What is beyond our field of vision is always fascinating, always alluring, the only issue is keeping people interested in the object that cannot be seen; Space, like art, needs to be constantly visualised, identified with and when it is, it can stimulate the imagination and take it to places that it never would have believed.

The discovery of the uniquely compelling is often looked upon as a moment strangely captured by Time; that it takes both the raging sea and the crumbling land to carve out something as beautiful as the White Cliffs of Dover or the unseen motion of a star going Supernova to brighten the night sky, in these actions Time moves so slowly to create fiery brilliance, the majesty of the final effect is all that people witness.

Bridges are those in which we reach out in the hope of finding people in which to share meaning and understanding with, the passion and the fury, the love and the memories. They are the symbolic gesture that binds us but also they can be the moment of destruction, when the fragile peace and accord is ripped apart and razed to the ground, all that remains is the blackened stumps of former trust and the smouldering fire and for the dogged individual, for the one who sees that all eventually will smoulder, the phrase of the 21st Century personal revolutionary and social anarchist, They’re My Bridges And I’ll Burn Them If I Want To has perhaps never been more fitting.

There are times when you look at the world of art and you wonder why nobody picks upon the ideals or the imagery laid down by American poet and philosopher Henry David Thoreau; the natural world, a place where the scene of the pastoral and the thought of unexplored sexuality and regret can go hand in hand but not be seen as overbearing or tasteless, instead like Thoreau be seen as gentle, the quivering in the stanza reflecting a need to have a simpler life, one where beauty is celebrated but not overtly pushed or alienated.

The Great American Challenge has changed, it has become more sophisticated, less about humanity finding themselves in the great unknown and the partially unmapped, now the signposts have all been but removed and nobody truly knows where this great country is going, not those looking in with regret to a former nation of enlightenment and hope, not even those to whom the country represents their heritage and their dreams.

The feel of Scotland without stepping over the border, caught as it were between two lands, between two ideologies and yet with a passion that resonates inside one beautiful heart and a single burning desire to deliver upbeat instrumental Folk to an audience that quite rightly never seems to tire of hearing a sound that is voluptuous, absolutely spirited and so cascading that it surges out of the blocks quicker a traffic warden noticing a row of meters are about to expire. This is the world of Newcastle’s Pons Aelius and their offering of Captain Glen’s Comfort.

Every anniversary should be looked upon as a chance to take stock, to reflect and see Time as something more than the clock with fast moving hands, especially when what you are remembering is the colossal and the personally historic, reflect, celebrate and play the music loud because for all of Time’s faults and annoying quirks, when it comes to Monuments of a life, celebration of achievement is a true passion of Time spent well.

The path to salvation is whatever you desire it to be, sometimes it is filled with razor wire and the half dragged painted signposts which declare the two word legend of Keep Out with stern authority but with half a wink in the eyes that dares the wanderer, the searcher of truth to climb over and see how far they get.
At other times the pathway is clear, find the one thing that drives you and keep doing it, for the lucky, for the fortunate, music is the only way to be considered, like that beautiful stranger who entrances you with wild plans and the urge to fly, sometimes salvation is exactly where it has always been, in the arms of music.

Whether it a candle flickering wildly, a torch shone with investigative intent or the power of a the brightest of stars filling the galaxy with such luminosity that it cannot be hidden from, that not even turning your back upon it and cradling your eyes shut tight, the Brilliant Light will always be revealing and beautifully cruel.

The accordion is a much underrated musical apparatus, in honesty it may not look as graceful as a violin, it might not have the same appeal as the cello and it perhaps doesn’t have the associated aura of sexuality that comes with the saxophone. However, what it may lack in looks to the concert goer, it more than makes up for in sound, passion and the upbeat heart that most musical instruments cannot live with and nod in deference too when the song requires the same meaty and energetic pulse but with something extra, the close keen eyed observance of the hypnotic soul.
