Interview with Rik

I interviewed Rik on Friday 19th March.
 How did the band form? What brought you together? And when?
we were friends since secondary school so its been a very long time,we also used to play as a band but doing covers and such till the band properly formed in 2005.

What is the best part about being in a band?
You get to hang out with your mates, have fun and we love making music.

Do you like the publicity you get? If any?
we have had reviews from NME so far.

What do you hate about it? Do you find being with the boys it can get too much in your face?
Yeah, when you are with the boys for a long period of time it can get on your nerves but we get through it as we are such good friends.

How did you feel when you released the single 'I feel the need'?
our first song was released without rushing and we got publicity for our new single before coming out it went along smoothy without rushing and feeling the pressure. We feel comfortable with making their next single.

Do you have any future plans for the band? More releases? A Tour? 
We are hoping to tour in the summer time maybe september time, as well as making their next new single for the end of may, with lots of singles throughout the year to keep the band alive and active instead of making a single then not being heard for a while.

rough work for article


VIOLET BONES are a four piece indie pop band, Si Dartford, Rik Hudson, Stuart Gill and Oz Sim. They are from Cambridgeshire and perform in local venues as well as over the country. 

 They started to write their music in 2005 when the band formed together but have been friends for many years before hand. As many artists write about their lives nothing stops them writing about their lives being young men living in a world full of recession, dreams and of course...girls!

They have performed countless number of gigs up and down the country, including Machester’s in the city showcase and supporting pink heroes New York Dolls. 

They released their brand new single ‘I feel the need’ on 15th February 2010 earlier this year, which has lead them to more fans and followers.

Research on The Junction

The junction it self is divided into three separate rooms Junction one,two and three.

Junction one:
This is used for big gigs and performances through out the night of a show as the space and room is big and can fit around 700 people in total. 

Junction two: 
This is used for drama performances and can fit around 250 people. 

Junction three: 
This is a small room that is often used for work shops or as a classroom. 

The Junction has target audiences for specific things such as gigs played in junction one are usually for the younger generation 'Teenagers' or 'mid 20s-30s' at gigs such as 'fiver nights' and 'warning' and also specific gigs such as bands. Where as junction two is audience is anyone depending on the performance that is being held but it can vary from Children's performances to Single acts. 

The junction has the same to offer as the corn exchange, they both have gigs and performances but the junction can have a gig on and another performance at the same time as they have different venue rooms. The Arts theatre is just for performing arts where as the junction and cambridge corn exchange have a variety of gigs and performances that they hold. 

As a regular user at the junction i find it easy to access, reasonably well kept at a time of a gig and has very good security.
