Brandy and Snap go to Hospital!



It’s been a while since our last bloggers, Brandy and Snap got their delicate paws on the old word processor. Perhaps it might have something to do with an overload of parties over the last few weeks, and a little incident of overdoing it on the dance floor?!

The last 2 weeks have seen a megafull of parties from fashion week at Burberrys, The Hospital Club, a barmy mad Arts fair in Hackney to a rockin gig in a tiny village hall in rural Sussex. Although Brandy and Snap are on holiday this week (recuperating from their recent activities), they have promised to tell all in their blogs over the coming weeks.

1st up is Brandy and Snaps' visit to the Hospital. No, not that kind of hospital, a visit to the Hospital Club, famous members club for the creative industries, set up by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame 6 years ago. Livestock bloggers were invited to the Wolf and Badger Graduate Design Awards, to be entertained with a diverse and unusual selection of performances. Very Donnie Darko, the boys loved the surreal events of the night.


Friendly art director Emily takes a shine to Brandy, or is it Snap?

Livestock gets involved in many events which require friendly art directors to make up our team of professional and enthusiastic creatives.


A surreal performance of moving human grapes!… Surreal…

Unusual performance is one of Livestock's trademarks, so it’s nice to see that the boys know where to look for these kind of acts! Our database is full of unique and eclectic talent in these categories.

Um..tiny weenie cakes on our hosts hands. Designed for instant eating!



Donnie Darko’ish freak!





Thoroughly enjoying snooping around the club to investigate the other member’s rooms. Note the rather oversized light in the Library, gave Snap a bit of a scare!

The Hospital club has many floors, including games rooms, excellent restaurant, bars, and library. It is also equipped with TV studio, recording studio, film screening room and gallery. All available for hire, or for use by the Artists in Residents Programme.


A good old British game of ‘dance ’til you drop’! Snap seems to have got a good deal here up in the eves of this contestants number!

A fine night of arty, surreal and good ol’ fashioned British games made Brandy and Snap feel really at home in the lavish furnishings of the Hospital Club.

The Hospital club is a members’ only club for people that work in the creative industries. It also runs a philanthropic department that is focused on supporting the careers of emerging creatives. At Livestock we also like to nurture our talented performers. So this year we have nominated Simon, our new aspiring multidisciplinary poet for the amazing opportunity of a residency at the Hospital club. We will be supporting him all the way.
