Month: June 2023

St Pauls Carnival in Bristol UK began in 1968 to represent Windrush communities also to bring recognition to the history of Bristol. To show what was possible against a backdrop of institutional racism cruelty and oppression. Very little has changed in society since then.

The Carnival remains and we shall Dance the blues away and make plans for better days.

“Equal rights and justice is a Mustice”. All me music is about that. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/rastaa

We seek truth in all things. We always use the word Love because it is the only way things can be resolved and sorted. Via Love. Love does and will conquer all hate and oppression. How we use Love to live and let live. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/animal-kingdoms-2

last two links are from our Babar Luck’s world citizen folk band. We were chilling and practising new songs for our new album to be recorded by 2025….

As I have said to many powerful peoples I know who wish to ingratiate themselves with me ,”Of course you dont want it to change or even see it you have a invested interest in it being prolonged and continued because it feeds you very well and your children.”

U see me selective and wise audience.

Yes the wise spirit concurs.

Glad to have reached a common ground.

These wonderful spirits. https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/track/green-pleasant-land And yes kinspirit is still about chk the greatness of that song. Not mine. I was in the same universe. Do chk all our music.

Above is another animal Honey is her name. Loosely translated. There are some Real music lovers who also recognise Reggae music as a potent force in unifying all of us. They have been mentioned before. Chk out their musical activities. And their musical live events the poster below is for a show in Germany. . https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Vf1rlEvh7rprPqWdsWDgG

So till next time dont let the smart phone make you dumb. Just because it is not seen does not mean it does not exist or has greater value. Drink clean water dont tapp out. Live love be loved be brave. #realpeoplelove #uncleronisneverwrong

Salisbury Tales lots to tell. Been going bk there since the mid nineties. Glad to bk there and do a show. The cathedral there is a amazing place. Its the residue of what it means to those who go.

I stay outside but inside. All positive energy is needed. A wonderful new edition to our circle Harley she is pugnacious puppy for now. There is Mimi the cat that’s her kitten below who was there and now is in another home.

Babes in arms. They grow up too fast. Aint that a thing.

A Original LUCKFALK t shirt. From around 2004 the first release a duet album. The songs featured were songs we had been playing for the next two releases. I like the way that works. Much has happened and on this show as it was for some genuine long time eccentric friends we did some requests.

I am not a jukebox. But i can on the odd occasion be compliant. Depending on many elements memory of the structure and lyrics being two of those essentials. I did “whiteskinagainstmine” https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/white-skin-against-mine-2 From the Australian full Rock band release of Babar Luck and the Blindwatchmakers https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/album/babar-luck-the-blind-watchmakers-2

Then we did https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/joe-fernando called the “Fight Game” on later outings. Same lyrics same structure different embellishments. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/the-fight-game

To me those songs remain the same. I do enjoy all elements.

I collaborated on two things this year and also that would not have been possible TJ sent his vinyl picture and that’s a very interesting episode discussed previous slog/blogs https://tempsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/party-gator-purgatory A intense album. TJ is always doing music a polymorph indeed. https://tjdivers.bandcamp.com/track/that-we-burn a song from his musick.

Continueing about the last show we began with a song as yet to be recorded called “Travelling without moving” we all do that sometimes. I threw in a love song thats defo one of me faves early in the set https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/no-truer-words-2

The above song is from the latest album only gettable via this website and all me songs and music is on https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/music

Our next two shows are with our electric Rock noise groove unit East End Trinity. The above poster is for St Paul’s festival Bristol 1st JULY 2023 garden of Brook lane behind Ashley road BS6 5NU is the info DM me on me things do be near you will hear those wonderful bands above.

Then on 14th July 2023 we play the Tolpuddle Martyr festival in Dorset uk chk link etc. Support that festival it is a good thing. It represents the good and humble and hard-working majority against those who may want to eat all the cake and not share or care (not even a slice).

https://www.tolpuddlemartyrs.org.uk/festival/whats-on-friday

Being someone who is culturally undefinable, we always try and represent those cast out, on the fringes of society, those who simply need more respect and love then they are given. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/banging-the-mike or https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/true-believer

Regardless of faith culture sexual orientation what they earn and what they burn. We all burn. Burning has different meaning then the obvious. That internal light is crucial. It requires constant maintenance. Everyday we try and maintain peace and gentle vibes and forgiveness and acceptance. Sprechen ist silber Scweighen ist gelt. Talking is silver silence is gold. Till next time….

