Join us for the Launch of the Ten Feet Away ~International Festival, the event will be launch with the Elastic Band.
The Elastic Band is a blend of musicians of all styles of music however we mostly play Irish folk music. The band has been playing for nearly 15 years on and off with musicians coming and going. The name “Elastic Band” comes from Mitch Mitchell who plays many instruments but mostly plays fiddle also we have other talented musicians who we can call’ and if they are free, they are welcome to play with the Elastic band. The whole idea been to allow musicians the freedom to come and do their own thing. We are all one big happy family with a bit of insanity thrown in’ and the odd tantrum.
The Band on the day is a surprise with special guests!!
I was not thinking of anything
I was creating a vision of the sounds of the streets
Skateboarders, discos, the far distant, rhythms of Buskers
And the rhythms of the moving London
Potent smells and acrid tastes
Soft touches and lightning movement
A two line poem I had previously composed
Found rhythm and shape
On these beats of London

Demian is a juggler and my brother took the pictures and as we are still waiting for Buenos Aires to say hello, I thought I would post a couple of pictures, just to make the wheel move, let’s see if something happens.

and
Dentro me, profondo in me, lì lei vive.
Lontano dalla realtà? Direi di sì. Ma lì lei è.
La distanza è solo un varco mentale che si dissolve in ombre.
Mi chiedo, ha qualche sentimento? I suoi occhi possono vedere?
Fantasma, mio amato fantasma, continua a nutrire la mia mente malata.
Mantieni vivo il tormento, non divenire mai realtà,
continua ad essere fantasma.
Sì, lei è lì. Sta camminando per la strada, è quello il mio fantasma?
Sì, lei ora è un fantasma, non l’ho mai conosciuta.
No, felice vivo coi miei due fantasmi, sebbene mai si conosceranno.
Città di fantasmi,
Città di illusioni,
portami da qualche altra parte.
Strade che appartengono alla memoria, che svanisce così in fretta.
Rete di sentimenti, traffico di carne umana.
Domani, sì domani, mi sveglierò pensando a te.

Hi everyone, hope you doing well… I was meant to create something about the circus performance but it’s not going to happen, no yet… In the mean time here is George, we always chat at his flat while having a coffee and taking pictures of his work. We are very good mates and respect each other. I really like his work and things fro him are getting very excited, not only in terms of making a living selling his work but the work itself is evolving in amazing ways… but let’s not get in the way, PLEASE DO CLICK HERE TO LISTEN GEORGE AND HIS JOURNEY THROUGH ARTS… comments as always are very welcome…

Inside me, deep inside; that’s where she lives
Far from reality? I would say so. But there she is.
The distance is a mental gap that dissolves in shadows.
Does she have any feelings I wonder? Can her eyes see?
Ghost, my beloved ghost, keep feeding my seek mind
Keep the torment alive, never become a reality,
Keep being a ghost.
Yes, there she is; walking down the street, is that my ghost?
Yes, she has become a ghost as well, I never knew her.
No, I am happy to live with those two ghosts,
As far as they never meet.
City of ghosts, city of illusions, take me somewhere else.
Streets that belong to a memory that vanishes so fast.
Network of feelings, traffic of human flesh.
Tomorrow, yes tomorrow I will wake up thinking about you.

Trucking and trunking
tracking, ducking and docking
as crssoing the hill into the valley
They are making their tea in the evening
oiling the chain that locks the door
combing curly hair till its fine
where the hare runs and turns at his will
The clock goes an such a slow pace
yet the time is allways on time
straw and thatch hats
gaiters and gates
left unlocked in the dance hall
Latin and ballroom
taping and jiving
horn pipe and jig
They don’t give a dime
