Thanks to Yasmin Whittaker Khan, Arieb Azhar, all at Insaancultureclub for organising a amazing show 22.7.22. Also thanks to Misha my Siberian brederen & Ruhi ( amazing documentary maker). Also shakir Bhatee for taking that photo above. He made me look “ansome” possibly because he supports W.H.F.C.(a premiership football side in the uk that I reluctantly support only because as a child through peer pressure I had to choose a “side”).

Sufism is direct thread that comes from Islam. A part of Islam as a engine is to a car. Some would/may say “a spare wheel” I would say the engine. Again it is all subjective it is greater then all of that …depends how you feel. The problem with mankind and womankind is the lack of faith. The facts are obvious. The lack of faith and understanding is shocking…https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/when-two-worlds-collide (one of me fave love songs a love story)

Above Dates from a Lebanese shop in North Acton. Above also a bass guitar with man’s ashes in it. Above also me Clark shoes bought in charity shop. Very comfy. Comfortable shoes make body feel good……(Tangent)….Most zealots, Zionists, extreme humans lack common sense. Any form of extremism makes humans very stupid. Sufism is all about LOVE. Anything can be forgiven because the Devine has ultimate forgiveness. Non can judge what that judgement be. It does not mean we are free…or does it? No one if free till we are all free.

Above Gino Washington. A top artist we saw the other day about 87 years of age. More power then most half his age. What a voice and a top songwriter.

There are more then a few main characters in Sufism and there are many points and counterpoints. What we don’t loose sight of is that there are far more knowledgeable people then me who know bout Sufism . I know close to nothing of which I am trying to unlearn. For example chk seyyed Hossein Nasr a scholar on Islam and he has vast array of knowledge on things. Also he is very aware of other faiths and how there are many paths to the divine.

that’s a good starting point Seyyed Hossein Nasr…I was told when I was twenty eight years old by a sufi cleric, after living up till then a guilt ridden candid existance “It is a sinn to not be high”,after saying this he ran up the dark London street, he was bare foot, it was winter, he came back two weeks later fully clothed with a crisp pair of shoes. The other major point is focus with what’s under your feet and what’s around. Your blood is crucial if at all possible take care of that blood. With the world as it is and the “adventures we are in” sometimes that is impossible. But we must try. Do try. keep trying.

Not easy but be easy – below are lyrics to a “special” song as yet to be recorded properly by Kinspirit here is a link to a song that was recorded ….by kinspirit https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/track/step-outside You can download via paypal that album you can see we have had some stuff made above is other stuff soon coming….

For those of faith. Can we putt a limit on the power of prayer?  Or asking the Devine with work and determination and persistence most can get what they need, not always what we want. Again depends on your faith I dont have that kind of faith but I always prefer the Devine to humankind. That’s simply me.

We shall end this blog that is a slog with a song from the album above you can download that as well it is the heavy side of me rock/punk/groove thing we do as East End Trinity https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/the-runner or order directly from website.

We have a mailing list. One can be on a list to be sent Luck news and monthly views. No spam or bacon or vegan substitutes. Only about what we are doing musically and artistically. As the man in the high tower has expressed the spaceship needs new light bulbs possibly a “lick of paint”. Again enjoy the simple things till next time……

This green and pleasant land this united kingdom, this is our home, this is where we belong. We sing those songs for all the children on this earth. As the Great British empire did effect most of this world. We like YOU whatever hue and faith what you earn if located within UK one should be grateful.

The world is a very unjust and cruel place so we have to buckle up. Be ready to rock steady. And when music hit’s you you feel no pain. Samejghei? Undericht? Get me?Sava sava? So if you like that opener chk investigate all our music on one platform. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/

Here is a song from the unit above Kinspirit chk link and listen it is about the movement the struggle. The desire and why loved ones know they are the one. Again respect is a action not a word. It is not a reaction but a reply. Attentive listening makes life easy. We have greater battles to win. All combatants feel they deserve victory. https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/track/it-remains

We got some back up. Trust. We make music for all generations summer hmm.. festivals and meaning of it has been tarnished. Most of us got weak gave up sold out,in varying degrees. Humans have the amazing ability to insist upon their innocence(including me ). Nothing wrong with money or capitalism, they are variant and brilliant examples of it being helpful to the general populace. As socialism is and can be. There is no clear cut way there many ways to make things work.

Each society what it makes and sells has to balance the books and feed the nation. We all need food. That is for sure. Below is TBLWCFB or Babar Luck’s world citizen folk band. We had a lovely 40th birthday celebration which was like a small festival in the woods. Here is a track from the third album which features Bethan (violinist) pictured above a song pertinent to being a man all over this world – https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/what-makes-a-man

Whilst in Disney world Brighton uk, met a younger me (in spirit) her partner and I talked for a while and her man’s knew the Dubliners(world famous Irish folk band). Also the chap played fluidly. We talked fondly of music and the journey of life and when I played him a song he could see I was not a “traditional Irish songsmith”.

But here is a song I always pull out when I need to get the Respect this version is raw but raw has something beguiling https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/no-truer-words Incidently we have re-recorded that song with TBLWCFB for our 4th album of that unit which is being mixed and finalised for release 2023 but we will have some “snippets” of that album. for your pleasure soon come…..

