The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

"The impersonal gains profundity when it engages with the listeners to reflect upon themselves." Exaudi sing Jürg Frey and Apartment House play Gombert. Isn't that supposed to be the other way around? www.cookylamoo.com/boringlikead...

Listening to Jürg Frey's 'VOICES', beautifully performed by the EXAUDI Vocal Ensemble. (I got HD 24/96 files from my pledge). I am so happy that this long-awaited album is finally coming out on NEU RECORDS.

I'm running a Come-and-sing/play workshop in Elvet Methodist Church in Durham on Saturday 1st March (10am-12pm), called 'Meadow'. It should be really fun, for those wanting something a little different...
