Month: January 2025

Music moves me. A devout musician I am. The moral imperative was drilled into me from a young age via a faith. I dont and cant follow any rules. So to describe me as something would be incorrect. I dislike obedience or being boxed in. I want freedom for all. I cant follow rules. We love to Love. We are a extremely loving human. We have behaved violently we have abused and been abused. We have failed to live the righteous path. Those that know us are aware we are capable of extraction and exits.

We must and do try all ways of communication. As with experience we grow. We have patience. We can do better. We are not bitter we are better. We do not hate. We believe all humans are capable of great change. We via faith were told many stories of miraculous change. I have witnessed incredible change of behavior and ideas from those dearest and closest. Because we did not give up on the human ability to find peaceful resolutions. Sometimes it can take a lifetime to make the change. Sometimes hundreds of years.

Played with https://www.creolerock.com/ the other night in Brighton 24.1.25 We supported them with our World citizen folk Band. The are on the same page as us dare I say. Do check their works and support others of their ilk. The place we played is voluntarily run space a social center. It is apparent to me that place of that type are in much need of support and growth. https://cowley.club/ Please also over-stand that those that work or run those places tend to be soft cuddly decent humans. Their rhetoric may be polarizing but from my experience of 30 years in those environments they tend to be gentle sweet souls.

My sojourns into Nottingham have continued. Restoration renovation repair revive reassert. Those things our project Babar Luck and the lovers are doing. Firstly to simply record a bunch of Babar Luck songs at a very high level. To also have some musical fun. Also to possibly play a show or two in the future. If it happens or not is not a problem. But we shall try our best. The tunes are coming along nicely. It has been a pleasure. James Tony peter & fab joined us all good nice and easy. Incidentally a track our dear friend mentioned, the other night that I recorded with Fab many moons ago….

I wish others were not green with envy about things. As many a leader of this world will testify. Life is not a competition. Life is not about keeping up with what’s fashionable or is popular. By that we imply it does not bring one contentment. I have so many regret’s in life because of the ego and the pride. As a elder I need to express these feelings and facts.

Contentment is about forgiveness and moving forward. It is about seeking guidance from elders who have been successful in life. Success is measured in simple ways are you sleeping well at night? Are you healthy? Are you loved and respected? Do you have balanced existence? Are you encumbered by vices and addictions? Answer honestly and you will know where YOU R at. I am a work in progress.

Creatives create. True creatives dont people please? I am no expert on humanity. I do know something about life through errors misjudgments and wrong choices. I have learnt to forgive and be forgiven. I have sought out forgiveness. Sometimes people cant forgive. Sometimes it is best to let them be where they are.

We try to let go of fear and anger it is a constant battle. Of course it resurfaces from time to time. Of course we will make future mistakes. But we shall conquer those errors and deal with that ego and also admit fault. We need to be strong to bullies and mean and weak souls. Not only are those traits a part of us. We will have to navigate extreme nasty behavior with the least damage to our selves and those that oppress us.

Above pepper. A new hound in our existence. Yes also regards to the world citizen folk band. We have received the new album and the last of that type from me via Mr. Aide Hardy our long time collaborator. He is simply in Love and overseas. Thanks to him for this album. Again this has taken in all two years to complete. It is the sound that is based on acoustic guitar violin and drums. A track from each of the last four albums for your listening pleasure . Do investigate.

That’s a “Gashead” I am not suggesting that the child has gas. No doubt the child does from time to time as we all do. What I will say is that Bristol has two football teams. One of them “S…heads” the other “Gasheads”. They can be referred as the City and the Rovers. There is intense rivalry. There are great historical differences. There is a big difference in the financial position of both clubs. The chap holding the child has a wide and diverse taste in music. But if pushed he would have to say he is a Rocker. On that point our electric Rock noise groove band is called East End Trinity. Here is a track from each of the last four albums.

To end this slog blog please dont forget we are all about Mother earth. The protection of it also infuses how we use and abuse she. I am obsessed with that. As that is also complicit with many greedy and short term thoughts and actions. We must not be distracted by chaos and the flux of life. We must do all we can to protect she and respect she. We can make a better world for all the children not just the select few. Till next time…..

