<p>Event managers often face the common question of how to hire bands by the party hosts. Rather the question is what exactly needs to be considered before hiring a band?. The answers to these questions are quite a few. Some may suggest to <a href="http://www.souldesire.co.uk/hire-band/">hire band</a>s which are within your budget or choose one according to the music you want to play. One may also hire bands that specializes in this kind of a party and can play music at par with the theme of the same.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The two best methods to <a href="http://www.souldesire.co.uk/">hire band</a>s are going by the kind of music and the kind of party or occasion they have to cater to. Remember that if you think of your budget as the deciding factor, then the entire thing will fall flat on the face. In case your budget is less, then the best strategy is to hire bands based on either of the two approaches mentioned above and then maybe reduce the no. of usicians in it in order to make it less expensive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hire band according to your music preferences i.e. what music would you like to be played at your party. If you want a dance party where your guests shake a leg or two on the beats of the drums, then hire band that can make the crowd groove and go mad on the dance floor. Again if the music preference is soft and soothing just to give a background score for the party, hire band that will set the mood of the party by its light instrumentals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thus, going by the kind of music to be played in the party, hire bands specializing in categories of rock, soft rock, live acoustics, blues, jive, swing, jazz, acid rock, death metal, dance, punk, pop, trance, house music and the like.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Secondly one can also hire bands keeping in mind the kind of party he is having. In recent days, live music bands market themselves by specializing in a particular kind of an event or occasion. For example, bands specializing in weddings can be hired for giving that extra special touch to any wedding ceremony.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Weddings are occasion where the invitee list consists of people from all age groups having different choices and tastes in music. Hence, a wedding band is one which is versatile, being able to play all kinds of music starting from the popular oldies to the latest pop hits, and taking special care about the order of things along with the mixing of the same is vitally important for a grand wedding ceremony. Moreover, ability to play romantic numbers or special music pieces during moments like when the bride is walking down the aisle or when the couple kiss, are few things that a wedding band needs to have up their sleeves.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Again, if we take the birthday parties as an example in contrast to a wedding birthday parties, hire bands that can set the right fun filled mood and spread birthday cheer. A Birthday party band should typically be able to create an enjoyable aura, by playing some good dance music and interacting with the crowd, etc so that everyone can have a good time on the dance floor.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thus, it is either of these two things that should be taken into consideration while hiring a music band, one is the genre of music you want for your party and the other is whether the band is a specialized one in your kind of an event. Having hired the band on such solid grounds, your basic work is done and you don&#8217;t have any worries anymore for the grand finale.</p>

<h2><a href="http://dual-mirage.blogspot.com/">Dual Mirage</a> is an independent publication in both Korean and English organised by Hyemin Son. It explores the identity of the Mirage that appears and disappears in urban spaces, with various participants: artists, architects, designers and theorists. Dual Mirage consists of three parts, and incorporates events spanning from Seoul to London, and in–between, that are related to each part of the publication.</h2>
<p>Here comes the summer! You are planning to travel this summer. In your everyday working life, it is the most fantastic and entrancing moment when you’re biting into your sandwich during your lunchtime and searching for the tourist agents. You haven’t yet decided where to go. You may go for an ancient temple in the east, a gothic castle in the west, an emerald sea in the south or even a beautiful mountain in the north. In front of your computer monitor, you’ve found the right tourist agent, but suddenly the advertisement of the tourist agent is slightly changing. All the words from the advertisement make a billowy wave that starts spinning in your mind.</p>
