Chris ‘Woody’ Wood Will Farquarson Dan Smith Kyle Simmons

AWSUM

Celebrity Interview

Since they first burst onto the music scene in 2010, Bastille has become one of Britain’s most instantly recognisable chart-dominating bands. Their hits, like Pompeii and Of The Night, have become global festival anthems, blaring out from stages across the world from Cincinnati to Zurich, from Cape Town to London, From Joburg to Paris. AWSUM News caught up with them on their recent SA tour.

Q You have gone from a relatively unknown four-piece band to one of the UK’s and the world’s best-loved indie bands, playing sell-out shows across the globe, at breakneck speed. How did Bastille happen?

A It all started with Dan and his songs and his laptop in his bedroom. In about 2010 we started playing in pubs and things started to take off and build and build. Pompei happened, and we ended up being known around the world.

Q Who are the Bastille band members?

Q What do you do to relax? What other things do you do?

A Woody: I play football very badly.

Will: Woody is kind of the dad of the group.

Kyle: Yes! Woody can change a car tyre. I think Dan might be able to, but I certainly can’t.

Dan: Well, I would try!

Woody: Kyle can drive a forklift truck.

Will: Although I can fly a plane.

Q You also make the popular Bastille mixtapes. Any more in the pipeline?

A The band consists of lead singer Dan Smith, drummer Chris Wood, guitarist Will Farquarson, and bass-guitarist Kyle Simmons.

Q What is the theme of Wild, Wild World?

A We are glad to let fans of our mixtape series, Other People’s Heartache, know that a fourth edition will be released soon. It’s a bunch of very weird covers, a bunch of new tunes, and some surprising collaborations. I can’t tell you what’s on it yet, but it will be out this year, with the new album to follow early next year.

A The loose theme of the album was that the world can seem quite messed up sometimes when you’re watching the news, but that everyone’s got to get up the next day and go to work – and that people, human relationships and friendships, stuff like that, are such nice positive things … there are no worthy intentions with the record or anything; we see each song as quite different. They are all little stories in and of themselves, but that was just a theme that seemed to just keep cropping up, in and amongst of the rest. I don’t know how escapable world events seem sometimes. It’s not meant to be really dramatic and it’s not a political record, it’s not meant to have any one kind of message – we’re just four idiots!

A We would love to simply keep producing music and if we can continue to play live as long as possible, that would be great. We are always thankful to be where we are now, but always looking to further expand and, of course, continue to write more records.

Q Who are your music icons?

A We’re all massive fans of the survival television show Naked And Afraid.

We stumbled upon it on the tour bus and became completely obsessed with it.

A That’s such a tough question. The Fugees, The Beatles. Bowie, Prince and Hendrix. Also Bon Iver, James Blake, Kanye, Frank Ocean, Sigur Ros, Christine and the Queens, Rationale. Yeasayer, Vampire Weekend … I could just go on listing artists for ages. It would also be good to have some comedy there as well. Regina Spektor is awesome. She’s an incredible songwriter, and her voice is amazing.

An Eggscellent Dish!!!

The first time I ate frittata I must have been about seven years old. It was served to me by my friend Paula’s mother, who was this short little Italian mama who loved to prepared delicious little dishes for us to eat after school, I loved the name of this open-faced omelette and felt very grand telling my mother in my best Italian accent that we had ‘frittata for lunch’. I went to bed that night saying the word ‘frittata’ over and over until I thought that I sounded Italian.

The Italian word ‘frittata’ derives from ‘friggere’ and it roughly means ‘fried’. I used to love watching Paula’s mother beat the eggs and cook them with mushrooms which she had simmering in golden butter, some Parmesan cheese and spring onions with a little bit of garlic, and then cook it all together over a slow heat and finishing it off in the oven under the grill.

She said that one should always first cook ingredients like mushrooms or tomatoes and zucchini first, as they have a high water content and would make the frittata watery and unpleasant. I have never forgotten her advice.