Art and what it means? The above. Fibrously bound wire newspaper paint Rope from the Cutty Sark ship. Greenwich Uk. Voiceless stories of despair are made from old newspapers as a metaphor are we just Yesterdays news. wire contains the screwed-up newspapers in a sphere like shape which has been balanced on rope from the Cutty Sark ship. The wire represents and creates a barrier and force that withholds us from accessing the information within. This could be information from the media,within our communities,families or within ourselves.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/for-all-the-children-2

The ropes from a muddled world constructed mess that appears to grow out of the ball above. Symbolic of organic matter that connects,umbilical in nature. The strength of rope is formed by a multitude of individual strands that are bound together. unified. A metaphor perhaps of the colonial power and a generation of Caribbean people roped roped into a mass clear up,then discarded in a heap when no longer useful. Wrongly detained,deported and denied legal rights. The Windrush scandal. How much can be endured before you run out of rope?

The above written by the artist Griffi. In exhibition with Rosi both pictured below. They both work together on the project. Honored to know artists and creatives who try and entertain inform and simply express their selves.

That is a link to their Instagram of those who made that exhibition https://www.instagram.com/griffi.rosie/

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/you-are-a-part-of-this-world

I say Give them enough rope. Is a line I use from The Clash (a punk rock band from the uk) for those who may be aware of my musical heritage. Joe Strummer (main lyricist) was from privilege and son of a diplomat but he did not forget his heart his soul his humanity in his life of lyrical expression.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/true-believer

It is a John Brute world. People think I not one of them. With me mention of Love and peace. My flowery shirts. Some choose their fate and some times fate is thrust upon them. I dont hate.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/gs-for-life-2

The link to the artist who made the above https://www.instagram.com/mo_zaic_manchester/

The red pill toxic masculinity. The desire to conquer to dominate is within me and us all. Gangsters Politicians Oligarchs Police all much the same. Within us all. To greater or lesser degree.

How do we move in this world is a choice. I picked up the guitar I could have picked up the gun. Cowards use guns. I choice what as continuously mention was best prescribed to me. I surrendered to LOVE. The above painting by a dear friend. The leaders we choose to rule us tell’s us more about ourselves then we dare think.

Umbilical chord. Hope that boy does make the right choices. Hope he gets to live a long life. What else can I say. Hope he is a gasshead. Hope he is not a shithead. Ocourse I am concurring with me dear friend from Bristol. That refers to football the gasshead and shithead. Many trials and tribulations in his circle recently. Always a bro to me. Always love to his family. Wish them the best.

One of my many heroes. Another kool cat. He came to my rescue. I was broken could not smile. He said “what you doing here Babar?”. I said I was trying to salvage something that was lost. He heard me and said “Hey mate we got to move on cant let it effect you forever.”

So he got another elder crazier guy from the same town he grew up and they took care of me. Gave me shelter and said “you be alright.” Now he has faith and has found something to help him. He sings chants and his faith is from ancient Sanskrit. From India. It heals him it makes him a better person. He came to visit with his wife and we sang one of my tune’s One Love. One of his faves.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/one-love-2

We all pass. Sean is gone. I met this man a thousand years ago in band called Hard to swallow. We met again and he was picking up the guitar to play for Sean a singer who had passed. He is a excellent guitar man. Also we have this wicked sense of humor. It helps to deal with life’s sorrow. It is a form of protection. Life can be cruel.

Incidentally I was in that northern town to find a Graffiti artist called Cruel. Cruel and I met and we both know Gea. Where art though Gea? Gea is a kool dude. Top talent living somewhere in Europe. The link below is to a song called Awoken. It gently leads to the next picture.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/awoken-2

A mate of mine loves that women above. He has found a good partner in she. She is a carer. He needs care also he is also a carer. Although he looks after musicians and try’s to find them work. I met me mate and we simply put the world to rights. Yes we moaned and groaned a little. No one moans and groans more then men. But both of us are also aware of how lucky we are. In our own way we work hard and what we love. A track below one of me more requested songs a pop punk love song. Incidentally the chap in the opening shot with his wife made a video for us a solo version of that song. A link to that video as well. The video has two songs……if you follow u will find greater meanings.

The art above and below. It is from Iran. Made by Mohammed Barrangi The chap’s family are no longer there. Like a great deal of exiles a part of his heart is still there. I was taken their by me friend she is also from that nation but British born and bred. Strange how our roots effect us. Specially if one is subjugated isolated and not accepted in our new homes. Or our new home is happy to accept us as long as we behave exactly like our new home’s natives and never mention the world we are from. That’s how most exiles feel and are treated. Leads nicely to one of our fave tracks from our last electric rock band’s album Vier by East End Trinity.

