2020
Well 2020 has been a cataclysmic year for us all so far! The entire planet seems to be in lockdown and no-one knows what the outcome will be.
We hope you’re all safe and well wherever you are.
In these troubled times Rock ‘n’ Roll might seem trite and inconsequential – but I firmly believe that music is as important as ever.
It still has the power to comfort, thrill, excite and inspire us like nothing else – and we need all of that to get us through.
We’ll be recording and releasing new music soon – hopefully some of you will find it helps you through….
I’ve been greatly inspired by this passage by the wonderful Indian author Arundhati Roy.
“Whatever it is, Coronavirus has made the mighty kneel and brought the world to a halt like nothing else could. Our minds are still racing back and forth, longing for a return to “normality”, trying to stitch our future to our past and refusing to acknowledge the rupture. But the rupture exists. And in the midst of this terrible despair, it offers us a chance to rethink the doomsday machine we have built for ourselves. Nothing could be worse than a return to normality. Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.”
Let’s hope so.
Much love and best wishes to you all