<h2>Dual Mirage Part 2</h2>
<h3>Tourists Dream</h3>
<p>Dual Mirage Part 2: Tourists Dream begins by presenting the moment when we are dreaming of travelling somewhere and what the engaging free and enchanting moment interprets in the global society. The place that we want to travel is somewhat in-between idealised and practical space, artificial and natural space. The moment longing for somewhere else other than here is as an instantaneous escape and is done in search of other utopia. It is presented as future and nostalgia. It is a mirage.</p>
<p>Tourists Dream also explores the mirage generated at the point at which the service industry circulates, within the ‘transitional space’. This is achieved by considering industries such as the tourism and hospitality industry, financial sector and real estate business, all of which are highly entangled with each other.</p>
<p><em><strong>Dual Mirage Part 2  Tourists Dream Contributors: </strong>Mora Bendesky, Hyunjoo Byeon, Oksun Kim, Uin Kim, Jungmin Kwon, Eunu Lee, Jeong-Hoo Lee, Sôm Lee, Hyemin Son, Gee Song, Juhee Youn</em></p>
<h2>Part 2 Event</h2>
<p>The event of Dual Mirage Part 2 consists of the launch of the book and also the video screening. The launching of the publication of Dual Mirage Part 2: Tourists Dream will be introduced by artist Hyemin Son. It is then to be followed by the video screening Tourist’s Dream by the invited curator Hyunjoo Byeon. Both the book and the video screening share and develop the idea of transitional movement in various aspects of global society, reinforcing the theme of tourists’ dream.</p>
<p><em><strong>Artists:</strong> Kyungah Ham, Yang Ah Ham, Stuart Hawkins, Adrian Paci, Lisl Ponger, Jaye Rhee, Hiraki Sawa, Bo Kyung Suh<br />
Curated by Hyunjoo Byeon</em></p>
<p>Accompanied by the launch of the book Dual Mirage Part 2: Tourists Dream, the video screening Tourist’s Dream draws into varied tourists’ dreams and the underlying political, cultural and socio-economical elements that construct the migratory movements in this age of global mobility. Through the artworks by eight international artists, Tourist’s Dream navigates how global mobility transforms the way to perceive the world and expands geographies by positioning oneself in a space away from everyday life; examining also the effects it has on the diverse migratory movements in our time. In addition, it explores mirages which tourism provides by rebranding spaces in a capital-saturated society and interrogates a fantasy to consume a given culture.</p>
<p>The artists emerged from their common interests in the issues surrounding today’s migratory movements such as tourism, the tourist industry, territoriality, cultural identity, mobility, dislocation, migration, and global communication initiate an essential convergence in Tourist’s Dream. Kyungah Ham’s Travel &amp; Journey (2003-05) investigates a fantasy to experience exotic cultures and cultural hierarchies in tourism by exploring the phenomenon of theme parks in Asia which replicate the symbolic monuments and landmarks of Europe and America. In her Tourism in Communism (2005), Yang Ah Ham travels to the only possible tourism area in North Korea, Mount Kumgang, developed by South Korea’s Hyundai Group. The artist depicts that tourism can be only a superficial exploration which is isolated from ordinary life, as the video was also shot on a touristic horse-drawn carriage. Stuart Hawkins playfully illustrates the artificiality of a touristic approach through her journey in search of the anthropologically perfect native CoCoMan in Souvenir (2006).</p>
<p>The journey reveals the pervasiveness of globalisation that is profoundly connected with the media culture, and it has caused a strange reaction in that it seeks out notions of pure cultural authenticity. Lisl Ponger´s déjà vu (1999) captures our desires for distant lands with its documentary sequences. This collective cliché of exotic otherness, combined with a series of narrations in various languages without subtitles, exposes the western-centered mode of perceiving the world and its hidden colonialism, consequently raising the awareness of our limited perception of reality. In Centro di Permanenza Temporanea (2007), which is named after an Italian refugee camp, Adrian Paci transforms an airport, a symbol of global mobility in our time, into a displaced space. A group of people standing on an aircraft boarding staircase represent migrants who are stranded “in between”, yearning for a better life, and thus an inhumane side of our ever-globalising world is revealed. Whilst Paci draws into the harsh reality of migratory movement in this age, the tiny humans and animals wandering around in the artist’s flat in Hiraki Sawa’s Migration (2003) poetically represent