Young musicians from Derry set for Lisbon showcase

A project involving young musicians from Derry-Londonderry has been selected to take part in a showcase event in Lisbon, Portugal on 28th January. The group, Acoustronic, is made up of musicians with a range of disabilities, who harness an array of digital instruments and interfaces. Led by Prof Frank Lyons at Ulster University and facilitated by the Walled City Music team, the project was supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation to explore and develop the principle of inclusivity in participatory arts. It is the only initiative selected from across the UK to present at the Foundation’s international ‘Partis’ showcase in Lisbon, celebrating artistic practice as a means of social intervention for social inclusion.

Prof Frank Lyons, Chair of Walled City Music said,

‘This is a huge privilege and achievement for the group. To be chosen to represent the UK in the area of social inclusion through the arts is an absolute honour. It recognises the visionary and ground-breaking collaborative work happening here as well as the talent, dedication and determination of these young musicians and their support base.  I’m so proud to be travelling to Lisbon to show an international audience what can be achieved if we truly think and create inclusively.’

The group will present NonZeroSum, a commission funded through the PRS Foundation Beyond Borders initiative, in partnership with the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. Written by Frank Lyons for the joint forces of the group plus conventional string quartet it had its world premiere in Derry as part of the Walled City Music Festival last June and subsequently toured to London and Dublin.

Ciaran Scullion, Head of Music, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, principal funder of Walled City Music said, “Advances in digital technology are changing the way in which music is accessed and created.  This innovative piece, NonZeroSum, by Frank Lyons means there are no barriers to high-quality music-making for these musicians with disabilities.  The Arts Council is proud to support this inclusive piece through the Beyond Borders programme and wish the group every success in Lisbon.”

John Lynch from Greysteel is one of five musicians in Acoustronic who will be travelling to Portugal at the end of January. John’s experience of the project was featured in a short film,  http://wave.progressfilm.co.uk/preview?id=5794 during which he said ‘I don’t let autism define me. Music is my life and this project has fulfilled my dreams. I hope it will continue.’

The project is supported by Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Arts Council Northern Ireland, PRS for Music Foundation and Ulster University.

do u know any fics dealing w eating disorders? i totally get if u dont wanna give a rec for tht kinda stuff! i just use them to cope tbh

Hey there, we found a few things; Anna remembers having read something involving Freddie with an eating disorder sometime, but she can’t find it back, so if any followers might have an idea, please hit us up!

Either way, what we do have:

The Clinic by she-was-a-gay-stripper [J/B and F/R] –> in which the Queen boys find each other during their stay at a mental hospital, where Freddie is treated for anorexia nervosa (note: ongoing)

Insecure (But Not for Long) by she-was-a-gay-stripper [B/R] –> often interpreted as featuring Roger with an eating disorder, but can also be interpreted as body image issues, or a mixture of the two

There is also a fic that deals with Freddie suffering from anorexia by Nonzerosum on LiveJournal, but it does not end well and we did not feel very comfortable publically sharing it… Either way, if you are interested, please send us a private message and we can send you the link

[queenslasharchive]

Hey do you know any more joger or froger fanfics? I've read the ones you linked already and was wondering if you maybe know some muliti-chapter ones, though one-shots are great too

Hope these will last you for a while! =) FREDDIE/ROGER

“Good” Old-Fashioned Lover Boy by queenfreddiemercury [Teen | 5394]

Roger remembers some of the worst moments from Freddie’s most troubled relationships. 

Star-Crossed Lovers* by varenoea [Mature]

Freddie mumbles sweet nothings into Roger’s mouth, all the love talk he has saved up over the years, and Roger’s fingers fumble their way to Freddie’s shirt buttons.

Half-baked by halocentury [Teen | 7765]

There were a couple of dirty dishes in the sink but the real eye-catcher were the trays and pan sitting upon the counter. In the pan was a shortbread creation that also smelled of nuts. On the trays were an assortment of cookies; one held square-shaped ginger cookies, the second some kind of cookie with cranberries, the third cinnamon cookies and the last sugar cookies. Finishing the line was a tin that held the crowning glory, almond bark in dark chocolate.

I Know I Can’t Be True by sandssavvy [Mature]

Freddie blinked as his eyes adjusted to the light. He looked for the switch only to find, Roger standing directly in front of him. Roger, AKA one of the reasons Freddie’s relationship with Brian would have been almost perfect.

Comfort and Care by glamrockgirl71 [PG]

“Get well soon, baby”

The Contest by glossimer45 [Teen | 1545]

Freddie and Roger were locked in a deathmatch. And not even your typical, “Roger, over my dead body is “I’m In Love With My Car” backing my masterpiece” (that one had resulted in them glaring over every meal for two weeks, Freddie’s precious china “slipping” from countertops and ultimately, Roger locking himself in a cupboard for four hours until the frustrated singer had to relent, or risk having Roger’s impending asphyxiation on his conscience), or even worse,  Roger’s casual remark that Freddie’s new haircut made him look like a weasel. That had earned him a smarting black eye and also served to impart the rest of the band with the knowledge that under no circumstances would Freddie Mercury’s name ever again be associated with nocturnal mammals, unless, of course, they desired a similar boxer-chic look. 

Through the Wind and Rain by myfinefriend [PG] 

Feeling the shoe make contact with a body, the singer set about the fiend (thief? rapist?), slapping it’s dark form until;“Ah, Fred! Fuck!”

