When no-ones watching, when no-ones listening, when no one cares what you have to say or write or sing, when we are all producing who is consuming? BUT If this new world, and I think it is, if this new world is going to be one constituted by reconstituting broken constitutions then is it not better to remake from the the fragments originally made as art. Each song, each poem, each painting, use them as the building blocks to remake the world which is cracking under the weight of commerce, of pop, of propaganda and lies. Remake the world from the truth, so keep telling your truths. Keep making on making because we need your contributions.

I was watching an ad for No Frills, a video by Scott Cudmore and I started thinking about art, because that ad is art and how art is reinterpretation of life, art is a question of what is and who we are and who we are as art and there is a further story about how who we think we are can be reinterpreted as pixels for one or paint daubs for another. Who will you trust to reinterpret you? Who will you trust to re-constitute you? Would you even let go of your ego? But while I ponder here are tonight’s guests.




“This song is about the perils of falling for a poet, and just how rare it is to find true love.” - Lynee Hanson


“Directed by Amelia Curran and shot during the recording of my latest album, Sweet Marie, the video for "Hands on Fire" is a celebration of collaboration and the song itself embodies the struggles and joys of creating something.” - Erin Costelo


“This song is a celebration of me finding my way to womanhood and because of that, opening my arms to love.” - LIA


"During that period of 180 days, I often wondered what it would be like if I ever reached the other side; a seemingly unattainable goal. This song is an homage to that dream-like period." - Ada Lea