a restless journey in our lives and portrait our nostalgias in the global age. In Mediterranean (2009), Jaye Rhee creates her own Mediterranean setting in her studio with objects which embody images of the location of the Mediterranean. Rhee discloses how tourism and its industry construct common desires through distributing a signified image by envisaging the place with objects that can be found in daily life. In the work Citydel (2005), two separate videos parallel the passers-by looking at a girl in a bikini and a girl who enjoys her vacation on the artificial island in the Han River, which is located in the middle of Seoul. By creating a subtle rupture between them, Bo Kyung Suh questions what we dream for through traveling and where mirage exists.<a title="Dual Mirage Map" href="http://www.whitemercury.com/wp-content/uploads/dual-mirage-map.jpg"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<h3 class="post_head">Traditional economic models assume that people are self-interested in the narrow sense. If &#8220;homo economicus&#8221; &#8211; the stereotypical rational actor in these models &#8211; finds a wallet on the sidewalk, he keeps the cash inside. He doesn’t leave tips after dining in restaurants that he will never visit again. And he would never vote in a presidential election, much less make an anonymous donation of money or time to a presidential campaign.</h3>
<p>This posture stems from the so-called free-rider problem, a cornerstone of rational-choice theory. The problem, as described by Mancur Olson in his classic book, “The Logic of Collective Action,” is that even those who share a presidential candidate’s policy goals will reap no significant material advantage by donating their time or money. After all, with cash donations legally capped at $2,300, even donors who give the maximum have no realistic hope of influencing an election’s outcome. Nor can any individual volunteer — even one whose efforts resulted in hundreds of additional votes for his candidate — realistically hope to tip an election.</p>
<p>Although the logic of the free-rider problem may seem compelling, people’s behavior strikingly contradicts many of its predictions. Die-hard proponents of self-interest models sometimes counter that by becoming involved in campaigns, volunteers reap a variety of personal advantages. They often meet interesting people, for example, or they may learn about attractive employment opportunities. Major donors, for their part, are often rewarded with ambassadorships or other prominent positions when their candidate wins.</p>
<p>Researchers at the intersection of economics, psychology, sociology and other disciplines have had interesting things to say about the anomaly inherent in collective action. Albert O. Hirschman, an economist at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, was one of the first to grapple seriously with it. In his 1982 book “Shifting Involvements,” he acknowledges that self-interest indeed appears to be the dominant human motive in some eras. But over time, he argues, many people begin to experience disappointment as they continue to accumulate material goods. When consumption standards escalate, people must work harder just to hold their place. Stress levels rise. People become less willing to devote resources to the public sphere, which begins to deteriorate. Against this backdrop, disenchanted consumers become increasingly receptive to appeals from the organizers of social movements.</p>
<p>Eventually, Mr. Hirschman argues, a tipping point is reached. In growing numbers, people peel away from their private rat race to devote energy to collective goals. The free-rider problem ceases to inhibit them, not only because they now assign less value to private consumption, but also because they find satisfaction in the very act of contributing to the common good. Activities viewed as costs by self-interest models are thus seen as benefits instead.</p>
<p>From an informal survey of 20th-century American social movements, Mr. Hirschman concluded that these cycles have an average duration of about 20 years. But sometimes patterns take much longer to recur.</p>
<p>Self-interest is surely an important human motive, perhaps even the most important motive much of the time. But it is never the only important motive. And during at least some moments in history, narrow self-interest models miss the essential story line completely. This may be one of those moments.</p>

