Dear friend

We work for a small environmental non profit in Oxford, England which specialised in public communication about climate change. Although we always welcome initiatives aiming to increase public awareness we don’t think that the Live Earth concerts are doing enough to encourage new songs or support the amazing talent of people who are really trying to say something powerful or orginal. And, to be honest, we’re skeptical of the big rock star approach to big issues.

So we had a brainwave. We thought it would be fun to create a web based parallel concert called Alive Earth for everyone who has something they want to say.

After the success of their Mulambo night last December, James and Clare are doing it again on the 15th of June. It’s on a bit more of a psychedelic theme this time and has expanded into the second room at the trinity for a chillout / chai shop / multimedia space.

eat static and banco de gaia should need no introduction… fromem ory is a rising star of fullon psytrance making his first visit to bristol and andykisaragi is of course me, and i rock. It’s a great line up and should make for a great night, and rest assured the chillout lineup, still being finalised, will be just as special.

Also, it’s all for charity! So no excuses, get yourself to Bristol Ticket Shop now…

Just a quick note about a night in Easton and an album release… see the flyer above for the night, and here’s the press release about the album:

“INCREASE THE PEACE”
PRESENTED BY KELZ
The Increase the Peace album is intended to raise awareness of violence, anti-social behaviour; gun and knife crime in the community. It is a collaboration of emcees, singers, DJ’s and poets who have gladly given their services to support this message to Increase the Peace.

Got this email from Kilnaboy today and thought I’d pass it on here, so we can help them spread their joy across Europe:

This is a call out to anyone who has contacts or knows of anyone who has contacts in Europe. We are planning to spend the summer traveling mainland Europe starting at the G8 in Germany. We are trying to get bookings to finance the journey both in Europe and also on this terrible island. Anything no matter how small or big would be appreciated. Also, we are on the lookout for a tour bus that is no smaller than a 3/4 size coach, so any info on this type of thing would be smashing.

Cheers peoples

PS, We still have plenty of albums available to purchase at www.kilnaboy.co.uk

If you don’t know Kilnaboy, they’re an amazing Cardiff based folk band who weave together traditional folk tunes and songs with an anarchist worldview and a punk attitude. Highly recommended!

If you think you can help them out, email info@kilnaboy.co.uk.
