Month: March 2023

Different tools are needed for diff environments. Above Ron is his name. His hash tag. #uncleronwhoisneverwrong exhibiting some specialised tools. He has always supported me in me musical ventures. He likes some of my music. He admires how I say what I say. Sometimes. As he says “they dont like it up em”. Whoever “they” may be. For the music please chk this website or all our illustrious outpourings on https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/music

I try and venture out once a week was at https://paperdressvintage.co.uk/by-night seeing a artist who I have known about ten years. Barbara Pugliese her latest single https://youtu.be/TNoL1IVQ4Kc She was in band for along while. Called Barbarellas Bang Bang https://www.youtube.com/@BarbarellasBangBang Her new stuff is with Dave Randall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Randall_(musician) who has a musical lineage. Poetically political funky soulful music. That aside was overjoyed to see Jackie a old friend with her two wonderful sons. Both sons are amazing humans. Their father who passed a few years back was a wonderful loving spirit. Aitch was his name. Never forget the real ones.

Above is a picture of TJ Divers in Oz. He is standing at the exact point we met, a few years ago, I had a large red suitcase. He had offered to put me up in his home for a bit. I needed shelter. Purely musical friendship at the beginning. It is now something deeper. His new ep I have just heard. Do check it rock music with soul and emotion all instruments played by himself. A polymorph he is and many other things https://tjdivers.bandcamp.com/album/the-road-home-ep

He recorded two solo acoustic albums in oz for me. I insisted on them being recorded the way they are. It is naked and raw. The first “Love to Love” even though it has nice pop tunes I insisted on starting with a 7 minute cathartic splurge. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/love-to-love The second one “No truer words” is a bit more optimistic and actually has fun moments. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/no-truer-words All me albums I am proud of each one is a miracle.

He introduced me to James Acaster musician and comic(check previous blog) and we went onto to do this music link is below. Top stuff surreal funky Jazzy symphonic voices. https://tempsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/party-gator-purgatory

https://youtu.be/NVW7S8JxIyg

Chk the wonderful documentary above all about HR at the time it was made we were not sure if we would see him do music at that level again. He has we are very fortunate.

I am a humanist I love all humanity. Power to the peaceful. If we can learn to separate governments and their leaders from the people. The people in this world from my experience when allowed to speak freely (most people on this earth sadly cant speak freely) are Lovely. Full of love. Forgiving and just. And also want a loving world for all. Specially the next generations,their children. So that’s a little speech from the heart as always with LOVE.

Above it looks like Vegas. What bright lights. The Boleyn Tavern a Iconic pub which was the place to have a drink before going to see West Ham United football club (a football team in the UK) before the ground moved to the Westfield centre in Stratford UK. Behind me the backside of a statue celebrating England world cup victory in 1966 and how West Ham United players were a crucial part of it. As anyone into football will tell you. I am not a fan I do support West Ham United . Like Russel Brand and Steve Harris from Iron Maiden. Again two very diff people but lovers of the “hammers”( a nick name for those who support West Ham Football club).

The two Rainbow pictures in this slog blog . The Borg took (Luck advisor and consultant). The other of the lazer show in Bristol(below) with the wonderful musical maker https://funkiporcini.bandcamp.com/ . Electronic music dense heavy Top stuff.

Above Scrim bassist and friend and a luthier to the stars in a funny position. Well best he stays still. Otherwise the cat will be disturbed. A link to a anthem of ours where he is playing bass https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/world-citizen

yes https://soundcloud.com/kepro-music/sound-of-a-drum-feat-babar a track i did with me dear friend. Pictured above Junior and Agnes . The track is called “Sound of drum” chk it out. It is about learning and passing on wisdom and realising all is possible.

Also lets not take ourselves too seriously humour is what makes us human. We all mess up. We all make mistakes. We are all works in progress. Till next time….

#realpeoplelove #uncleronisneverwrong

Plumbers. We are workers and we work all the time. On all things. Humanity and generations are amazing how swiftly things move. Uncle Ron above with K our dear family friend. #Uncleronisneverwrong he is famous. Number one. Top man.Not afraid to speak his mind. Before I write more dont forget. All our stuff can be found via website https://babarluck.com/shop/ and also https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/

When anger divides us. It they/them forget their humanity. What`s so great about LUCK world we have a real affinity with the humans in my circle. Not always close. It decreases and it increases. The next generation will be One. Things can always be better,for me for you for us.