&#8220;I could run through the world now, tyranny by tyranny and virtually every one of them is backed by the United States. It only stays in power, because of the United States. The Pakistan example, which is the perfect crystallisation of this; a soldier called &#8216;The General&#8217;, called himself a president, you&#8217;ll remember that, president Bush couldn&#8217;t remember his name, he was blaggarded by everyone, put on the black-list, pushed out of the commonwealth, subjected to an arms embargo and on September the 12th, a huge red carpet was rolled out in front of him and we all started calling him president, and this mistake you&#8217;ve (the United States) played out, over and over and over again, all over the world. You&#8217;ve backed dictatorships and tyrants; and now you come here bucolically speaking against dictatorships. What hypocrites you are.&#8221;</h3>
<h3 class="post_head">Robert McGeehan:<br />
&#8220;You just don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re talking about on this as well as everything else&#8221;</h3>

&#8220;we&#8217;ve already worked out that I&#8217;m stupid and the 80,000 people who elect me every 4 years, they must be stupid too. We&#8217;re all out of step except Uncle Sam over here, the whole parade ground.&#8221;</span></h3>

<h3 class="post_head">Sure it feels like the end of the road for what is a light entertainment/Factual show&#8230;<br />
Or Cruelty TV as we knew it&#8230;</h3>
<p>Racism was the last taboo, these type of show had never tackled. While class war, sexism, etc&#8230;had already been through the big brother machine&#8230; Having said that&#8230;Isn&#8217;t it the very function of CBB and his &#8216;brother&#8217; show BB to higlight the ills of our society and to somehow weather the storm&#8230;?</p>
<p>And my point is&#8230;although I feel for the poor Shilpa&#8230;.she is actually &#8211; bless her &#8211; bearing the brunt of what a lot of us are experiencing on a daily basis whether at work or at school or while being stopped and searched in the streets&#8230;.She is almost a martyr for a just cause&#8230;.</p>
<h3 class="post_head"><u><img src="http://www.whitemercury.com/articles/events/images/2_128208_1_248_002.jpg" class="imageleft_top" alt="Shilpa Shetty crying on Celebrity Big Brother 2007" align="left" height="200" hspace="10" width="260" /></u></h3>
<p>If a stunning &#8216;princess&#8217; out of Bollywood&#8217;s finest can suffer racism &#8230;then it says a lot about what ordinary Asians (and others by proxy) are going through on a daily basis&#8230;.<br />
If people are ready to behave in such a way on National Tv&#8230;then it says a lot about our society&#8230;and I am not only talking about Jade who has been made the &#8216;EscapeGoat&#8217; (To use a Goodysm) but also Danielle and Jo, who often were more plain in their speech, albeit behind closed doors and far away from Shilpa&#8230;.</p>
<p>If people can reach the level of &#8216;fame&#8217; and income reached by the three Witches and still behave so appallingly against a particular individual while displaying a level of ignorance and miseducation seldom seen on National Tv.. it does say a lot about the society we are living in&#8230;</p>
<p>Rather than brushing it under the carpet let&#8217;s expose the ills of our society in prime time TV. And yes (poor Shilpa) thank you for your grace and dignity in such a horrid time&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.whitemercury.com/articles/events/images/genImage_000.jpg" class="imageright" alt="Celebrity Big Brother housemates 2007" height="274" width="450" /></p>
<p>I also applaud the 30 000 peoples whichever background they are hailing from who complained about her treatment. Ultimately, the producers are rubbing their hands and seemed to be willing to keep that storyline alive&#8230;Although I was for the show to be kept on-air, they also have a duty of care for the people they do invite on the show and if their livelihood or safety might be at risk by appearing on a Tv Show, then they should take their responsibility of course and inform the &#8216;contestants&#8217; properly.</p>
<p>Next? The &#8216;storm&#8217; will hopefully go away, new standards of behaviors and etiquette will be introduced on national Tv&#8230;As for our daily lives? Do not expect much I suspect, although Gordon Brown must have just been able to salvage the Anglo-British trade relations. As for Jade, who is said to be on &#8216;suicide-watch&#8217;&#8230; I suspect her camp has hired the PR machine that got Kate Moss off the hook and turned cocaine addiction to &#8216;Cocaine Chic&#8217;&#8230;.What will be the PR Buzz word for that: &#8216;Goby Chic&#8217; &#8230;&#8217;Chavy Chic&#8217;&#8230;? But I&#8217;m just an old cynical&#8230;</p></div>

<h3 class="post_head"><img src="http://www.whitemercury.com/wp-content/uploads/alien-nation-ica-2006.jpg" class="imageleft_top" alt="Alien Nation Exhibition at the ICA" />The Private view of the &#8216;Alien Nation&#8217; exhibition at the ICA on the 16th of November was interesting&#8230; It was an exhibition about &#8216;Alien Art&#8217; a direct homage to the 50-60&#8242;s early 70&#8242;s Alien movies which mostly reflected the anti-communist, xenophobic &amp; anti-nuclear fears of the time.</h3>
