Sometimes it isn’t the person that is next to your side fighting the same battles as you that is the person you confide an idea, a plan or a dream in, for any person who is that deeply entrenched in your life might find it difficult to understand that the way you see the world is not quite the way they view it, that there is more than one way home.
I leave a line of memory on a Bicester wall,
a remark, an admission of love
wrapped up in clothing of regret,
for these days I think of you
in sepia detail, like a long lost lover
who moved away without saying goodbye,
I feel bereft of Time,
for whilst I glimpse at you
in modern social media glory and those bitter
sweet postcards
sent by locomotive from
the steep bank of Bicester North,
I miss the haze of Sheep Street
now closed

We all understand The Things That Matter and yet as 21st Century beings we find ourselves continually cut adrift from them, we have cut so many ties to family, to friends, to the past and to nature, we have chased the Dollar, the Pound and the Euro, we have greedily sought to own more, abuse our bodies, as well as our surroundings, we have lost sight of The Things That Matter, so much so that it could be remarked that we have become shadows on a mural; inconsequential, pretty to look at but faded by remorse and Time.

It is the moment of high praise when listening to a set of instrumental songs on an album, that the person being serenaded by just sound can reflect on more than just colours, the shapes of aural description and the repose of the strings and brass offered; it is the highest of accolades when that music stirs the imagination and words flow invisibly, like ripples of poetry, down through each instrument and every bar.

Those Three Words can hide a multitude of meanings, three little words which can profess so much and yet are often fumbled around in case of embarrassment or in case of rejection. We ask ourselves and those we have affection for to listen to be careful on how those words are used, in many cases we only ask for a Just Sign to appear, one of truth and one that Rocks.
In the light of day,
I see you,
spectral showers frame your skin
and the ghosts of our past,
silent, quiet, here
on the Scottish hillside
overlooking the future
with uncertainty and framed by cold winters,
if only they had listened to our unspoken
warning, then we would have not heard
the quiet stealth of a killer
approaching us
from the skies.
In the light of day,
oh my darling, dance with me
as we become
blinded
and then,
much like our melancholic memories,
It was on the 2nd of February 1968 at the world-famous Marquee Club in Wardour Street that Jethro Tull first performed under that name. The group would go on to become one of the most successful and enduring bands of their era, selling over 60 million albums worldwide and entering the cultural collective consciousness along the way.
To celebrate this golden anniversary, Ian Anderson will present 50 years of Jethro Tull in eight U.K. concerts during April 2018 as part of the worldwide touring schedule, including a night at the Auditorium in Liverpool on Saturday 7th April.
You may think, if you’ve heard a song or two, that you know what Charlie Landsborough is all about.
You may even have him down as only a Country artist (he has won every U.K. Country Music Award going after all)…but think again.
You need to see him perform to get the full picture. His voice is true, his music melodic, his musicianship is superb and his story telling funny. He performs with a band whose talents are unquestionable and he always delivers a memorable show.

It is a paradox in waiting, for to go Into The Great Unknown, one must be unaware of what is likely to happen, what is possibly going to be encountered to see the unknown; perhaps the Devil in the detail or the music to be loved is invisible till you first rip of the cellophane and open up eagerly the contents within, for in that moment, for most of the time, the listener is truly in the dark, they have only hope to guide them.

Gravity is an illusion, or at least when it comes to art, for we are told in our infancy not to spread our wings too far, to be content with who we are, keep thoughts of imagination and fancy down and locked away because being six inches of the ground, of wanting to touch the moon is not for the likes of just anyone.
Defying Gravity, the mind must be allowed to soar and experiment with its environment, for gravity is nothing but significant when it is breached, the scale of the achievement, continued or one off, is never finer when the force of nature smiles through its earnest solemnity
