Occasionally life grants you a moment to look beyond the emerald veil, the eyes of the wizard looking down on you with kindness rather than mischief, a single glance at a performer who embraces a feeling of non-conformity but who has the range to delight and make music seem simple, honest and with just the right amount of poetry in their soul in which to open your heart to them.

We stand at a cross roads in the fate of humanity, we find we cannot move forward because of what holds us back, we cannot retain the old ideals and sounds of beleaguered triumphalism because the future demands, and requires, change.
The smell of damp sawdust
filled the nostrils
of the man out of time
and darts,
dominoes and cribbage
the only games on his mind;
the last thing he expected
to find that night
as he strolled into this new adventure ground
was a nurse, out with a friend,
drinking tempered halves
from a dimpled glass,
catching her eye, he surprised
himself by smiling
and fell in love
with the ambience and strength
provided by walking in
on The Bird In Hand.

We are only human after all, and we can all be lured by the seemingly ripe berries of another bush but in the end we always return cap in hand and contrite to a love that remains undiminished, one that greets us with a broad grin, a smile that is enchanting and real, not one engrossed in delivering a plastic set of rules. Instead, one who will come out on stage and perform with natural ease that time doesn’t just fly in their company, it purrs like a finely tuned vehicle along crowded British streets and one that the driver is more than happy to show you every single point of interest along the way.

You can attempt to capture the conscious of a king, you may have the ear of a president but for some the insistence that you cannot capture the soul of a Duke is the most sacred of idioms, the utmost of respects delivered, after all, the soul and image, the words and thoughts of a Duke are surely only ever realised when it comes from the mind of David Bowie.

An entertainer, a performer, who can take you to a place in which you can understand the emotional turmoil in which they have been placed, the strength of absolute character in which they have shown and resolved to fight in, these are the epitome of artists to whom we find ourselves drawn to. Their voice is the conduit of the pain fought against and one that is not driven by self-interest, falsehood or narcissistic overtones, a pain that is real, a reflection that is beautiful, a series of musical confessions in which life is very much out in the open and live for all to see and hear.

The only way that a revolt, an uprising, will ever happen in this country is when we admit that we were all kept that little bit too comfortable to worry about rebelling. What is needed more than the unquiet death hallows of a bitter riot, a mutiny in which so many believe they can make political gain out of, what is actually required is a Revolution of Mind, a well thought repel of all that has been taught and regurgitated across the last couple of centuries in British classrooms.

We look upon the modern world with either eager anticipation, or with the prospect of finding a black cloud hanging above our heads, we search in vain for the appearance of the dust bowl grime that beset the Peanuts character, Pig-Pen, the calling card to which our lives our reduced to nervous agitation about the state of the world and our own personal future in it.

It is the scream of vile objectification, of trying to make someone feel superiority over you, no matter what situation you find yourself in, especially when it is concerned with the arts, there will always be someone who snidely looks down upon your choices, and shouts viciously, “Why don’t you get a proper job?”