<p>Few masterpieces came out of that strand but vintage Serie B or Z movies completely outdated and so much visually enshrined in their time. The wacky special effects and the non-existent acting or dialogues were there to reinforce the feeling of uselessness those films carried throughout their non-glorious runs in theater. Although a mostly US phenomenon, Japan had its own version with the &#8216;Godzillas&#8217; and only the maverick and young Turks of the late 70&#8242;s, 80&#8242;s with the likes of Lucas (Star Wars) Cameron (Terminator, Alien ) Ridley Scott ( Blade Runner, Alien) really took the genre seriously enough to invest the time and funds to create proper storyline and build new worlds&#8230;</p>
<p>It is hopefully the start of a wider campaign towards the recognition of sci-fi comic books, like Marvel, DC Comics&#8230; who can now command serious power in tinsel town, but have been overlooked by the art and literature establishment for decades. A good sci-fi movie is as good as his aliens or robots&#8230;should be the premise of any Do&#8217;s and Don&#8217;t of the Sci-fi rulebook. We had them in the top room with what seemed to be spaceship of a different order. Shinny made of metal pieces, jewellery and shinny artifacts&#8230;it does verge on the tacky but hey you are watching a spaceship here, so who is to say what is tackiness in the future? A wide range of artists, with the expected reference to Star wars and&#8230; Zapata&#8230;the Mexican revolutionary and his sidekick the under-commandant Marcos Downstairs&#8230; A few films, some paintings &#8230; a not homogeneous lot but a common thread that should enthuse a young and hip audience in search of space frisson. I recommend it if you are wandering towards the Mall on a dark afternoon. Just do not forget that laser beam of yours and those thigh-hugging Lycra pants.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><strong>On BBC&#8217;s Bias:</strong><br />
The BBC lacked insight and awareness of continental football when dealing with the World-Cup. As did ITV by the way. Luckily the BBC had Leonardo and Desailly to give us much more balanced view on the game. Obviously, they have played in different countries and had the ability to judge different systems, players etc&#8230; I enjoyed M. O&#8217;Neil and I. Wright but much more for the comical value of the duo. T.Venables and Gullit at ITV tried to rescue what was at time atrocious punditry but couldn&#8217;t really save the ship from sinking.</p>
<p><strong>On England:</strong><br />
I am a big fan of Franck Lampard and to see him being lambasted around chat rooms is painful, but he knows that by his high standard he has performed below anything I have seen from him in the last two years. A big let down, sure. Yes, the English players were not only over-hyped, but failed to perform when it mattered and showed a certain lack of erm&#8230;bottle in key moments. The big money players have to deliver in the money time and they didn&#8217;t: Three miss-kicked penalties&#8230;On that evidence, it should tell you that something wasn&#8217;t together in the mental and psychological department. I have heard that France and Italy for example had blocked all intrusion from the press and family before reaching the second round, where they were allowed a day of rest and visit before going back into siege/bunker mood.<br />
We now know who went to the finals.</p>
<p>The whole WAGS business/phenomenon was a real joke as well. Having your WAG making front page of the papers partying till dawn is not ideal preparation. A back to basics policy is required here. A real one that is! As for Mr Mc Laren, hopefully he will establish a more strict and austere regime, where players will think about football first and not about partying at Beckingham before the W-Cup. I hate to do that, because I really wished England would reach the semis. They did not and it is now soooo easy to throw bricks at them. But sometimes, they seem to present us with the right stick to beat them with &#8230;</p>
<p>Enough!</p>
<p><strong>Team of the Tournament</strong><br />
I will agree with the proposed line-up and complaint about the Makelele omission. I would not put Viera in the first eleven, but the second. Makelele has played the whole tournament and has been a stalwart at the heart of France midfield. I can only be frightened at the sight of a defense made of Cannavaro and Thuram. Those two were truly the best performers at the final in my opinion.</p>
<p><strong>Best 11</strong><br />
Buffon- Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Thuram, Lamm &#8211; C Ronaldo, Ballack, Makelele, Zidane- Henry, Klose<br />
