Giant Digital

The Gigwise and Screenadelica stage proved to be a huge success at Soundcity 2013 with an art exhibition in the day hosting some of the best gig posters from around the world from a bunch of talented artists and designers! By night, Gigwise took the controls with an eclectic selection of the finest up & coming acts. Here’s Jazzhands bringing the roof down!…

Gigwise will be staging a series of shows in association with Liverpool Soundcity and Screenadelica from the 2nd - 4th May 2013.

Screenadelica is a hugely successful gig poster exhibition that in the past year has toured and exhibited across England, Europe and beyond. It’s essentially a ‘pop up’ gallery celebrating the art of the screen printed gig poster. Exhibiting the work of leading Irish, UK and international artists from the gig-poster ‘scene’, we host a wide variety of styles promoting the bands that the artists love, inspired by the music they hear. 

This year features: Anonymous Ink(US), Luke Drozd, Telegramme, WeThreeClub, Pobiak, Horse, L’il Tuffy(US), Michael Cowell, Billy Perkins(US), Hnadcooked posters, New Analog, Craig Robson, Justin Santora(US), Petting Zoo Prints & Collectables, Jacknife, plus more…

Gigwise was up for ‘Best Music Media Brand’. No, we didn’t win unfortunately - lost to NME - but we had a lot of fun with our friend Bez who was on our table supporting the Gigwise massive!

The Face of EntertainmentWise 2013 is almost here. This year we’re looking for a new presenter for our fashion section.

Whether you’re a career-minded fashion blogger who wants to make the jump from behind screen to in front of the camera, or simply someone with a passion for fashion with big ambitions to present, we want to hear from you!

The competition gives the chance for budding presenters to kick start their career by presenting for one of the biggest online entertainment news sites in the UK. Anyone can enter, entrants need to upload a 2 minute video showcasing their presenting skills, all of which will be carefully considered by our panel.

Each entrant will get their very own profile along with a star rating system where users will be able to rate their talents.

The competition will launch on the 8th April 2013 and will close at 12 noon 10th May 2013.

Finalists will be judged by a panel of celebrity fashion experts.

Here we have Shields doing a pre-gig session before the Gigwise Presents show at Shacklewell Arms in Stoke Newington. They produced a fantastic set to a packed out crowd and lit up a dull Tuesday evening for anyone that witnessed their mind blowing pop architecture!

Gigwise are proud to be the only non-print publication nominated for ‘Best Music Media Brand’ in The Music Week Awards 2013. The other finalists in the same category are Classic Rock, Gigwise, The Fly, Kerrang, Mojo, NME and Q.

This will be the first time a non print publication has been selected as a finalist for this category. Michael Baggs, Gigwise Editor said: “To be recognized alongside some of the biggest and most respected names in UK music publications is a brilliant result for Gigwise, especially as the only nominee without a print edition. Everyone who contributes to the website is extremely pleased with the MusicWeek nomination.”

The Music Week Awards takes place on the 11th April 2013 at the Brewery venue in Central London.  

Gigwise presents got underway with Newcastle rockers Shields taking the headline slot with support from Good Dangers to a packed out crowd at the Shacklewell Arms in London on Tuesday evening.  

A band filling to the brim with beautifully crafted guitar riffs sprinkling with a dash of sharp head thumping pop songs. Included in the set were songs like ‘All I Know’ and ‘A Simple Answer’ and of course the wowing cover of SBTRKT’s ‘Pharaohs’.

Yes, the one and only cheeky chappy cockney we all love - Danny Dyer, popped in to chat with our Entertainmentwise ‘Popdash’ presenter Sugapuff about his new film ‘Run For Your Wife’. Check out the hilarious results here…

The Viscount of Weymouth’s wife to be, Emma McQueen (real name Emma McQuiston) has a new cookery show on EntertainmentWise.

The future Lady Bath, who is due to wed Viscount Weymouth next summer, trained at Lamda before undergoing an array of cooking courses. Her talent and personality has attracted the attention of online media publishers who have subsequently given her a platform to showcase her culinary genius to a worldwide audience.

Emma, who grew up between London and Wiltshire, learnt to cook from her mother who has a love for English traditional cuisine, and hails Delia Smith’s ‘How to cook everything’ as her ‘kitchen bible’. Her interest in the science of food, nutrition and how it affects the body brought her attention to healthy eating, to which her new show will be the main focus, along with celebrity diets and favourite English dishes.

Emma said ‘I have an insatiable curiosity for new flavours and food combinations and often host dinner parties at home so I can share food I love with people I love’

She also added ‘Though I admire Michelin chefs, I identify more with the style of those such as Jamie Oliver and I am heavily influenced by Provencal cuisine.’
