Hello! I was recently asked by Quiksilver to perform at Pure, a fashion industry event in Earls Court, London! I got the chance to see and wear the Women’s Spring collection for 2012 so I jumped at the chance!! So many outfits to choose from I was in my element trying them on and singing my little heart out at the Quiksilver area and on the Catwalk stage! Loads of fun!

See the video for clips of the show which we have put with a new fun song we have recorded called Ba Da Da!

Hello!

Had a really fun day at Musion yesterday with Dave and I being filmed as 3D holograms! I am the first acoustic artist that they are recording and licensing out for events around the globe and Its very exciting to be part of such a pioneering company and to know that our songs/performances will be enjoyed at events in many countries without me even stepping foot outside my house!

Other artists that are working with Musion and have used the technology are Will.i.am, Gorillaz, JLS and loads of others inc sports people like Lewis Hamilton and David Beckham! So if I haven’t name dropped enough, just before we started filming my old label ‘mate’ (when I was on Atlantic USA we had the same A and R) James Blunt popped by Musion to see the technology and was really impressed! Seeing it live is the best thing about it, and for artists its a route in the music industry that isn’t affected by Piracy!

Here’s Dave and I meeting our doubles! Guess who is who!!

On the day, another artist and his band were performing and being recorded and we loved it! He’s called Flute Box Lee, and he’s amazing! He plays the flute and beatboxes at the same time! The rapper Skrein and beatbox Wandan were really good too! Check out Flute box Lee in the youtube video (with over a million hits!) below the one of us performing our song ‘I know’ on the Musion shoot. This version was recorded in 3D! Many thanks to Sanj and everyone at Musion!!

Let me introduce myself … I’m Ruth, a Scottish Lass who likes to write, take pictures, make things and make change. I am passionate about communicating environmental matters to people in a creative way.

I divide my time between Glasgow, London and the great outdoors, which has inspired me to write about environmental issues and illustrate my words with my own pictures when I can. I contribute to art projects and make up my own, even if it’s just creating something out of an old pair of socks or a plastic bag - it’s amazing what you can do with the stuff other people would normally throw away!

I love the Quiksilver Women’s eco-friendly range of clothing and over the next few months I’ll be telling you about other ways you can become greener, help charities and create change in your own special way.

So stay tuned for my monthly column “Creating Change”, the first post is up on the 8th of February when I’ll be talking about eco-style.
