Event at Limehouse Town Hall

7/27/2016

Hello Good People who sometimes read my blog...

The fundraising event I publicised before at Limehouse Town Hall is still going ahead this Sunday 31st of  July 3pm-11pm . But no booze for sale so bring your own, also it's a private event so please see this as your personal and private invitation .
I will be there and will do some very accurate tarot readings for donations (to the cause) but due to unforseen circumstances I will not be performing unless I suddenly change my mind and feel able  to. Sorry about that!
This is due to dealing with many emergencies and stressful situations 24/7 and also health problems affecting my voice.
This is the Facebook link to the event.

The world has gone really mad and some people are trying to generate a war in the West but somehow we must fight in a non-violent way, because hatred makes hatred, violence creates violence, anger needs to be dispersed somehow like thunder and lightening needs to hit the ground, but we have to break this chain reaction. I don't have a solution I only know that if we cannot  stop this violent and shocking chain reaction it will grow and escalate.

If I find any solutions I'll let you know! The 1960s were violent times, people forget this,the 1970s were also troubled times for many in the UK, now so much deprivation in parts of the city...we need regeneration and peace and inspirational music. We don't need war games.


Love and Peace and Good Wishes to all xxx
P.S. Earlier this week I was not loving or peaceful at all, and my mantra was "at heart I've always been a Dalek", but stress and rage can be dispersed if the circumstances are right. I faced my demons (in human form) and tried to deal with them, am still trying to deal with them.

Hello Good People
 
I am hoping to do a floorspot later at Survivor’s Poetry at the Poetry Café 22 Betterton Street, London, WC2H 9BX. Evening kicks off 8pm, entry price = very cheap.

I have the worst stage nerves but this is my chance to thank my old friend Razz (poet) who has encouraged me so much, and encouraged so many other songwriters and poet, since I first met him at Bunjies Folk Cellar when he was running the infamous "World Oyster Club" around 1991. If there’s no space on the floorspot list it will still be a great evening.

Love and Peace and Good Health to Everyone

Some gigs (in London) in the crazy summer of 2016

Hello Good people who read my nonsense

This is a crazy summer, I will write about that more elsewhere online blended with my own insanity. Here I am simply going to confirm "The times they are a changing" and tell you about a couple of  gigs of mine, since this is my totally uncool advertising space that makes me squirm, yet is essential for letting people know I still do music.

I did a little gig yesterday (9/7/16) outside the Royal Festival Hall doing some backing vocals and playing Javanese gamelan. I would rather play Sundanese gamelan but have not yet found anyone in the UK who will take me on!

I really enjoyed the gig yesterday, it's much less pressure to do someone else's material and also to perform in a group rather than solo. It was great fun. Thanks to Brian for taking photos like the one above.

I am also going to do a little gig at the Limehouse Town Hall (
London E14 7HA) on Sunday July 31st. It's a fundraiser for my daughter in law who cannot live in the UK at present due to ridiculously strict immigration rules. My son (British) and his wife had their first visa application rejected with no coherent reason given.They are going to apply again but with a lawyer this time.The visa application process is very expensive and lengthy. As well as being a fundraiser this event is to raise awareness of these unfair new regulations. Having a British spouse does not give you the right to live in the UK. If their application is rejected again my son will have to move out of the UK and change his job and entire life to be with his wife.

I will be doing a little solo acoustic gig at the Limehouse event and giving tarot readings (!), alongside many other musicians and much creative mayhem where everyone sympathetic to our cause is welcome.There will be food and many activities in exchange for donations. I will put more details up here as I know them.

So much instability in the world  that I am quite exhausted, but also excited at some of the changes, anything could happen, Sheldon quakes in his boots at "anything could happen Thursdays" but in the UK it is anything could happen every day.
We have to make sure these changes are positive and lead to peace, deeper collaboration and think of long term issues. The problem is that in the last few decades UK politics and the entire media-centred culture here has been competitive, superficial and image based with everyone out for themselves.Even the internet isolates people and creates unreal worlds and unreal perspectives. People are stronger when they meet in person and work together and speak together honestly.
(see July 16th event in London)

Wishing you all love and peace and good health. (especially Razz x)

P.S. I am still writing my Jane Eyre songs for my little musical project on Jane Eyre's chilhood when I can, and am really enjoying it. The music comes easily, along with the ideas behind the songs but specific lyrics are the hardest for me as they have to coin everything I am feeling and thinking, through the eyes of Jane Eyre. It's like trying to summarise 100 pages into a haiku.