Below is a kaleidoscope and a 1000 Bethan’s. The world would be a better place if that was the case. She is the violinist in two great bands and also the boss in her domain. I do love natural psychedelic things. Also nature is a great provider of that. In case you were wondering what we did follow before there was nations and flags and religions was nature and the animals the sun the stars and the moon. I am obsessed with mother earth and how we can make the most of she. How we can treat she the best we can. I feel that anything that damages or hurts she bothers me. There will be consequences for our actions if we dont respect mother earth.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/respect-mother-earth-2

Of course the reason I exist is because of another she and she has a new book amongst her many others. I am another version of she. Of course you can chk the link to it. As we have 100% unconditional love from those that give us birth. Well most of the time we have unconditional love from those that give us birth. Some dont. Due to my incredible selfish arrogant rude violent outbursts in my life my amazing mother has learnt to forgive me at this moment in time she feels I am genuinely not a idiot as I once was. As a wise women once said”Sorry is changed behavior”. Living loving and moving forward. We are trying to not revert to being a imbecile.

Above dear uncle Ron r.i.p. Of the infamous tag #uncleronisneverwrong I hasten to add he was a character and possibly was wrong on more then one occasion. But the love and respect and the laughs we had were many. Also he was not afraid to speak his mind. Nor was I to him. He leaves behind a big family who I am sure will miss him. I am sure he is with the love of his life Shelia they were married for 52 years. They are both I am sure looking down at us from above. Enjoy all one can. Tomorrow is not promised. A link to one of the songs that made him get sentimental “that is one of your better one’s”.

Never loose your sense of purpose. It means to NOT loose our sense of humanity. Also we can work with those who teach us to do better. The gentleman above showed us much patience and love. Those who show me patience and love get my patience and love. Simple.

I am a musician I also talk freely without fear. I am told it heals me and others. I use music to heal myself and others. I dont take sides we are all complicit in this world we make. Pointing out injustice is not taking sides. We are on the side of peace and love. Whether you are rich poor cruel vicious lost or found come into my world. Check our variety of music and styles and sounds.

The poster above is of a artistic friend who I met through another artistic friend doing a exhibition. Made of love. Heart art. They are doing a art show in London. Do chk & attend. https://www.rmg.co.uk/national-maritime-museum/attractions/sea-things-gallery

A fun fact. Those who rule over us and indoctrinate us are not bashing us or killing us or locking us up as much as they would like to. Control is very addictive. Power is all consuming. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Are you Rocking in the free world? I am. A link to a track by our electric rock band East End Trinity from our latest album….

A funny picture above. To pause.

Oppression works in variety of ways. I am told by wiser humans. So that we can make sense of the cruelty that was given to us. In a sense this guilt and shame of how we reacted or overreacted. The low self esteem this looking through “our masters eyes” I am told it is a deep rooted memory. That’s a fear imposed by those who closed their hearts. Or those who believed the beautiful lie. Greed and lust then cruel conclusions.

The track below is called Rastaa, that is a word that means “the way” in Hindi.

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

The above picture was drawn by a friend’s son. It captures what many peoples born from 2000 onward feel in our decadent western culture. So many young peoples I meet totally cant connect with their leaders their institutions. socially inept. Some say the many tiered society fractured uneven causes despair. The uncontrolled avarice imposed upon our will. As a wise women said “there are consequences for the choices we make”.

https://babarluck.bandcamp.com/track/they-dont-live-that-lifestyle

I keep putting that picture above. As it succinctly appraises what is going on. The divide and conquer tactics in their various forms are very effective. Of course the privileged and the elite will never accept what that is but it is what it is.

We can all be cruel cold and brutal. It is a John Brute world. (John Brute is a fictional character we have created to explain our idols and icons who I saw and effected me when I was young the second part of that trilogy is a full band soul jazzy hip honey concoction)……

There is merchandise and some items available directly from our website. Do chk it out. https://babarluck.com/

I am nothing but everything. So are you.

You be as great as you want to be. Keep trying. Luckily if one plays the game of compromise and not questioning things one can reach great success. If one develops a short term thinking one can also have a wail of a time.