There are reasons why stars exist. To lighten this dark and unjust world. In your own compartmentalised way. We all have our agendas most are not noble . Bowie has been adopted by south aliens as a fellow Pakistani. We of the sub continent consider him one of us. Defiantly we continue to make music from that kind of perspective.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/music

Comfortable numb too was a nod to another of our influences. That track from the second album with a character named after the Prophet peace be upon him. Someone else like mr. Waters who recognises how we are just sheep. we can defo resist more the machine better then we are. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/comfortably-numb-too

The main protagonist and writer of Pink Floyd classic tracks Roger waters and having journeyed with those who have been cast out in society and even dare I say the underclass and those “super sensitives” our Super hero character. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/supersensitive

There many heroes some unsung and some simply doing their best choosing their path with grace. Even when ridiculed by their peers it is not easy Luck world.

Two recent tracks on spotify one is above with Junior https://open.spotify.com/track/5BofTV77J1JTftxiIOmtwU the other is drawing by the nephew. Below is character I saw on the day after the day I saw mr. Waters. mr. Rovics. You could say they are brothers in arms. Without guns just guitars and their subjective truth. https://bethlehem2belfast.bandcamp.com/album/bethlehem2belfast-ep

The chap below made a lovely album it is called Temps and those who want extra ordinary music do chk https://tempsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/party-gator-purgatory

Also have to mention miracles do happen and not with the regularity of another Luck classic record. Hopefully it is NOT another 43 years before West Ham Fc win a trophy. I support I dont follow. The drummer in our Rock noise unit does have encyclopedic knowledge of the “Hammers” YES mr. Bridges happy days. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/dream-on

Next Live outing is 16th june 2023 a solo acoustic extravaganza !!! Salisbury 85 Castle street SP1 3SP 7.30pm onwards….https://www.georgeanddragonsalisbury.com/

The following two are with that happy drummer (DJ Union representative also a drummer in Steve white and Protest family and a general nuisance) and our wonderful electric Rock band East End Trinity.

Will end as we are aware of how many wonderful humans who are far more articulate and honest then I. Do take time to chk that link and be curious. It takes great courage to live love be loved and be brave. https://youtu.be/omcWnhGuzBo much love and peace in your gorgeous hearts.

Love has replaced fear. All is well. There is only us. Healing music and what it takes to make music, fascinates me. Like I oft say it is just letting go. The tribes we belong to dont mean much. It is the mixing and the doing and being open. Terry Britten has written some classic songs. Check out a double cd celebrating those songs. http://www.terrybritten.com/

Honoured to know people from the upper reaches of the music world. It is not only do the leaders who sell vast amounts of music and make amazing journeys to make people feel good. That is all of what I get from them when I meet them. To make people happy. To bring joy. To enlighten. You may recognise one or the other above. In the western world have heard that song or both songs. Also a nod to the amazing miss Turner as I was told to say when someone passes “Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun “.

The above is a excellent album. For many reasons. It takes great courage to be supporting Leyton Orient F.c.(football club) Let alone discussing open-hearted ideas. It is crucial that we continue to Judge society by how it treats its minorities. As the closing song refrains “Put up and shut up Britain”. It is act of great courage to go against what our peers and powerful project. Simply we who are the minority race sex culture need defence need protection as history tells us. Do we want to become more cruel more unkind more unhappy? Support Steve white and the protest family. https://stevewhiteandtheprotestfamily.bandcamp.com/album/trickle-down-town

Above is the excellent Pog. Brighton legends. With their fifth album. Brilliantly quintessentially British alt music. Paul pens beautiful songs in his imitable style. It talks about what’s close and far with poetical ease and frankness. Do chk that album out. https://pogband.bandcamp.com/album/cobweb-in-a-storm

There I am being there. I was near me endz and chanced upon a art space cafe gallery. Sat with people I like to sit with. You know the kind of people that dont see the world as a business opportunity but as a opportunity to feel love. To feel real love in its variant forms. Not the mainstream popular idea of what is humanity. https://www.artfix.org.uk/contact/

People were busy being creative that day. One thing I have noticed those who create,create. Those who write, write whether it is on a paper cup, making dots with a pin in prison. Or it is in the comfortable backgrounds of a art studio. What you need can be found. if it cant be found it will be got. We wil surpass challenges. They asked me to stay I had a rehearsal with Babar Luck’s East End Trinity that evening. As a musician I am busy making music.
