Month: July 2023

Baby Talk. Yes this is one step backwards from my “sesame street politics”. To remind oneself. One cant appease cruelty and bullies and oppression. Our music is all about thinking humanly in a unjust world.

We are all complicit in this. Dont google words learn the meanings. Write them down on paper as me last African teacher she said, “you forget to write down?” Then, “the smart phone made you dumb?”

.https://youtu.be/2hVeYto2V_I something about something ….all links in a chain.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/the-runner That song is about the world I was raised in and bizarre logic of not caring but being pragmatic. Those tribal and honest peoples would not laugh with my enemies or make joke with my enemies. And the wizened and wishful thinking amongst you will say “I have no enemy” I have always said “Love your enemy”. History and folklore has a habit of repeating these wondrous stories.

The links mention the above and we are trying to voice the difference in us. and that unit is a ideology as intense as all of our musical works. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/peace-in-the-sun

The way we putt things is different in such other music we make but it is the same. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/no-truer-words-2

The next ever present is a kinspirit. Just below https://kinspirit.bandcamp.com/track/empires-fall We are continuing the best we can and developing ideas and the truth in ourselves. Also how we progress through the challenges we face. AS we must.

Below are two very different peoples and possibly much in common. smileing.

They are the unofficial mayors of their towns and cities. It begins with a B. We wrote a song about that directly here is link to that.

The main chap who made that with me incidently wrote that “hook” on the keyboards /piano / Mark “the hook” /and life has many twists and turns the love is always there…https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/the-unofficial-mayor-of-london-town

and keep holding on. Till next time

What a week. It is done now. Amazing to play the Tolpuddle martyr festival in Dorset on fri 14th July 2023 with our electric rock band East End Trinity. Glad we got to do that. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/happy-days

Thanks to the audience and whole crew. who understood why it is crucial for all voices to be heard. Also to remember the sacrifices our elders made to get to speak for the workers and not just the bosses. Sing their names and remember the courage it takes to stand up and simply say “no more”.

Many asked if we are on this platform? Or the other platform? We are a spaceship and so get stuff from our website and all our albums are on this platform….https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/

Then we journeyed to Scotland one of me favourite scenic environments. Since as a child me fondness for nature and never forgetting me Scottish name and why we like the Luck. The views never seize to take me breath away. This time was no different.

There is a north south divide and the people are different. The differences in us make the world a better place. I ate it all records had a launch of their label. Art antics in Dundee. https://www.instagram.com/i_ate_it_all_records/ Hannah does some art as well https://www.instagram.com/hannah_watson.art/

There was a band called Alldeepends with banjo and bass and drums of mr Hooligan Sadikson who opened upp the night in Dundee Country hoe downs and zesty melodies https://youtu.be/r1jpFacbbjo

Coffin Salesman ended the night with a bang melodic impassioned heavy https://coffinsalesman.bandcamp.com/

Hung out with some street peoples in Glasgow we exchanged stories about “street culture”. I was offered things I declined the offer. This made the street peoples even happier as there was more things for them. It is so good to be on the street and require nothing but some conversation and some happy vibes.

https://www.hooligansadikson.com/ the chap Hooligan does lots of art and has a website which has no purpose BUT you can find him and his art does make one feel good.

Above is our beloved Justin the amazing bassist with EET and Harley both have a purpose and sense of nobility in a time of chaos and dysfunctional leaders. We are on the side of compromise of open debate of humans before profit. Of genuine acceptance we are in this all together. Lets get on lets have some fun. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/working-class-roots-2

We do the best we can. Above some lovely Hooligan stuff. For LUCK world do get involved and dont be shy to contact us. babarluck(at)gmail.com

Do be good to yourself. Till next time

#realpeoplelove #uncleronisneverwrong

The thought is all it takes. When discomfort comes a common place. The mirror we share wanting a better view of ourselves. Who will have the courage to say NO.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/schooldays

Yet we cant get over the simple fact how lucky we are and how comfortable we live. Most of us in this decadent western culture. As democracy is ebbed away and continually seems to compromise to bullies and the cold hearted. Those shots fired at innocent by those who are supposed to protect us. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/west-is-best

Our rock band play Tolpuddle Martyr Festival 14th july 2023 come along. we play 7pm at Martyrs marquee https://www.tolpuddlemartyrs.org.uk/festival Dorset side uk.

The main protagonist of the album above Steve white will also be there as he often is.

https://stevewhiteandtheprotestfamily.bandcamp.com/track/put-up-shut-up-britain Safe in our Island home. Those who conquered the world take guilty pleasures. Pretend it is ok. The above album very good it is and snapshot in gentle way me happy to support the good words and those who try and do good deeds as well.