Don’t mention that to the Bees or the whales. Till next time…

Circles can’t be broken. Many have said that. They are wrong. What it implies is that the circle one is in or caught in or serving in is very to hard break.

Firstly I am simply a musician I try and raise awareness of things that I care about. I love all humanity. I don’t hate nobody. I can’t hate nobody. I have been damaged. I have been traumatised. I can hurt, I have hurt. I rather heal via music or simply the best version of ME.

All our music is on one platform. Or one can get merchandise from our website. Simply send me cash. If you wish to.

 It will take great peoples of courage to break that circle. It always has taken immense courage to break Any circle.

Above a pic of an old school dog and its logo and that looks like Stan a friend of a friend’s dog.

The ruling elites and their pecking order. Regardless of race faith the elites are universal. It must be stated I don’t take sides like the reader may ….As I stated I have been wined and dined and celebrated in all circles. I was seduced and wooed by many and my discipline suffered many setbacks. Love thyself then one will save thyself. Love who you are. It is ok. It is also ok to be not ok.

That old cliche of age makes it paramount I don’t wayste time in giving all who care my subjective hard earned truth.

Above a picture made by the eldest boy of a very dear friend.

It does not matter how great and feared one is. No one is invincible. All will loose. Eventually.

You not you but u know what I mean ….will get beaten and you will feel that pain I assure all that feel THAT…..somehow that they won’t feel pain. One will feel pain because one chooses the easy option for now. But you will feel pain. One will also feel loss. One will also feel lost. And yes when that betrayal comes by those closest to you. Or those u trusted. Or those u thought trusted u. 

Above a friend with a picture he made.

And….U May have prepared for it. You may have trained for it. Trust when that vengeance that heat pours through your sensitive loving soul. When that really breaks your heart. Breaks U.  Your whole world you will feel

Above the Leader of the Etruscan Caribic Liberation Army for planet Earth . I am sympathetic to their cause.

……Because as you 

Sit comfortable feared loved reassured. You won’t be able to convince yourself or others how pathetic u will be. How totally torn you will be. 

And that circle will be broken. It will mend itself without you. Those you championed and loved and sought solace in their world. 

They will

Make sure your children’s children will feel that pain that sorrow because those know will know. 

No mercy. Sadly. No mercy….. sadly….

Circles dear readers I wonder which one you choose to belong to? There is a choice. Sadly facing that mirror is no easy task. Possibly …Like I am. Too stupid. Too much. Too open. Too black. Too strong. Too Hindu. Too Buddhist. Too Abrahamic faith n its offshoots. Too much for you. Too born again for what? Too defined in Eurocentric ideologies written by colonisers slave masters or sick naive innocent rhetoric. From all across the world.

Trying to dance that is all. Allow me to shake me hips. Sipp me juice. Need me energy. 

Hopefully one or two readers will get it.

Discover that writer above those who were brave enough to live a real life and that book above depicts a time from early 1950’s USA.

There is no honour in a lie. There is no grace in submission. This is not a business module. Watch those numbers grow? You what? All about those numbers I am told ….

There is justice and there is love and within that there is idealism and within that there is moral imperative. No one respect’s a coward. Don’t be a coward. 

Enjoy the aperitif. The after show party. The chauffeur driven vehicle. Enjoy the false. The weak minded. Enjoy your tongue in its sexual conquests before it is cutt out and you can’t speak no more…….harsh? …..it is me being passionate or even making it simple.

Above a picture of a Chess board with three d images yes that game is War.
……

Yes how hoarse n ugly is that sound of begging for mercy when one can’t make sounds. As the children of the children who have patiently waited their TIME take back what was taken…..hmmm…? 

The pathetic circle of violence and war sickens us all makes us all sick. To think one is better than anybody is a sickness. Oppression of all kinds Is wrong. 

It must stop. It can be stopped. Sacrifice. Patience. More Patience. Work. Communication. Diplomacy. Miracles …songs sung in eight part harmonies…..

It can only be changed by ourselves and the choices we make. 

We are all complicit in this. No one is innocent. 

All I send is courage to do so. 

And LOVE.
You are not alone. But one must learn to be alone. Alone then together. Equal but not the same. Silence is golden. Distance is good for those who can’t listen…. You heard….about listhening?

It is a John Brute world.

I am better than YOUR Shakespeare. 

Winning yes always winning with LOVE. The purest LOVE. 
till next time ….
