REPORTING From The Fox Tower, on Christmas Eve Eve, welcomes you to an overview of 2017, bringing you the top three most viewed posts of the year, bringing you the most popular first.

Amy Willerton

The most popular post of 2017 on Reporting From The Fox Tower was 'Wallpaper of the Week, 23 July 2017', posted on the above date and was a real mixed bag of items in one post. The post began with the Wallpaper image of Tailbridge Hill, Nateby. The image was captured 20 September 2016.
The post introduced Amy Willerton, pictured above, before closing with Chris Froome's 2017 Le Tour de France victory. The post had 144 views.

To the second most popular post:

Pulse 2 broadcasts on 1278 kHz in Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK.

 An evening listening to Medium Wave radio had the second highest number of views, with 138 recorded visits to the post. The broadcasts were logged on September 21, with the post dated September 24.

The third most popular post:

Caitlin
Sidney

Reporting From The Fox Tower was in experimental phase at points during the year, bringing you the Facebook Live video broadcast by Facing West, which was carried live on Facebook, Saturday 29 April. Facing West are a band consisting of sisters Caitlin (left) and Sidney (right) Powell.

The 'Facing West: Facebook Live' post has received 113 views since uploaded on Sunday, April 30.

Those were the three most popular posts of 2017.
The plan, at the moment, is a final post of the year on Saturday 30th, looking at Carlisle United Football Club's results in December, though I intend to spend some quality time with my radio, so there may be radio logs posted here.

Until the next time, may I wish you a Merry Christmas!

Wallpaper of the Week: Facing West(ward ho!)

WHILST I can't guarantee that this great picture was taken at Westward Ho!, the Devonshire coastal town as alluded to in the title of this post, I can guarantee that Caitlin and Sidney Powell do feature as Wallpaper of the Week. Or should I say Birthday week! As Caitlin and Sidney have both celebrated their Birthdays recently. So this post is also a belated Happy Birthday to both.
Also alluded to in the title of this post is Caitlin and Sidney's day job - They are the band Facing West.

Until next time, enjoy!

Introducing Facing West

... Or a post that should be titled Reintroducing Facing West, as the band have appeared on this blog previously, on February 7, 2016, in the post Now Playing: Facing West.

Facing West are sisters Caitlin and Sidney Powell. Caitlin and Sidney both grew up interested in music and learned to play guitars; They both started out as solo artists, but their father suggested they became a band, which they did. They named themselves '2Girls with Guitars' in 2013, when they began to write their own songs, which paid off.
In 2014, Caitlin and Sidney recorded 'Skyline', their first EP. They also discarded '2Girls with Guitars' in favour of Facing West.
In December 2014, Caitlin and Sidney recorded their full length album 'Long Way Home'.

Since then, Facing West have gone on to write more of their own music, as well as some outstanding covers, which included their cover of Coldplay's 'Adventure Of A Lifetime', which featured in the 'Now Playing: Facing West' post. Here is Facing West's acoustic cover of 'Adventure Of A Lifetime':


Facing West worked with Fifgen Films in Portland, Oregon, early 2016, where they recorded a new version of 'Adventure Of A Lifetime', with an accompanying video, which you can see in the 'Now Playing: Facing West' post.


Facing West have a number of online presences, some of which are linked to here:

Facing West on...
I hope you enjoy the music of Facing West. I shall leave you with one of Caitlin and Sidney's most recent covers: Louis Tomlinson & Steve Aoki's 'Just Hold On'.

Enjoy.

Now Playing: Facing West




INTRODUCING Facing West, otherwise known as sisters Caitlin and Sidney Powell.
In 2013, Caitlin and Sidney started covering songs and named themselves '2Girls with Guitars' to perform in public in their home state of Colorado, USA. Whilst performing covers, they also started to write their own songs and learn to play a variety of instruments.
In 2014, they worked with producer Jon Bonus to record 'Skyline', their first EP. They also discarded '2Girls with Guitars' in favour of Facing West.
In December 2014, they worked with producer Joshua Bertrand to record their full length album 'Long Way Home'.
Recently, Caitlin and Sidney performed a cover of Coldplay's 'Adventure Of A Lifetime', which you can see above. Over the course of the last month, they have worked with Fifgen Films in Portland, Oregon. Whilst on location in Portland, they recorded a new version of 'Adventure Of A Lifetime' and a video to accompany the new version of the song, which you can see below.

Before the new 'Adventure Of A Lifetime' video, here are Facing West's online links:
I hope you enjoy the music of Facing West. I shall leave you with the Fifgen Films production of 'Adventure Of A Lifetime'.

Enjoy.