Fame what is it good for to continue the oppression and vulgar state of submission to brands and promotional campaigns. Charity events to self congratulate our good natured selves. As has been mentioned every other slog/blog the band above Pog play with Evan Greer in a while chk out the latest album “she/Her/They/Them” https://evangreer.bandcamp.com/track/the-spring-2

Yes mentioning we shall be doing some reissues of the East End Trinity albums soon. The process has started. Do chk out all our albums on bandcamp as it stands.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/damaged-goods

Also we have those twelve items of all kinds on our merch shop. https://babarluck.com/shop/

We are looking for shows for all our musical units. I love mentioning that as it is only me promoting pushing asking. So venues festivals friends Come get some LUCK.

Logic is not my forte nor is being compliant.So we try and continue the “trying ballet” me with me skinny legs and bizarre rhythms.

You will be happy to hear Luck is back in Scotland but it will be just one show in Dundee sunday 16th July 2023 the home of art and crafts. Do try and attend we have a lovely line up and a wonderful poster below. Hooligan did that.

We are from a anarco anti establishment anti authority background we believe in love for all. When Love is used it means it should not be abused. Only through communication acceptance can we move together as one. Yes me sesame street politics have not changed. We are free as can be but only when everyone is free can we be free. So till next time .

Bristol st Pauls Carnival 2023 was wonderful. Thanks to all that made that a great wknd. Honoured to be part of that celebration and the theme was to honour those past and present who made that whole event possible.

Only throo Love can we change anything Forgiveness then acceptance we can make that change. Samejghei? U get me? Underecht? Above our band East End Trinity and couple of dear friends. https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/working-class-roots-2

Mett lott youngsters who known over the years from twenty five years ago to last year wonderful it was and so sweet of them to try and shape a better world regardless of the oppression and the cold blooded system we have to serve.

https://www.facebook.com/bristolskum/ collective who made that possible The menstrual cramps,do less,necromicunt ,spanner,Tower Harratz,mutilated state,the singtones, & Mitch the compere and all the wonderful helpers and workers.

The picture above is from artist I met at Carnival who organised a show many moons ago and he no resides or tries to in the Island of Crete. Anyway he had a cheeky sound system across the road from where we were and they had “Gabba” type very fast intricate dance music.

He took me across the road and got me couple of prints of his work. The work is depicting humanity and how far removed we are from respecting the nature of things. The natural of things. Was nice to be another house and was made welcome. As it should be any day. Specially carnival day.

Above is Stanley a wonderful dog belonging to lovely family who looked after me. Below is another print from the same artist as the one above Stanley.

Above a particular picture of Stanley the dog dog collar as you can tell he has the planets and the galaxies on it. Naturally as we have a spaceship. Stanley and I sometime navigate the same solar system.

There are a few pictures of Yoda in me dear friends house. I took a pic of a cane he has one side is his dearly beloved and the other side is Yoda. So that is a cane with much power.

Mention this new album by Pog and below one of the family members of the violinist family who have not been pictured and below he is. Do get and enjoy that record. https://pogband.bandcamp.com/album/cobweb-in-a-storm

Lastly and one of the many good reasons I shall be bk to Bristol. We have genuine battle going on with this chap who supports a green and white striped football team. Again that’s neither here or there I happy to be claret and blue. We have a serious Pool contest. I am more serious then he.

He has also beaten me the last two times due to the fact he is very good. Again I do play swashbuckling pool. He tends to cover up the pockets and play a conservative old fashioned style. The pool a game played with sticks and large different coloured marble circular balls the object is to pot the most important ball in the end. There you go. The reason we have a friendship is that he is good musician. He has done three albums is working on another.I like all his music. I choose three tracks being a linguistic person https://claytonblizzard.bandcamp.com/track/sing-in-your-own-accent then this one I Love made me cry in a joyous way https://claytonblizzard.bandcamp.com/track/sunset-on-the-severn & very appropriate appreciate before its/they/them r gone https://claytonblizzard.bandcamp.com/track/dont-send-flowers-when-im-dead At the same time he has a love of the mandolin and singing which he does very well with his family and friends as that’s one of the things they do do. We shall do something in collaboration watch this space.

next two shows please do get involved 14th July Tolpuddle Martyr Festival with Babar Luck’s East End Trinity https://www.tolpuddlemartyrs.org.uk/festivaland 16th July Solo acoustic Dundee Scotland chk our https://babarluck.com/gigs-concerts-events/ till next time Live love be loved be brave #uncleronisneverwrong #realpeoplelove
