#41 : Lily Mixe

Editor’s Note:
It takes bravery to start something new. Reaching out of the comfort zone that you have always known, or developing an idea that has been nagging at you to bring to fruition. Many of the subjects this edition of 'cene Magazine did exactly that.
We have an exclusive interview with comedian Lou Sanders as she returns to Thanet. Artist Phillip Long reveals how his intriguing rave artwork has developed from the 90s to now. We have Bromley couple Alice and Ashley Hamilton on starting the UK's first 3x3 basketball team, fashion designer Matthew May on his new home-inspired brand, the Soul Guardians on bringing Northern Soul to Maidstone and Deal's Marc Carey on creating the first eco-friendly vinyl. Elsewhere we talk to house producer Ben Macklin and enviro-artist Lily Mixe and we visit wonderful Whitstable.
Plus much more. Enjoy.
