More cider, Darling? Magners donates 500 bottles for London Twestival

Posted on: 25 March 2010 at 1424 - Comment

British chancellor Alistair Darling may want you to pay more for your cider but at London Twestival tonight we just ask you to donate £1.50 for Concern Worldwide for a bottle of Magners.

Magners has kindly donated 500 bottles of cider free for tonight’s event at Cable and all we’d like you to do is to drop £1.50 into the bucket at the bar to claim your bottle. You’re unlikely to be able to buy cider for £1.50 a bottle in a UK bar for a long time!

See you tonight!

Change a life through education

Posted on: 24 March 2010 at 1810 - Comment

Well, it’s one day to Twestival. Woo hoo! We’re all so excited, we just can’t wait.

But before we dive into the fun and the frolics let’s focus for a moment. Focus on education.

For millions of people around the world, children and adults, education is a way out of extreme poverty. It can mean a way to earn money, support your family and live longer. It’s a way to reduce disease through health information. It’s a way to give girls the opportunity to have a life other than marriage and babies at a young age.

Education is a way to change lives.

Concern Worldwide is changing lives. And you can help them, right now.

If you’re coming to Twestival, fantastic, you’ve donated through buying your ticket and you can further donate on the night. If you’re not, get your ticket now by clicking the green button up there ^ near the top of the homepage or right here.

If you can’t make it to a Twestival somewhere, and there’s 175 to choose from, then you can still take part. You can follow @Concern to hear more about their amazing work, and you can spread the word! You can also donate via the widget at the top of the page, and not only will you see your name appear, you’ll have the knowledge that right now, today, you helped to transform a life.

Give someone an amazing gift, an education that will last their lifetime.

Thank you

——

OK, at a party attended by hundreds of people and with some cracking live acts and karaoke, you’re going to need to stay refreshed.

Luckily, London Twestival goers will benefit from 500 bottles courtesy of Vitamin Water, the company which not only makes water taste great but makes sure each drink comes fully loaded with great vitamins.

You can follow Vitamin Water on Twitter and if you’ve not got your ticket yet, here’s all you need to know.

Let them eat cake!

Posted on: at 1229 - Comment

We’ve got some sweet news for you! Visitors at tomorrow’s London Twestival will be able to tuck into delicious vanilla cupcakes from Crumbs and Doilies thanks to the generosity of word of mouth specialists 1000heads. The firm has bought 42 dozen cakes, which are decorated in the company’s colours with lilac, purple and white icing.

1000heads has been involved with Twestival since February 2009 and attends Twestivals across the UK in Edinburgh, Brighton, Bristol, Oxford, Reading, Birmingham and London, and around the world in Budapest, Helsinki, Vancouver and Doha.

When describing why 1000heads was getting involved James Whatley, director of engagement strategy, said; “We like people, we like talking to people, we like eating cakes with people. Nuff said.”

If you’ve not got your ticket yet, you can get them here. If you don’t, you’ll miss out on cake, simple as that!

Twestival? There’s an app for that…

Posted on: 23 March 2010 at 1544 - Comment

iPhone fans will be delighted to learn that a London-based firm has developed an app for this year’s Twestival. The Twestival App has been conceptualised, designed and developed over the course of two months by the Future Workshops team based in Spitalfields and The Noble Union, a digital design agency based in Fulham.

Future Workshop’s Mark Brooke-Smith said: “The App was built solely on a volunteer basis, because we love the concept of Twestival. It was great opportunity for us to use our skills for a good cause and to work with relatively tech savvy iPhone users.”

The app is available for free from the iTunes store, just search for “Twestival”. It allows Twestival goers to “tweet, meet and give”, the developers said. Users can log in with their Twitter ID and track both global and local Twitter streams via the relevant hashtag.

Brooke-Smith added that while for legal reasons Apple doesn’t allow in-app donations, people can donate via the Twestival website in their Safari browser.

London Twestival supports emerging musicians

Posted on: 22 March 2010 at 1534 - Comment

London Twestival is just three days away and we’re delighted to announce the entertainment for the night, which includes a number of emerging acts, some of whose tracks have been kindly donated to Twestival FM.

Master of Ceremonies for the night will be actor Paul Jackson, whose claims to fame include achieving the second round of X Factor, coming third on ITV’s Golden Balls, appearing in a major production of The History Boys and acting as a giraffe on London’s Burning.

Music will be provided by singer/songwriters Kal Lavelle, She Makes War, Zemmy (and band), and Jon Spanyol (and band). This means Twestival goers will be able to enjoy a mix of easy going, fun, upbeat music.

As well as having the chance to see these great acts, Twestival goers can create their own noises in our karaoke room.

If you’ve not got your tickets for Thursday yet then hurry! You can get London Twestival tickets here.
