getting ready, the first ArtSwarm show is all set and ready to live on Friday the 30th of March. I kicked myself (metaphorically) a few times after filming for repeatedly saying things like "each week" when the show is fortnightly (doh!) but on the whole, the first show is as good a start as the first ArtsLab show was on RedShift Radio those few years ago.

Show number one contains 27 minutes and 24 seconds of stuff, and lots of new videos and audio pieces to share, including some local arts news, a good mix. I did wonder about including local arts news, as ArtSwarm is global, and eternal (won't news be out of date?) but news does engage local people and groups, and I've made it more fun and entertaining in itself, by moving the news section into a Hungarian Vampire's castle.

Here's the line up. Onward to show two, and more refinement and art excitement.
