EmmaJoy,
I have many fond memories of live music in intimate spaces... all from the sixties. It is when I learned I could walk in beauty.

Oh yes, yes, yes - ballet, opera and choral music is literaly heavenly. What a wonderful evening you must have had! Me, greeneyed? Um.. more than a little!

[emmajoygreen]

Must add that music is my something special, have to listen carefully, if touches me in any way, its my new favourite! Try it all, tis like painting in a way, look and listen, there just could be something, even a teeny, teeny something that will wiggle its way into one's mind, memory or 'more, give me more!'

sounds good to me so please wave that wand. "The music of all creatures has to do with their loves, even of toads and frogs. Is it not the same with man?" - thoreau

[emmajoygreen]

Should have guessed that you'd appreciate this one! Try 'Run Ragged, too! Love exploring new groups; they often come via Artsreach evenings!

[Pete]

how could i not? call me predictable, lol. summer is off to a brutally hot start here, hope all is well with you.

[emmajoygreen]

It is though had a busy Sunday and still recovering. Have sunshine, slight breezes, happy smiles and thus, life aint bad!!! Truly hope the same for you, Pete. :)

As a drummer, I can really appreciate this. It's unorthodox but creative and feels good. It's hard to put into words when you express with your hands.

Nice video, emma.

[emmajoygreen]

Saw that trio only recently. via ArtsReach, which supplies performers for rural areas in this part of the UK. The hall they performed in was packed!

[Relic]

I think there's a demographic that's looking for something different. The band is really good.

[emmajoygreen]

WOULD really like to see them again. The calabash player and more.. was great!

[Thomas W Case]

You bring the scene to life. Powerful work.

[emmajoygreen]

Many thanks, Thomas. Music be one of the foods of life!

[Sami Khalil]

You are lucky to be near or around those small bands with beautiful music; makes rural life more charming. Maybe, perhaps you can write them some lyrics.
Best of luck!

[emmajoygreen]

As long as they don't ask me to sing.. I can't but love the music - plus dancing is one of my best evahs! Many thanks, Sami. ( the musicians and many other small bands and actors etc., are booked via ArtsReach who have all sorts of performers available to book in advance within rural areas. Is wonderful to have performances to look forward to and then, having seen and heard is wonderful. One books according to preference and country folk and their local towns are very lucky! (We do pay but less than in theatres but we also have those locally too, of course!)

[Sami Khalil]

All true and well articulated. You are welcome Emmajoygreen.

[Lorry]

You do have a talent of not just wondering, but finding perfect musical accompaniment to read your words to.
Now I want to go explore their other music. This is where I give thanks to YouTube and Spotify. 😃

[emmajoygreen]

So delighted you enjoyed the music.. the hall where they were playing was full as it could be and the three guys gave 'their all' from start to finish and enjoyed the event as much as their audience.. smiling and nodding at each other on and off. So, yes, find them online and have a great time. One song was called FLY and had great lyrics Many thanks for reading and listening, Lorry. You care such an enthusiastic reviewer.

[Lorry]

Found lots on YouTube. Live at the green note, London and some great stuff they done during lockdown too.
Have subscribed to them just in case they visit these 'ere parts sometime.

[emmajoygreen]

Wonder if they need an agent!? Glad you enjoyed them, they're truly enjoyable to watch and hear plus are more than fine performers. Had followers there too so obviously have quite a range of fans! Good Sunday, hope you and Katie have a happy day.. brighter than down here but primroses and daffodils present beautiful swathes of colour. MMMM to look at!

[Lorry]

Clear n cloudy here but still a bit of a brr here, which will hopefully brrg'r off soon.
So far our smoking trip is still on so fingers crossed... well unless you're a fish! 😃

[emmajoygreen]

Try 'Run Ragged'

[Samuel Dickens]

Ooooo, Emma, I really like this music! I love small bands in which you can hear each instrument distinctly. Your noble words do them justice. Now I'm headed to youtube to look for more.

[emmajoygreen]

Artsreach is a rural 'company' based in Dorchester, Dorset. It provides actors, musicians, comedians, singers paid to performers in village halls and the like. The above is one I and some friends really enjoyed about three weeks ago. They performed for hour and a half with a short interval and at the end had rousing applause. They moved on to two other venues over the the next couple of nights.. maybe more! They were so entertaining, the gent who played the calabash was a very fine musician!

[emmajoygreen]

Meant to say thank you very much, Sam - excuse m' manners! so s

[emmajoygreen]

HOPE things are so much fitter and happier for you, dear friend.

Try the group 'Run Ragged' - came to me via the Artsreach umbrella too.

[Samuel Dickens]

Feeling pretty good now, but got behind on some stuff. Thank you.

[emmajoygreen]

Go slowly ... cos eventually - you'll get there quicker! :)

More than any other art form, music can provoke an intense experience. People can lose themselves in music, it moves them (literally and figuratively,) and it goes beyond the limitations of words.

[emmajoygreen]

Thank you for calling-in yet again. I'd be lost without music.. especially played on strings..

[emmajoygreen]

I should have said 'thank you, Laz K.' - forgive
