London Fields Live Sessions Volume 2...

Will be live on Tuesday the 23rd October!!!

London Fields Radio Live Sessions Volume 2

London Fields Radio Live Sessions with Joanne

Live sessions with unsigned acts in the local Hackney area. We don't adhere to the norms of planet Earth, especially when it comes to talking with the talented people who lurk around the pubs of London singing their beautiful tunes. Catch some quirky live sessions here with Joanne who is taking over from the Dalston Howl.

London Fields Radio Live Sessions with Joanne: Volume One, Jesse Audubey.

In the second volume of the show, French singer-songwriter, Jesse Audubey and winner of LOCO film festival’s singing competition after the screening of “Harold and Maude” at the Genesis Cinema, talks about France and music. Singing about real-life experiences and what makes a good open mic night!

Have a laugh with LOCO and check out their website and what they do: http://locofilmfestival.com/

LOCO LONDON is London's only comedy film festival. From Hollywood blockbusters to arthouse movies, and from premieres to classics, it's four days of the world's best comedy films, lightening up London in the last week of January, the officially most miserable week of the year.

Judgement Day

Arnold Bennet once said "It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality"and I can think of nothing that sums up the position I will be in tonight.
I will be trekking to Hackney's Genesis Cinema to watch a wonderful screening of Harold and Maude and then I will be taking to the theatre bar to judge some wonderful artists from London.
I feel like I must let everyone win but there can only be one...

I'm calling this day "Judgement Day".

The winner will star on my London Fields Radio Live Sessions show and will be forever in my thoughts.

Enough with the Bullshit.

London Fields Live Sessions with Joanne

After a lengthy three month hiatus, Joanne Rowe, AKA DJ FolksyJo of the award winning British Folk Invasion on KCSC Radio in California, is coming back with a bang on this side of the pond! London Fields Radio Live Sessions with Joanne is the new show on London Fields Radio where I'll be chatting with Unsigned acts in and around Hackney and letting them serenade me with their tunes.
I will be taking over from The Dalston Howl and looking forward to working with the London Fields team.

The first volume of the show will be available for your open ears on Monday 20th August on http://www.londonfieldsradio.com/ and will feature the wonderfully brilliant Geoff Glees of Sweet Bread.

Imagine if he'd decided to get the elevator... It's pretty good luck that he managed to bump into all his band mates on the way down the stairs.

Planet Earth: Home to the Race of Song

I always imagine what the human race will be known for when other species from other planets discover us. Is there a group of logical Vulcan type creatures looking down on Earth thinking "Those Humans sure are a comical race." or "Wow those Humans sure know how to surf!"?
I'd like to think we'd be seen as a race of the arts. At a universal level, Human beings spend vast amounts of time creating beautiful things like Art, Literature and most of all, Music.
Maybe Aliens will see us as the musical planet. A world that sings constantly and doesn't need to rationalise the notes and chords we can create and manipulate for pure enjoyment.
I imagine the Earth ringing with song. The camera pans out into space and an alien race of people studies us and christens us the "Race of Song".
Vulcans have their logic, Ewoks have their forest dwellings and Humans have their music.

"There are no bridges in folk songs because the peasants died building them." Eugene Chadbourne.

In The Beginning...

Plato once said, "Music gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."
Through all the blood, the tears and the bullets in this world, we still have the notes, the chords and the strings to give back life when we have taken so much.
