The Lady Annabella
A tribute to Lady Annabella Marczewska of Jesmond and Iconic Nevocastrian DJ
I first met Annabella Marczewska at a Women In Revolt gig, a bit of which is in this post about the late beloved Craig Puranen Wilson. She has probably become THE name DJ around Newcastle, there are other good ones but if you were to ask me for a great DJ in Newcastle, Annabella would be the first name on my lips.
Lead in music is Shocking Blue's "Send Me A Postcard" which I think captures Annabella's Spirit
This poem is her history from my perspective. It may be completely wrong, but hopefully, it is right enough.

Then spinning the sounds all over the show
Soul Funk Pop Ska Punk and class rock and roll
This girl is in the groove, she makes them dance
The sound wave queen, she leaves nothing to chance

Kaleidoscope
Life is a constant challenge, and we cringe at the down times. There's one thing that it's not: boring. Β Have you noticed that nothing is one-dimensional? Our relationships are dynamic and viewable from many perspectives. We live in a varied, multi-cultural world; with such a melting pot, people bring varied views to the table. Hence, our situations are varied and dynamic as well.

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge β well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heleddβs dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morganβs writing is atmospheric and exciting.
