Mindful tasting mindup11/18/2023 Developed by a team of experts focusing on four pillars: neuroscience, social-emotional learning (SEL), positive psychology and MindUP was created in response to the global epidemic of childhood aggression, anxiety, depression, and suicide. MindUP™ | The Goldie Hawn Foundation is a not-for-profit organization founded to help children develop the mental fitness necessary to thrive in school, work, and life. How was MindUp for Life started and what is its mission? Learn more about the incredible things this organization is doing in our Q&A with Carrie Patterson, Managing Director at MindUP, below.ġ. ONEHOPE has proudly donated $25,000 to MindUP to provide 10,000 children with the resources, education, and support needed to thrive in both school and life. ![]() Local East-Anglian three-piece rock-trio Gaffa Tape Sandy are one of the first acts to play Latitude 2022 and they’re obviously brimming with talent.This month, we’re partnering with MindUP for Life: The Goldie Hawn Foundation, to raise funds and awareness for children’s mental health. They bring a special, warming energy to their set. To a degree, as one of the closest, largest festivals, it’s a homecoming for them. There’s a crowd to match at least.įor 1:30pm on a festival Friday, the tent is packed out. There’s a clear reason why people are here the songs are class acts in songwriting – tracks like Beehive stand out and they bring an energy to match. It’s bright and ferocious power pop at its best. The set ends sweetly as the band take a photo with their packed out audience.īrighton-based new-wavers KEG make the Sunrise Arena their own in the afternoon. Since building a name for themselves with instant-hits and radio-play, their chaotic live shows have perpetuated themselves across the UK. KEG work remarkably well in a festival-setting. ‘Merch drop’ shouts Albert Haddenham as he launches taped-up T-shirts into the crowd during a breakdown. They’ve got a Devo irritability about them, the guitar work on Heyshaw for instance has that strange anxiousness of Too Much Paranoias. They’re a tight band and they know how to stir up an audience. There’s plenty of comedy there and silly grooves. They’re a band whose live performances are full and fun. The Alcove stage holds much of the afternoon’s more threatening sounds. With shrieking guitar noise and two bass guitars, their sound is stark. The percussion sits minimally behind everything – think Jesus and Mary Chain and early Velvet Underground. They’re a mostly all-female group and they emphasise that they’re operating in a genre where that sort of thing is unusual. ![]() Their attempt to ruffle the post-punk authority’s feathers is summed up by singer Róisín Nic Ghearailt holding aloft one of their tote-bags with ‘Ghost a Post-Punk Boy Today’ emblazoned on it. Their only male member, Sean, stands with his back to the audience for the whole set. Róisín is unafraid of getting friendly with the crowd, trying to stir what is largely a sparse audience – though I can’t imagine that’ll be the case for long. Róisín’s bored vocals, the noisy, abrasive guitar, and biting bass lines are a fearsome cocktail. Not to mention the importance of their message – it’s refreshing to have post-punk music from another perspective. Opus Kink and Crack Cloud conclude the evening in the Alcove. ![]() Opus Kink’s glorious Fat-White-come-Nick-Cave sleazy, yet groovy grandiosity saxophone and trumpet bringing heat to their chaos. Lead singer Angus Rogers contorts his gangly limbs on stage, covered in dirt, while both brass players dance and spar around stage-right. A band so completely absorbed by their own music that they become visually part of it is captivating. It doesn’t take long for them to win the crowd over. They’ve got the energy of a band on the conveyer belt up the music rankings. Drummer, Fin Abbo, takes on a drum solo towards the end of the set and concludes the argument the band have made throughout their performance.