Pictured above is a man wearing a leather jacket on a shooting range. Leather in hot weather is a look. The man is well versed in that as he learns about life and passes knowledge. The man above is a ex biker he is used to leather and heat. I am also a honorary biker I have been asked to join many chapters,as I explained many times I would never join any gang that would have me in it. I dont like to follow rules. The chap above played some great bass for me on a album do chk this track https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/divine-badness. Devine badness is my gift to this world,that has a ring to it.

The chap above is Justin. Top photo taken the other week catches another wonderful bassist and a long time music maker with me, check this track from our Electric Punk Rock unit East End Trinity. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/travel-that-road One of me fave songs and to me totally captures why and how wars are a lie and truly destroy the human fabric of society. We all need peace and we all need truth we all need fun.

Incidently mr. Zimmerman is looking on in the background of the picture above Dylan to some but a true genius to those in the English speaking world. We love a bit of Dylan. When he comes to tour this year it will be no phone concerts. If anyone can make that happen it is that chap. Don’t let smart phones dumb you down. Control your life, put them down switch them off. sit and talk to your loved ones. Or be still in silence.

That is me Kayaking along the river Thames….love swimming love the Ocean…love abstract Jazz and country music. Like curveballs and tangents.

That is me and Jason who is pictured near the beginning of this slog. I shall insert the link for that song “Green and pleasant land” I began the slog with the words to the chorus. So chk it. One can also subscribe to our youtube channel if you like ….it is called therealbabarluck https://youtu.be/auIkzEqrSTA

We love to make music all styles. It is a gift which comes from being around all walks of life. Also it comes from a migrants experience of isolation and never being accepted. A heart needs a home. Some are forever homeless. Many come from afar to make a better world. Migration and refugees are the same but not the same. As a wise women said,”these insidious and deceptive leaders before they decide to make war should allocate refugees to neighbouring countries and those governments need to agree before the chaos and sadness of war begins how many refugees they will look after .” There are no just wars. There never was and they never will be. Sorry to disappoint those addicted to war,revenge, bloodshed as a normal way of life. When cruelty and thuggish mentality are normalised then we have all lost. You can download or directly order from website some of our music it is all about peace and power to the peaceful and making a better world for all the children. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/music Love you all 100%. Thank you in advance for your support.

Above is a poster for a show we are doing soon in Brighton uk. It is on 8th july 2022 at the Cowley club 12 London road Brighton GB BN1. It is with our collaborative acoustic unit kinspirit. Please chk this very DIY video we made on our channel on youtube called therealbabarluck. https://youtu.be/auIkzEqrSTA

At the time that youtube channel was created there were other Babar Luck channels with enthusiastic peoples who claimed to help me and spread the “luck” but in reality they were naive parasites who folded and have vanished into the abyss of the internet. Or as I liked to say internot. Again reality and how we chase paper have changed, I have moderated that viewpoint and decided to have our own channel. On this website we have a “vidz” section with bits and bob’s from the internet and some old and new videos mostly made by our teams over the years in a labour of love kind of way. The song above is called Green and pleasant land. My youtube channel is called therealbabarluck (one word one love).

Above is a funny picture. It is about our valiant and amazing violinist who’s birthday it is very soon. We shall be playing that birthday as The Babar Luck world citizen folk band. It is a unit when we play live is very jovial and honest. We had a good show and happy one the other day and we made a video which is to try and get more shows as well as document a brilliant night. Do check that video and maybe chk our three cd’s each different but the same each equally interesting made with love I call it “sci-fi-folk” the genres within it are reggae soul funk Indian Bollywood and classical nods to Debussy Bartók Elgar and of course what is termed folk throughout the world. That is my intention and what I think, you tell me what you think. Thinking is so important. https://youtu.be/4yrNDdLmN4s a direct link to our latest cd of that sound https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/rastaa

Above is Jason James singing those kinspirit songs. As i have mentioned and wil continue to do so he is very talented singer and writer in his own right and has done some excellent musical work. Please check the front page of this website for links to his own band work. Also here is a link to Kinspirit Origins ep https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/album/kinspirit-origins

Above another happy picture. It is taken at the “Las Vegas” of the north Blackpool. I am with my first band after doing solo stuff/Duo acoustic I wanted to play loud electric noisy music so we formed a band called East End Trinity and we do have another chap with us and other chaps with us in that unit(not pictured ) We were in Blackpool laying the foundation for our fifth cd. It will be ready when it is ready soon come. We make punk/Rock/Groove music. We cover a few diff genres as LUCK tend’s to do here is a song talking about what i began this slog blog with –https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/travel-that-road

Spending a lott of time in the last three years with some cool cats as we get into 2022 and soon be 2023(two blinks and it be here) lets see what we can make of it. Honesty is the best policy in all things. It is best to be candid though as truth is very difficult thing for most humans to face. We jump to our own riddim and with Love try and convey how we are one humanity not some isolated tribes forced to mix. We have been mixing since time. Archaeologist Historians anthropologists will tell those facts. I simply know we are one. If those truths fascinate and resonate within you then do check out our wide variety of music and our musical units but most importantly – live love be loved and be brave till next time …