<strong>Materazzi</strong><br />
Just have a look at this authentic DIARY of a Dirty player:<br />
No comment.</p>
<p><strong>Zidane</strong><br />
Best player of the tournament? I don&#8217;t know&#8230;We will never know to be honest. Yes against Spain and Brazil he was walking on water. What is the legacy left by a man who suffered racial abuse on such a day and could not keep his cool? You may need to suffer racial abuse yourself to understand what went through his head. Some lip-readers helped us decipher what was said:<br />
Z: &#8220;Ordinanza de tirare il costume!!&#8221;<br />
(Stop pulling my shirt)</p>
<p>M: &#8220;Taciti, enculo, hai solamente cio che merite&#8230;&#8221;<br />
(Shut-up wanker you only get what you deserve)</p>
<p>Z: &#8220;si e cio&#8230;&#8221;<br />
(Yeah right&#8230;)</p>
<p>M: &#8220;meritate tutti ciò, voi gli enculato di musulmani, sporchi terroristici&#8221;<br />
(That&#8217;s all you deserve, you muslim arse-holes! Bloody terrorists! )</p>
<p>Make up your own mind. Others publications are already handling the matter now. The war on terror was also present on the pitch somehow&#8230;.<br />
Going back to the football, ZZ was less efficient against Portugal who found a way to isolate him, however in the final he scored that incredible penalty a la ‘Panenka&#8217; and in the second half of the final he was pulling the strings in midfield. Overall, the tournament has been poor in offensive bravado and his sight brought all the lovers of the &#8216;beautiful game&#8217; together. Italy could have played Del Pierro&#8230;to give us a clash between two &#8216;fuoriclasse&#8217; (exceptional players) but all Italy wanted was to reach the penalties&#8230;sad.</p>
<p><strong>Footie &amp; Politics</strong><br />
Well, we have seen everything. From the non-event: Iran was expected to have its president arrested or summoned to court. To the non-threat from Germans, Dutch, eastern Europeans and English hooligans: Fantastic!<br />
To the amazing efficiency of German organization: Germany probably had one of the best organizations ever seen, although I was told that Japan&#8217;s in 2002 was excellent too. And positive results for the economy too from what I have gathered. A. Merkel ridding the &#8216;Klinsi&#8217; horse and jumping on the feel-good bandwagon, linking herself as Chirac did in 98 in France to a successful World-Cup campaign: re-election beckon&#8230;Who&#8217;s to bet against her now?</p>
<p>The Italians are still master at the dark art of &#8216;combinazione&#8217;. (Corruption, bribery,&#8230;) You would have thought that after the pre-1982 World-Cup season which saw Paolo Rossi among others being suspended for a year, that they would have learnt their lesson. Obviously not. I was still glad to see their president in Englsih talk about the country&#8217;s pride in victory&#8230; They face another ordeal in their own courts now. Call me cynical, but I will be surprised if anyone&#8217;s of substance get indicted. They will be remembered though, for their amazing performance in the semis against Germany. Probably the game of the tournament with France vs Brasil&#8230;</p>
<p>Ach Zidaaaane&#8230;.</p></div>

<p>Those events just showed us that words can be as hurtful as actions. From Aragones the Spanish coach calling T. Henry a &#8216;N&#8230;r&#8217; on a training pitch, to R. Atkinson leaving a mike opened at half-time of a game and delivering the &#8216;N&#8230;&#8217; word again&#8230;to Matterazzi saying whatever he said, probably in the heat of the moment and ZZ reacting probably in the heat of the moment, the way he did&#8230;</p>
<p>Football and its rulers are not under scrutiny. The racists and closet racists are not safe anymore. What was tolerated decades ago is no longer and the son of immigrants will not accept any tampering with their rights and pride.   Having said that, I don&#8217;t like the press game, which is trying to stir a story not out of the two main men, who both seem to regret what they respectively did, but through relatives, friends, lip-readers, anti-racists campaigners, far right so-called &#8216;leaders&#8217; etc&#8230;</p>
<p>Yes Italy plays dirty but so did Portugal and other nations and France wasn&#8217;t that clean either. This World Cup will be remembered as a &#8216;morally dirty&#8217; World-Cup from the negative tactics, to the poor refereeing and now racism&#8230;</p>
<p>FIFA has not been able to restore its dwindling image and proactive attitude in all those areas, as it is done in US sport on a regular basis.</p>
<p>The football authorities have to seriously start clamping down on racist behaviors or I can guarantee you that this is not the last incident of such nature we have seen on a football pitch, parole!</p></div>