The above is a Lapp top picture held by queen L. In the background is “Naanieauntie”(our mother) looking after the children. Who are migrants from foreign lands. Who made their homes in this Great Britain.

The above a poem by mother. Feel how it is. Why make people feel those feelings? All mothers are amazing and they have learnt to make the best of the situation their way. We are in a world where absent fathers are more common. The not so good dads. I am absent and not good. The love is 100%. There is room for improvement. I dont shirk those topics in fact I write constantly about family. About belonging and the trails and efforts in that. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/happy-endings https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/no-truer-words-2 https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/sorrow-into-joy

The three links above are highly charged emotional songs about relationships. Ultimately that’s what we write about humanity and its pros and cons. Its failings and its amazing ability to carry on. Humanist. That`s what I am. We are not against the intellectual pursuit of things and objects and activities to build empires. I know more then the heart will want to tell.

Above me and Junior. A amazing very dear friend we have made some music together. It is on Spotify our third collaboration. I wrote words and melody kindof…. The music harmonies production Kepro is the unit. The song is called Sound of a Drum https://open.spotify.com/album/0gHLjrSKcJdZ6aUcPgkvCV

The above is me mate a famous bloke who does music and other things. James Acaster. Two diff photos one in oz a few years back was there due to my precious oz family. As I love to point out mr. Acaster is a genuine liker of me music. Our mutual friend TJ Divers brought us together through pure coincidence. And our love of music. https://tjdivers.bandcamp.com/ Chk TJ highly emotional brilliant music. The other picture of me and James is a few years later in this Great Britian. Where he invited among 39 other creatives to make a album. He gave me two tracks to work on over a long time. A exciting musical journey of greatness it is. The Project called Temps is released May 19th 2023 https://www.jamesacaster.com/ a link to the videos which are great and the songs which are even greater https://www.youtube.com/@tempsmusicvideos he is a Partygator….

The last 3 pictures are my three different projects. The world citizen folk band above. Smiling. We make acoustic based folk stuff with Violin cahoun etc. Our fourth album was released feb 2023 https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/light-up-the-night

The above our electric rock punk groove unit getting very “out there” as well we have four albums a link our first album 15 years ago or so https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/east-end-trinity and latest live show vid found on youtube thanks to seajhonsters steady hands… https://youtu.be/o9sAzO1BPVM

There above are me and that kin doing what we love singing our Kinspirit songs. It is a blessing that`s a long project 15 years or so it has taken for those 10 songs or so to be sung. Take my hand and dont let go…https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/track/rainbows-ice-cream

The above is a wonderful artist we have been into him for a long while he happens to be playing down the road so we opening up for him as Kinspirit. want you to hear his music. As we say widen ones musical palette and face the morning your own way… https://youtu.be/BAbMAYk_20k

We are looking for shows for all our live musical units so get in touch. More importantly live love be loved be brave.

what do I know? I know there is nothing but this precious moment and love is never-ending and we are all so amazing.

Till next time …..

#canningtownheart #realpeoplelove #uncleronisneverwrong #chooselove #thestreetimam #Africanstaanee #Irishstaanee #Jamicanstaanee

Smiling. Light up the night with a smile. Why? The new album. We really love what we do. Babar Luck`s World citizen folk band. The above photo in hindsight should have been the front cover. Do chk our shop might uncover other amazing treasures….https://babarluck.com/shop/

Dare we say. Not for the common boring dull corporate reasons. The music it was and is a statement. Also happy things. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/light-up-the-night

Why we chose those songs? The above album is the fourth album of that “sound” which we love. A Violin Spanish guitar and Cahoun. Those songs listed above mean so much on a wider context then simply a album. Or even the crew and everything. “Spaceship” the opener is what the whole Luck brand is about. We sell love and we are all inclusive everyone is welcome.

Every conceivable being and idea every good thing and the other kind. Yes Love is the answer. “Spaceship is fuelled by love you dont need a ticket just jump on board.”No passports no borders no flags no territories. “sesame street politics” have you not had enough of the other kind? Good to be good nice to be nice.