A frittata is a wonderful dish to serve to a crowd at breakfast and you can be made in a large ovenproof dish. What I like about a frittata is that you can clean the fridge out and put all the little bits and pieces into it and it always turns out beautifully. My friend Enzo makes the most delicious frittata using leftover spaghetti and lashings of Mascarpone cheese and Parmesan cheese – it tastes like heaven.

I love to make one with petite pois, Mascarpone cheese, Parmesan and mushrooms. There are so many delicious combinations, it’s up to you and your tastebuds. Try one for dinner or lunch or even breakfast – they are delicious hot or cold and make a great addition to a picnic.

HOËR MEISIESKOOL BLOEMHOF

Bloemhof naaswenners van ATKV-tienertoneel HMS Bloemhof se toneelstuk Wag ek kry gou my foon [en soos sulke goed] is op Saterdag, 7 Oktober in Kaapstad aangewys as die naaswenner van vanjaar se ATKV-tienertoneelkompetisie. Hoërskool Tygerberg se stuk Innie selle was die wenstuk en die Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool van Pretoria se klug Plekke! het derde geëindig.

Bloemhof se toneelstuk is gebaseer op gesprekke oor feminisme, die jong vrou se ervarings in 'n oorwegend patriargale wêreld en algemene vraagstukke waarmee veral tienermeisies worstel – onder andere dinge soos liggaamsbeeld (‘body image’) en aanvaarding.

Die geselskap het pouses met hul klasmaats gesels, hierdie gesprekke met hul selfone opgegeem en, onder leiding van dr. André Gerber, die skool se opvoeder in Dramatiese Kunste, hierdie verbatimgesprekke tot teks omskep.

“Hierdie stuk is brutaal eerlik en ontnugter die teaterganger – iets wat goeie teater sekerlik ten doel het,” meen mnr. Stephan Meyer, die skool se kommunikasiebestuurder. “Ons was altyd bekommerd oor hoe dié stuk ontvang sal word, maar telkemale verras deur die gehore se reaksies.

“Uiteindelik is dit teater wat vir ons leerders deur ons leerders geskep is en die voorreg gehad het om op 'n nasionale kompetisie tot 'n veel groter gehoor te spreek.”

Bloemhof se regisseurs, wat benewens dr. Gerber die talentvolle dramadosent Anél Joubert insluit, is as die fees se beste regisseurs bekroon, terwyl die geselskap as die Beste Ensemble aangewys is.

Die stuk se besonderse tegniese versorging sorg ook dat die Bloemhoffers die toekenning vir Beste Tegniese Aspekte inpalm.

Verder word die Bloemhoffers vir die volgende toekennings genomineer: • Stephanie Malherbe vir Beste Verhoogbestuurder • Marguerite Kruger vir Beste Beligtingsoperateur • Ziné Ebersöhn vir Mees Belowende Spel deur ’n Meisie • Talyah Greyling, Jana Liebenberg én Tarien Venter vir Beste Aktrise in ’n Ondersteunende Rol • René Cloete vir Beste Aktrise in ’n Hoofrol Dr. André Gerber word ook as skrywer erken en wen die erepenning vir Beste Nuutgeskrewe Teks vir die 2016-seisoen vir die toneelstuk Fragment wat hy vir Hoërskool Durbanville geskryf het.

Carl, die 4de gekeurde, het baie goeie tennis opgelewer en daarin geslaag om die 1ste gekeurde Devan Badenhorst van Gauteng-Noord in die finaal met 6/0 7/5 te wen.

Carl het ook vroeër vanjaar die Afrika Beker-titel gewen en was toe aangewys as die beste 0.14-seunspeler in Afrika.

