Theresa Meh. Unelected Pry Minister of what was once the United Kingdom, what was once Great Britain. Although the Brexit Summer Of Hate started with the far-right murdering mother, wife and MP, Jo Cox, and continued with a five-fold rise in hate crimes, nationwide Music fought back. Leave (some just wanted to help the NHS, not all were nazi traitors to the union flag) and Remain voters were united at festivals and gigs. Arts and Live music events brought joy and hope. New futures are still possible. Let’s be GREAT Little Britain and in 2020, if we really have to wait that long, Theresa May, but Jeremy WILL.

One Year On, and, still putting the N in cuts, SelfServatives are clinging on with every corrupt finger nail they have, after Jezza held them to a hung parliament. People’s sing their Prime Minister’s name out loud at every opportunity...

#uniqulture road show rolls on, back to the New Cross Inn before the gathering hits Hastings, Grays and Brighton over the Band Holiday Weekend. Be seeing you?

Got won over straight away by the energy, licks, riffs and anthemic chorus of ‘Habit’ by The Velvet Hands. Booked them for TheZineUK music social last Thursday. Celebrating their #RSD16 release, ‘Trains’, they smashed it, along with fellow Cornwall band, The Isabelles and special guest, Matt Mure. Loved it, and great to see both bands picking up great reviews, BBC plays etc. Always so appreciate artists giving us the time of night! #RocknRoll

While we are waiting for the new Nova Twins video made recently at the Fox & Firkin in Lewisham (yeah baby, Rocklands Town all the way!) here is a very happy memory of Valentine’s Night 2015. Got them back to the venue for the Freshers Rock Show in Autumn. Of course. LOVE this band!

Ms.MOHAMMED - Clitrock8, Zigfrid Von Underbelly, London. 26/02/2016.

Ms.MOHAMMED play fierce guitar tunes that will blow you away.

Ms.MOHAMMED are;

Dana Jade (vocals & guitar), Charles Andrew James (bass), Zel Baterista & Michael Watts.

[rocklands-blog]

What Dana Jade and the expanding Clit Rock family are doing for music and #FGM awareness is heroic. This show, Clit Rock 8, with Feral Five and Tear, was magic, too. Beth from Blindness and deux furieuses were in the audience. Took a pic of them together. Not long after, both bands were on stage together at #ArtBeatFest - gotta love #WomenInMusic - they are creating the future, which is equality when we can all just be musicians and music fans.

A Sign Of The (2016) Times

Tribute: Rest in Peace Prince

Tribute: Rest in Peace Prince

Following news of Prince‘s passing at the age of just 57 in his Paisley Park estate yesterday, GIITTV scribes have given their first reactions to his untimely death.

“To call Prince a one off would be a crass understatement; he was a unique, original artist with virtuoso musical talent as a singer, dancer, and multi instrumentalist. You could trace the lineage of James Brown, Hendrix and Sly Stone

Thought of Simon Price and Paul Draper when I heard this news. We were about to stage a live show, and wouldn’t believe Matt, the cool sound tech at The Urban Bar, at first.

Awesome stuff for your wheelchair!!!! (plus it’s cheap)

LED arm straps. 

These things will save your clothes! If you push yourself you have to make sure your sleeves aren’t dragging across your hoops. These cute arm straps will prevent your sleeves from getting dirty and they come in a lot of cute designs. They even have LED’s in them, making you more visible at night!

They cost $1.59 a piece and you can buy them here. 

Spoke reflectors

It’s very important to have some sort of reflectors in your wheels because you need to be visible even when it’s dark. (sorry for the weird phrasing but brain fog is messing with my language skills)

They cost $2.66 for 12 and you can buy them here.

Also, please reblog this if you have followers in a wheelchair. Wheelchair stuff is usually pretty expensive.
