    Send us a text Hardwicke Circus became the first UK band to tour Ukraine since the war began, embarking on their “Songs of Freedom” tour. They started the journey in the Czech Republic and then headed into Ukraine, performing in cities like Lviv, Ternopil, Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Kharkiv (including at a military base where they recorded a live album), before concluding with a show in Kyiv. The tour isn’t just about music—they also ran workshops for Ukrainian youth and donated all proceeds to Mission Ukraine, a UK‑Ukrainian charity delivering aid to conflict‑affected areas  Lead singer Jonny Foster described it as “our conscience taking us there,” while drummer Tom Foster emphasized that the purpose of solidarity and connection outweighed personal safety concerns. ABC News featured them on News Breakfast, including an interview with Australian keyboardist Conor Morrissey and frontman Jonny Foster, reflecting the significance of their mission live from Kyiv  This tour marks a powerful moment in cultural solidarity—bringing live UK rock to Ukraine amid ongoing conflict, supporting local communities, and spotlighting the healing power of music.

    Game Records Belgium is releasing a new single by Andy Anderson, I'm Unstoppable.

    Send us a text Andy Anderson is not just any artist.  From an early age he knew that music would be his outlet, growing up as an outsider - bullied for his looks, his overweight and his extravagant style he found a way to be himself in music and performance before the world was ready for it.  No musical roots, but an indomitable passion that took him to singing competitions, playback shows and later to the big stages at a young age. In his early twenties, Andy performed on the live shows for the television series Idool in Belgium where he was one of the last twenty candidates on the show.  He continued to record music, released some dance tracks and worked with Spanish producer Andres Romero one of Belgium's most successful producers. In 2014 he recorded a version of the gay anthem classic "I Am What I AM" which received airplay in Europe,  He has also appeared on Britain's Got Talent, in addition Belgium's Got Talent in 2021.  Andy made one of the most spectacular entrances the programme has ever seen: he appeared on a Roman chariot, pulled by bundles of muscle which made a unforgettable impression. In 2024 Andy signed a record contract with Carolina Guilini (Game Records) founder of the Belgian power girl band Def Dames Dope.  Carolina introduced Andy to the international dance producer SIM:ØR who scored a number 1 hit in Spain with Tamira Jay SIM:ØR has written successful songs for Netflix programmes, and has produced a powerful, modern sound full of emotion and character for Andy Anderson. Andy is releasing his new single I'm Unstoppable, its a personal track which looks back on his difficult childhood years, the bullying, his battle with obesity and insecurity.  Andy wrote the lyrics inspired by his scars and triumphs and wants to bring a message of hope and self - acceptance with his music to every one who has ever felt different, unseen or unwanted.