Ikaya Primary hockey partnership Paul Roos Gymnasium, Boland Schools Hockey and Maties Hockey started a hockey development initiative in Kayamandi in May 2016. At least 20 boys (Grade 4s and 5s) from Ikaya Primary, who have never played nor been exposed to hockey before 2016, are now being exposed to weekly coaching sessions at their school by Maties Hockey Club members, Boland Schools players and many other hockey personalities from our area. The 2017 PRG Hockey Golf Day also contributed extensively to the players’ experience by donating hockey sticks, stick bags, shin pads, balls, gum guards, water bottles and their playing kit.

On Saturday, 23 September the u11 Boys hockey team from Ikaya Primary embarked upon the Heritage Day Hockey Festival at Hartleyvale in Cape Town.

This was their first ever hockey tournament and with only four training sessions on astroturf behind their backs, they went into the festival with high hopes!

These were their results: • Won 5–0 vs Khayelithsa • Drew 0–0 vs Langa • Won 2–0 vs Amy Biehl • Won 1–0 vs Grootbos

Podium position for PV’s cycling team

ATKV-Tienertoneel 2017 Vanjaar het daar ongeveer 3 000 hoërskoolleerders aan die ATKV-tienertoneelkompetisie deelgeneem! Daar was 100 nuutgeskrewe Tienertoneeltekste wat beoordeel is en tydens 11 streeksfeeste is die finale 15 toneelgeselskappe van skole gekies om mee te ding om die gesogte titel ATKV-Tienertoneelkompetisie-wenner.

Parel Vallei se Dramadepartement is trots daarop om wéér op nasionale vlak te kon deelneem en dat hul tydens die laaste rondte van die kompetisie (gedurende die Oktober-vakansie by die Kunstekaap Teater) deurgedring het na die top 5 met

die produksie Kopskoot.

Tydens die finale stryd het PV ‘n algehele 4de plek behaal en ook die toekenning vir Beste Verhoogbestuur ontvang. Die lede van PV se verhoogbestuurspan is: Zandelie Trollip, Steven Cohoe, Justin Burger, Franshua Kennis en Lucas Louw.

Akteurs Xander Venter en Stefan le Roux is ook beide benoem vir Beste akteur in ’n hoofrol! Geluk aan elkeen van die kreatiewe Parel Valleiers wat hulself so uitgelewe het tydens die kompetisie en hulle talente werklik verder ontwikkel het!

Parel Vallei’s cycling team successfully defended their place as one of the top five cycling schools in SA, when they ended 3rd in the boys’ category (out of 49 high schools) and 4th in the mixed overall logs during the October school holidays in Magaliesburg.

There were between 80 and 90 learners in each boys’ category and between 40 to 50 learners in the girls’ categories. Our top performer for the weekend was Joshua Burger who achieved a second position in the U/15 boys’ category. Well done, Joshua!

Individual results U/14 Boys • 20th Michan Van Lill • 40th Jacques Robbertze U/14 Girls • 11th June Kruger U/15 Boys • 2nd Joshua Burger • 15th Ben te Water U/15 Girls • 21st Mikayla Forrester

These Parel Valleiers formed the BLUE THREAD cycling force that made us proud by strategically working together as a team to accumulate as many points as possible to stay on top of their logs. They were not only riders in this competition but true brand ambassadors for PV! PV is proud to be part of the largest high school cycling programme in the world!

Saurabh Roychoudhury (Grade 9) has been selected to participate in the South African National Schools Debating Championship at the end of the year in the Eastern Cape.

He will be representing the Western Cape in the Junior Division after a weekend of trials' selection, two weekends of provincial competition, and participation in both the Boland and Rotary Debating Leagues over the course of several weekday evenings this year.

“As a highly reliable and committed member of his debating team, this accomplishment is as much a result of hard work and dedication as it is innate ability,” says Dr Zoia, the Head of Debating.

Benedikt Blomendahl (Grade 12) has been named one of the top Grade 12 performers in Accounting in the province.

This accolade came after he participated in the South African Institute of Professional Accountants' (SAIPA) 2017 National Accounting Olympiad.

A total of 1 750 students participated in this Olympiad and Benedikt's results placed him amongst the top three performers in the Western Cape.