Like in the song “Trust”that talks about real friendship and be lucky to count that on one hand. In it we mention Oscar Wilde we mention B.B.King we mention the unmentionable “kill for peace” hmmm….. sometimes History tells us we have to kill for peace. Reality. Yes life is not all smiles and sunshine and birds and bees and flowers. Defo more bees. More bees please. Buzzy b buzzy b buzzy b

Idealism is what we sell. Or do we? We dont compromise on that. Or do we ? We also are not afraid to express love and we are not afraid to question ourselves. Like in life to change for the better. Sometimes in life there is no going back to something that we love. That`s also something that is covered in our sound. There is sometimes no going back. “When two worlds collide”.

Animal kingdoms is a song testosterone driven males all over the world carry out on their nights out. One knows how that is. I am sure all men have faced that or became that hopefully they have learnt from that. Again a song chosen to exhibit that truth and those feelings.

Those feelings

YES that album “Light up the night” has “No truer words”is a song from a solo album never recorded with a band. Yes the Irishstaanee the cross cultural being and we love Irish music and learnt from many a great Irish “uncle” those melodies and those ideas.

As we grow older one realises what real love is and how precious it is. How important it is. That song is so special it takes me back to another time. A time of learning and seeking. The words in it are not mine. I have this memory and can recognise phrases and emotions leave a imprint on my psyche. Those words are from those elders that tried to teach me the path of love.

Finally it is apparent we have a long way to go towards making the world better and fairer place but we dont tire of the challenges we face. We shall replace fear with love. To make a better world for all the children. Till next time and see u around…

We do come up with funny lines. Not deliberately. Confused Soiree with Masse in the snooker hall the other day. That is something “Dell boy” from “Only fools and Horses” a Iconic British TV programme would say. Again looking back on that programme it was sexist racist and classist and it would be cancelled in modern age we live in. Possibly?

What a wonderful world we do live in. We dont loose our sense of humour it is what makes us human.

Words from our sponsor Please join our mailing list. Front page of website. Please download a track or two a album or two from the one platform that has all our music https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/music.

More importantly I say be good to each other. Respect each other. Forgive each other. Make love not war. Enjoy me “sesame street politics.”

Like the oft quoted Groucho Marx phrase “would not join a club that would have me as a member” A few clubs I do belong to are snooker clubs. Luckily as long as one has the cash to join one can. I dont usually have the cash, I dont usually pay, me friends pay for me as they know I love snooker. I will also give them a good game.

Possibly I am like the Royalty that I always think I am . The Queen r.i.p. never carried cash. Does the King carry cash? When I next bump into Charles I shall offer him some of my products for cash. On that point check our shop. https://babarluck.com/shop/

Dual heritage cat above. In that is a joke. Two colours but they are not colours we were told in our art class. What a sweety she is. I have two dual heritage cats as well.

So does the owner of the cat above. If she includes her first born. One plus one makes two.

I dont listen for football results people tell me the results. The team I support one rather avoid hearing the results. Incidentally Atilla the stockbrocker a top notch poet http://attilathestockbroker.com/ enjoyed the victory of his team over mine I am sure “seagulls smashed the hammers”. 4-0 it was.

Liverpool smashed man U as well 7-0. At the weekend.

We Got a heart as big as Liverpool.

love Lee Scott https://leescott.bandcamp.com/

Love man U as well against those who wear blue…(usually)..

Love Zen Baseball Bat. https://zenbaseballbat.bandcamp.com/

Linton Kwesi Johnson wrote a poem called “Hurricane blues” one of me fave love poems. https://youtu.be/3HELMRb566E I was passing that to Bethan the other day. The violinist and Brighton legend who plays in Pog and our amazing World citizen folk band. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/no-truer-words-2

Because LKJ is in Brighton festival 2023. So I was informing her of me love of LKJ. Bethan was informing me of Nabihah Iqbal in a magazine in Brighton. who we shared a stage with a while ago. Thanks to Tej at SOAS in London.

Another chap we have championed who also just about tolerates me. We love his music. He is playing Brighton festival 2023. He used to book shows in Glasgow for me. Top cat chk his music. https://kapilseshasayee.bandcamp.com/

And now we is pestering Hooligan Sadikson artist creative https://www.hooligansadikson.com/ for shows in Scotland for Kinspirit as a duo in July 2023.
