COTSWOLD What’s On Indigo Kings
If you haven’t yet heard of The Indigo Kings, jiggle around a few memory cells and make room for those three words, as you might just hear them coming from your radio soon.
VINTAGE pop band The Indigo Kings live, rehearse and work in the Cotswolds and throughout the summer have been performing at some of the UK’s most prominent jazz, blues and vintage festivals. The band has just released its debut single.
The song, called ‘When I turn out the light’, is in a vintage pop style, similar to the likes of Caro Emerald, Amy Winehouse and Paloma Faith; which essentially blends jazz, blues and a bit of classic 1950s pop. For Caroline Boucher, one of the band’s
lead singers, the most exciting part was filming the video for it. As the song’s writer (along with Carl Ward-Brassington) it has been her labour of love.

“It was a fantastic experience but an
exhausting process,” says Caroline. “It took several months to get from the
early days of getting funding and designing the storyboard, to booking a film maker, hiring actors, finding filming locations and props. On the day of filming we were there for 15 hours. It was so tiring but immense fun and it’s amazing to think that we made a professional music video that will be on the music TV channels.” The song features a woman who is
essentially searching for Mr Right and the lyrics tell of three possible suitors. “We wanted something quirky and fun, vintage/retro in style and a little different to
the usual music videos, so we came up with the idea for a vintage ‘Blind Date’ parody called ‘Blind Fate’, complete with cheesy 1950s game show host and some handsome young men to be the contestants. It came across brilliantly on camera.” ‘When I turn out the light’ is available
through iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all good online outlets. The video can be seen on the band’s
youtube channel (linked from their website
www.theindigokings.co.uk). Follow The Indigo Kings on Facebook

As the purse strings tighten, more and more of us are turning to affordable, home beauty treatments that still give amazing results. When a cream, lotion or oil
is applied to the skin, only a small fraction of what is applied onto the skin actually gets absorbed so the benefits can be limited. The Mycrolator is a certified
medical device, developed by industry experts for the beauty
engineered tiny micro-needles set in a specially designed handle. All of the components are medical grade. The Mycrolator Skin Prep device is dabbed onto the skin. This painlessly creates micro- pockets in the uppermost layer of the skin where there are dead cells, called the
Stratum Corneum. These micro-pockets
dramatically increase the skin’s surface area, into which the supplied sterile oils are able to absorb and form what can be called ‘micro-reservoirs’. These reservoirs allow the oils to be gradually absorbed into the skin and sustained for several