Stay Here by guitar_chic39 [PG]

When Roger was sick he was just adorable

Carpet Burn by myfinefriend [Teen] 

He had to keep it light and cheery, otherwise they would never leave him alone - it would be bad enough if the other two found out about his extra-curricular activities with the singer, but a nosy camera crew and the whole world?! No.“Taylor dies, more like!” He retorted, turning as the camera moved and his hands darted to his knees just in time, flashing them a smile and shuffling desperately towards a nearby chair.

God Knows by my_currency [PG]

His eyes were closed, and each of his eyelashes seemed to twinkle with the light of the sun that spilled through the window and onto his face. Angelic. That seems to be a fitting word.

Loosen Up My Buttons by wildonion [Teen | 1014] 

“They left me,” Roger was saying to himself. “In my moment of need, they up and left me. Said, ‘Your problem now,’ and left me. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe they fucking left me.”

Signs by laurak23 [Teen | 3666] 

Roger gets creative when Freddie has mandatory voice rest.

When Best Friends Were So Little by laliquey [Mature | 1653] 

It must have belonged to a previous tenant, and he hoped it might contain hash; in any case, it was the perfect bait to seduce Freddie into coming over. “I won’t open it till you’re here,” he promised over the phone, though the suspense made him want to peek so very much. He decided that resisting temptation would somehow weight karma in his favor and result in better contents. Like hash and jellybeans!

Anniversary by laliquey [PG | 421]

“I’m sorry, sir, but you can’t take it with you.”

Feel Warmed Up? by upsidedownpb [Teen] 

“Since when was ‘Hey Jude’ a credible warm-up song?” asked Roger, startling Freddie into submission by appearing behind him in his makeshift dressing room.“Since they made it legal to barge in on the most important band member’s practise room,” snarled Freddie, dusting himself off and preening in front of the mirror.

In Focus by halocentury [Teen] 

How could Freddie accuse him of not appreciating beauty? Roger Taylor did appreciate beauty. He appreciated the beauty of music. He appreciated the beauty of people. He appreciated the beauty of cars. He appreciated the beauty of life. He just didn’t appreciate art and that was where Freddie was disappointed with him.

Steam by september_morn [Mature | 3200] 

As if sensing the slow slide into lust that my thoughts are taking, Roger half turns to look over his shoulder at me, and he smiles, and the half-lidded, long-lashed, ocean eyes spear me and… God, he is quite possibly the most gorgeous creature ever to walk the fucking Earth.

Closeted by september_morn [Explicit | 2200] 

In which Roger Taylor discovers what happens when you poke the bear that is Freddie Mercury a little too hard…

Summer Nights by nonzerosum [Teen | 1054] 

Freddie sat next to him and took the candle from his hand, setting it down on the coffee table in front of them. He took Roger’s hand, “You don’t find it romantic at all?”“Not really.” Roger answered, pulling his hand away and crossing his arms over his chest, “I find it annoying.”

(Lack of) Practise Makes Perfect by myfinefriend [Mature] 

Roger Taylor had never been one to practise. He resented giving up time which could be otherwise more enjoyably spent drinking or partying and, in any case, preferred raw, joyful playing to regimented rehearsal. As a result of this, the blonde tended to leave such things to the very last minute, much to the frustration of his bandmates.

Four Words by myfinefriend [PG] 

Panicked and embarrassed, he was sure love and lust had been written blatantly upon his face, the lead practically leapt from his seat.

A Moment Alone by briansgurl89 [Teen] 

The moment they were alone, Roger pounced…

Dear Friends by sevenseasofroger [Teen | in progress] 

roger loves john. he’s sure of that until his lover goes missing after a drunken pub fight, leaving roger to pick up the pieces. along the way, it’s not just his willpower that helps him find john - it’s the quirky charisma of a handsome mustachioed man which motivates and keeps him company along the way.

JOHN/ROGERSometimes by myfinefriend [PG | 188]

Sometimes, Roger cries at night.

Perhaps by myfinefriend [PG]

He knocked, not wishing to be so impolite as to use his key – after all, this wasn’t his home anymore.

Never Again by myfinefriend [G] 

Words can’t change what has happened and they never will.“I’m sorry.”“I love you.”“It was a mistake.”

He Will Be Loved by myfinefriend [Teen | 847] 

Not right? John was more than right, John was perfect – John was the answer. John had always been the answer.

Shutter by laliquey [Mature | 892]

“I’ll fuck ya,” he said with a charming crooked grin.“You would?”“Sure! What are friends for?” Right there at the bar, they practically mapped out a syllabus on paper, negotiating how it would work. It resulted in more drinks, going home, and Deaky gaining moderate proficiency in giving head.

Handkerchief by laliquey [Mature | 1775 + 1018] 

He nursed his hurt feelings in private a while, then decided to do something about it. “I’m going to get Deaky out of his shell!” he announced one day. He started doing things with John – assorted strait-laced things accompanied by lots of getting him to talk and open up. Besides the deepening of a friendship, there was an unmistakable translocation of some of Freddie’s temperament.

Dirty Double Crosser by anewdaysjourney [Teen]

“Roger?”The voice startled him. He hadn’t expected his dinner companion quite yet; he was timing the arrival by how long it took him to finish the Marlboro, then three others.

Here Comes My Man by acacia59 [Mature | 4238] 

John likes to watch. But now it’s time to do something.

I’d Just Die by acacia59 [Mature | 5296] 

Who else can take all your blood and your curses? Nobody I’ve seen you hanging around.

[queenslasharchive]

Do you know any fics as mad as those by nonzerosum?

I try to steer clear of murder fics, but I mean,,, I could probably find something if you want?
